I've got this working I think. I did NOT have to modify the engine.
I'm still fairly new with ruby/rails so I'm sure there are more
elegant ways to handle this.
In my partial view (_form.rhtml) I have:
<td><%= @[EMAIL PROTECTED]
date_box('date_field1') %>
<td><%= @[EMAIL PROTECTED]
date_box('date_field2') %>
<td><%= @[EMAIL PROTECTED]
date_box('date_field3') %>
As you can see I'm creating 3 distinct instance variables initialized
from my table. Then I'm passing the name of the instance variables
into date_box.
FYI: I tried directly passing in table.date_field1, but it croaked for
some reason I don't understand.
Question: Is there a end of line character like ; in C to allow the
above to be on one line each?
With the above the existing unmodified engine causes the 3 new
instance variables to be available as params so in my controller I
updated my update and create methods to have:
@table.date_field1 = params[:date_field1]
@table.date_field2 = params[:date_field2]
@table.date_field3 = params[:date_field3]
The above is immediately after the table.find(params[:id]) line in
both the update and create methods.
I never did get the automatic database field updating feature to work
with even a single date. For someone that has that feature working
maybe they could eliminate having to add the extra lines to the update
method.
