Yes, I don't think there's any other way to do that. You should parse
your params[:calendar][:mydateXX] and format them in the way you need.
I would do something like:
day = params[:calendar] .delete("mydate(3i)")
month = params[:calendar] .delete("mydate(3i)")
year = params[:calendar] .delete("mydate(3i)")
#I don't really remember the order they are stored, but you get the idea
Then, do somehting like:
params[:calendar][:name_of_the_date_field_here] = Date.new(year, month, day)
And then:
Calendar.new(params[:calendar]
But that's just my first approach to this, maybe you can figure out a
better way to do it.
Hope it helps.
