When I add this to my model:
def after_initialize
:date = Date.today
end
I get this error -- /home/xxdesmus/timetool/app/models/post.rb:38:
syntax error, unexpected '=', expecting kEND :date = Date.today ^
when I try it this way:
def after_initialize
date = Date.today
end
It doesn't do anything ...probably because my field should have a
different name other than "date" huh?
