Either params doesn't contain what you think it is and so the call to update_attributes doesn't do anything, or you've got validations preventing the record from saving or you've got some attr_protected/ attr_accessible calls somewhere. Other than that @event.update_attributes(params[:suggested_event]) is fine, as long as params[:suggested_event] contains the right thing. > b - why console doesn't recognise 'params' because params is an instance method that controllers have.
