Hi Fred, Good idea:), I didn think of it.. but.. I am able to now get publishing_date in my parameters for book by using 'book[publishing_date]'. But while inserting it inserts a null value still. I figured another way to tackle my issue which worked, In the controller of books , I gave @book.publishing_date = params[:publishing_date], this would take the publishing_date at the top level and assign it wrt a particular book in the controller create action/method. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
