What am I missing? I cannot have a hour and min field convert to a duration model field.

          ruby
        
  attr_accessible :date, :hour_dur, :min_dur
  attr_accessor :hour_dur, :min_dur
  has_many :shifts
  has_many :seats
  belongs_to :user
  
  before_save :update_duration

  validates_presence_of :date
  validates_presence_of :duration

  def update_duration
    duration = hour_dur*60 + min_dur
  end
  
  def hour_dur
    duration / 60 if duration.present?
  end
  
  def min_dur
    duration % 60 if duration.present?
  end
end

Luis's suggestion has many options including removing the slider. Check out all the examples and most likely one of them will fit your needs

I have since separated the two since it was causing even more problems when I was plotting the events on the calendar. I know its not the best solution to separate the date and time as two data fields but I got it working rather painless.

Still would love to hear any better ideas

so I have a datetime field in my modle and I have seperated them by:

          ruby
        
%p
    = f.label :event_date
    = f.date_select :event_date
    %br
  %p
    = f.label :event_time
    = f.time_select :event_date, :minute_step => 15, :ignore_date => true, :ampm => true
    %br

and this works fine. I have then change the date select to a f.text_field and applied whats discussed in the video. and I produce this error:

1 error(s) on assignment of multiparameter attributes

          
        
{"utf8"=>"✓",
 "authenticity_token"=>"YHlnywsS5yAA2gCp4iU+RQNGEC1i+VzMz2FQab8r+a0=",
 "event"=>{"event_name"=>"",
 "event_date"=>"2012-12-21",
 "event_date(4i)"=>"14",
 "event_date(5i)"=>"00",
 "participants"=>"5"},
 "commit"=>"Create Event"}

If I comment out the f.time_select line like so:

          ruby
        
%p
    = f.label :event_date
    = f.text_field :event_date
    %br
  %p
    = f.label :event_time
    /= f.time_select :event_date, :minute_step => 15, :ignore_date => true, :ampm => true
    %br

everything works fine except that the time is saved as 00:00:00 of course. Any one have any clue on how to get this working right?
