Problems with the use of time in the migration

Hi!

I created a table like this:

create_table :work_items do |t|    t.date :execution_date    t.string :section    t.integer :member_id    t.time :duration    t.text :description

  t.timestamps end

I need the duration field to enter something like HH:MM. Just the time without a date.

When I enter it, everything seems fine... But when I return to the edit view I see the time formatted like 2000-01-01 10:23:00...

When I create a validate method in the model to check on the input, I allways get 2000-01-01 10:23:00, weird because I only entered 10:23...

This is the validate method in the model:

]def validate   puts duration # Results in 2000-01-01 10:23:00 end

Can anyone help me? I hoped time would work like date, with this column I don't have any problems...

Thhnx!

Ruby doesn't have a pure time of day class. Just don't display the non time of day bit. (eg use time_select instead of datetime_select for editing and so on)
