replace `getValues()` with `getForm().getFieldValues()`

[Tomáš Pospíšek]

Hello Lucassus,

first many thanks for your repostory, it has smoothed out my learning curve considerably and given me a friendly place to start from with the ExtJS Rails combo.

Now to the problem with your example code. Lines 54 to 56 in the Users JS controller read:

var values = form.getValues();

var user = Ext.create('AM.model.User', values);

This works when the values are simple types (as far as I understand) however not any more if a value is f.ex. of type date. If it's a date, instead of getting a date type in values you get a string (f.ex. "2013-03-13"). When you create a model from such a value, then Ext.create will silently drop it, that means that the respective date field in the user model will be set to null.

In order to get values of the types of the fields of the form you need to use getFieldValues(). For some reason that method is only available through another getForm() so that would finally be:

var values = form.getForm().getFieldValues();

var user = Ext.create('AM.model.User', values);

That way the example code also works for fields that are of other type than string or int.

Thanks,
