Identify the ice_cube schedule

Question

i would like to identify the details of an schedule. e.g:

i have the schedule for an event: event.schedule

"Every 3 months on the 10th day of the month"

represented by the hash:

  {
   :start_date=>2012-02-06 10:37:04 +0100, 
   :rrules=>[{
     :validations=>{
       :day_of_month=>[10]}, 
       :rule_type=>"IceCube::MonthlyRule", 
       :interval=>3
    }], 
    :exrules=>[], :rdates=>[], :exdates=>[] 
  }

to set the specific form elements (dropdown, checkbox) i need to evaluate the specific rules. e.g. for

  event.schedule.interval

i would expect

  IceCube::MonthlyRule

i did not found any methods in the source, does somebody did sth. similar ? My approach would be to parse the hash and extract every rule...

You should be able to just look at the class for that information, but it is at the rule level, not the schedule level:

event.schedule.rrules.each do |rule|
  rule.class.name
end

There are a few projects around integrating IceCube with Rails. I'd definitely check them out
