I would like to add in-place editing functionality to my application, but I fetch & store the data from/into a weird source that requires some transformations to be done before displaying & storing the content. A slightly (over)simplified example could be the following. Assume that I have a table "data" with two columns: id name -- ---- 1 XX 2 XXXX 3 XXX show.html.erb would return the following for each object: data/1 ------ this is id: 1 length: 2 [edit button] ------ data/2 ------ this is id: 2 length: 4 [edit button] ------ data/3 ------ this is id: 3 length: 3 [edit button] ------ I would like to press [edit button] (or a simple link) that should change the number into editable field that should only accept numbers. ------ this is id: 2 length: |_4_| [save button] ------ And when changing 4 into 6 and pressing [save button] I want to modify the name in database to store six X characters instead of four: id name -- ---- 1 XX 2 XXXXXX 3 XXX and return to normal show page: data/2 ------ this is id: 2 length: 6 [edit button] ------ Is there a simple way to do that with existing macros? (I''m using rails 2.1.)
