Hi: I have a show page with an in place editor field for description. It works great when description is populated. description can be nil, so I notice that when I show a record with no description, the in place editor either doesn''t work or has no place to click to edit. This is still something i''d like to have work. Is there something additional I have to do for when description isn''t populated? from the view: <b>Description:</b> <%= in_place_editor_field :goal, :description %> </p> Thanks so much in advance!

I read in Rails Recipes, that for in-place-editing to work, you need to have some value populated. Something like ''click to edit''... --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

I was unable to find it in the api, so I tried: <b>Description:</b> <%= in_place_editor_field :goal, :description, :external_control %> </p> But that didn''t work. Then I fooled around a bit until I got to: <b>Description:</b> <%= in_place_editor_field :goal, :description, :in_place_editor_options => :external_control %> </p> And that compiled but still didn''t work. Any further sugestions besides setting the default value in the DB to "Add a description here" as the other poster suggests? Thanks again!

> Any further sugestions besides setting the default value in the DB to > "Add a description here" as the other poster suggests?I sure wish someone could answer this question. I have been poking around and don''t see anything that explains the syntax of the in_place_editor_options well enough that I can make this work. One thing that I wasted a bunch of time on was the :click_to_edit_text - that isn''t what Mike and I want. Instead it is supposed to change the tooltip text when you mouse over the text to edit. Is there a way for me to create a non-database backed attribute for the fake text? and then still have the real attribute edited? It doesn''t look like that is easy to do the way the In Place Editor API is set up. -- Cynthia Kiser cynthia.kiser-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

More searching turned up a post to this list referencing:
http://www.akuaku.org/archives/2006/08/in_place_editor_1.shtml
I dropped it in, restarted my server, and then started using it. For
other newbies, that involved changing the controller line to add the
:empty_text parameter:
in_place_edit_for :page, :comments, :empty_text => ''(add
comment)''
And changing my invocation of in_place_editor_field to include the
in_place_editor_options hash:
<%= in_place_editor_field :page, :comments, {}, {
:nil_content_replacement => ''(add comment)'' } %>

I ran into this problem as well with in_place_editor. The :empty_text
parameter hack is good. What I wound up doing is using an
:external_control which is small-font "edit" text right next to
whatever
someone might want to edit. If the data is nil the "edit" link is
still
there. I find this looks better anyway, since short-length values are
not that easy to click on.
Here''s my code:
<% if logged_in? && admin? %>
<%=edit_text(@style,''style_num'')%>
<% end %>
<%=
in_place_editor_field(''style'',''style_num'',{},{:external_control
=>
edit_id(@style,''style_num''), :size => 10})%>
and as helpers:
def edit_id(object,field)
"edit_#{object.class.to_s.downcase}_#{object.id}_#{field}"
end
def edit_text(object,field)
"<span class=\"edit\"
id=\"#{edit_id(object,field)}\">edit</span>"
end
Also, a warning: in_place_editor is broken for non-string values! If you
try to change an integer type to nil (remove it, basically) you get a
nasty error. I submitted a very easy patch for this:
http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/7067
No action on it yet though. :(
