In place editing for a "group of fields"
I remember seeing such a technique in a blog/article/book but am unable to find it. It essentially used a hidden div which contained the form which was visible only during editing. any pointers ? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Re: In place editing for a "group of fields"
Thanks Mike ... all of those resources talk about in-place editing for just one field at a time. What I am looking for is a dynamic form that follows the same principle but for a group of fields at a time. So instead of having to save each individual field, the user can edit multiple fields and hit save just once. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

I did find someone who asked about the same functionality in November 2006, but the reply was that the edit in place script would have to be re-worked. Sorry I couldn''t help.

Re: In place editing for a "group of fields"
I did see this mentined in some article and its frustrating not to find any pointers. thanks for trying to help =) --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

what about form_remote_for or form_remote_tag? http://api.rubyonrails.com/classes/ActionView/Helpers/PrototypeHelper.html#M000531 http://api.rubyonrails.com/classes/ActionView/Helpers/PrototypeHelper.html#M000529 On 6/2/07, idealguru-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org <ubguru-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote:> > I did see this mentined in some article and its frustrating not to > find any pointers. > > thanks for trying to help =) > > > > > >--~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

What I do in this case is create the form_remote_for inside a hidden
div (style="display:none") then toggle that hidden div with something
like:
link_to_function(''edit'', visual_effect(:toggle_appear,
''the_hidden_form_div''))
If you want to be able to click on multiple fields and edit them all,
you could do something like this:
<div id="fields"
onclick="$(''fields'').hide();$(''edit'').show()">
Field 1: <%= @model.name %><br />
Field 2: <%= @model.description %>
</div>
<div id="edit" style="display:none">
<% form_remote_for :model..... do |f| %>
<%= f.text_field, :name %><br />
<%= f.text_area, :description %><br />
<%= submit_tag ''Save'' %>
<%= link_to_function ''Cancel'',
"$(''edit'').hide();$
(''fields'').show()" $>
<% end %>
</div>
I usually put something like the above into a partial, then use RJS to
reload that partial after the remote save.
Hope this helps.
