Hello, i got this:

site\_controller  
Menu.content\_columns.each do |column|  
in\_place\_edit\_for :menu, column.name  
end

:menu, is a model with the sections names and contents

In my view i have:  
\<%= in\_place\_editor\_field “dataCenter”,  
‘content’,{},{:rows=\>8,:cols=\>5}%\>

and it says:

Called id for nil, which would mistakenly be 4 – if you really wanted  
the id of nil, use object\_id

Extracted source (around line #1):  
1: \<%= in\_place\_editor\_field “dataCenter”,  
‘content’,{},{:rows=\>8,:cols=\>5}%\>

IF I PUT  
\<%= in\_place\_editor “dataCenter”, ‘content’,{}%\>, it does the work but  
without the size i want, i mean it just present all the data in a field.

Any helps will be good,  
Regards,
