In place editing on a list - not passing ID through

Rails
1

I want to do in-place edits on a list of data, but I’m having trouble
getting the ID passed through to the controller.

I use this in my view to create the field:

<% for frame in @frames %>
…
<%= in_place_editor_field :frame, :price %>
<% end %>

and this produces the following in my output:

0.0

I understand from some research that what I’m after is to replace
“frame_price__in_place_editor” in both places with
“frame_price_xx_in_place_editor”, where “xx” is the id of the item to be
updated, but I cannot figure out how to modify the call to
in_place_editor_field to pass the id in. I’ve tried the following with
no luck…

<%= in_place_editor_field :frame, :price, :id => frame %>
<%= in_place_editor_field :frame, :price, :id => frame.id %>
<%= in_place_editor_field :frame, :price, {:id => frame} %>
<%= in_place_editor_field :frame, :price, {:id => frame.id} %>

I’d appreciate any help.

Have since discovered that I also need the URL in the Ajax call to
include the id of the item to be updated, as such:

// ...where "xx" is the id of the item to be updated. Still having no luck. thanks. yb.

I have since changed view code to the following…

<%=in_place_editor_field (:frame, :price, {:id =>
“frame_price_#{frame.id}_in_place_editor”}, {:url =>
“/frames/set_frame_price/#{frame.id}”}) %>

…and this appears to be accomplishing what I’m after, but seems
extremely kludge-y.

Still wondering if there is a better way of doing this?

thanks.

<[email protected] do |frame|%>
<%=frame.price%>
<%=in_place_editor(“price_#{frame.id}”,
{:url => “/frames/set_frame_price/#{frame.id}”})%>
<%end%>

In the controller:

def set_frame_price
frame = Frame.find(params[:id])
frame.price = params[:value]
frame.save
render :text => frame.price
#i put a return in here once…baaaaaad results :]
end

Hope this works

I think the in_place_editor_field helper works if you’ve only got one,
in a list you need to somehow tell the different ones apart…one way is
to use their ids
