I am trying to get in\_place\_editing plugin working but it shows  
following in logs…

Parameters:  
{“authenticity\_token”=\>“447999a7bc028bf2627501257727d22150beabaa”,  
“action”=\>“1”, “value”=\>“longhorn”, “controller”=\>“projects”,  
“editorId”=\>“edit\_project\_1”}

it says action =\> 1

although I have clearly defined that …

:url =\> url\_for(:controller =\> “projects”, :action =\> “update”, :id =\>  
project.id)

what could be wrong?

That can happen when Projects is defined as a resource in your route  
file and whenever you do that then your app always expects the put  
http method with your update action in your url. So try adding :method  
=\> :put after your url or simply like so

:url =\> project\_path(project), :method =\> :put

Hope this should work.
