Im using the in_place_editor_field helper to make certain fields easily
editable and able to update the database on the spot. The problem is
that all this stuff gets submitted to the database on one page in a
form. On the next page, the idea is that there is another form for
submitting more user data but now the previously submitted data is
reshown to make it editable in case there was an error in entering some
bit of info. I am using the in_place_editor_field because to me it
doesn’t make sence to use another form. The problem is that there can be
some fields that are left blank and that the user might want to add info
to later in the process, but because they are left blank they are not
editable even using the in_place_editor_field helper. Is there anyway
that anyone can think of to have the fields editable even though there
might not be nothing more then a empty string in the database. I have
tried checking to see if the user data is nil but that doesn’t seem to
do much:
<% if @user.addr.nil? %>
Thanks, Shandy
