Hi…

I am doing in\_place editing on a text field using  
in\_place\_editor\_field.

In view I wrote:

\<%= in\_place\_editor\_field :ci\_class, :name, {:id =\> @ci\_class.id}, :html  
=\> {:class=\>‘pageDATAFIELD’} %\>

In Controller:

```
 def set_ci_class_name
   ci_class = CiClass.find(params[:id])
   ci_class.name = params[:value]
   ci_class.save
   ci_class.reload
   render_text ci_class.name
 end

```

I got this working successfully.

But when I searched more about in\_place\_editor\_field, I found that it  
is deprecated and it is changed into plugin in Rails 2.0. I’m using  
Rails 1.2.5.  
I want to change in\_place\_editor\_field so that if I move to Rails 2.0,  
it should be compatible there also.

I searched an alternative for this and I found the following. Please  
help me to find a better solution.

1. editable\_content\_tag : The in\_place\_editor for Rails 2.0

3. SuperInPlaceControls plugin for Rails 2.0
