Anyone successfully used super\_in\_place\_controls  
([http://os.flvorful.com/super\_in\_place\_controls/download](http://os.flvorful.com/super_in_place_controls/download))?

I’ve tried to add them to my project, but whenever I update something it  
sets the css display property of the element to none. When I refresh the  
page it the text appears again but it doesn’t update to the new value.  
Anyone had luck with this?

Also, if there’s another similar plugin out there that enables using  
controls other than a text field (select, checkbox) and works well, I’d  
be glad to hear about it.

After cleaning my vendor/plugins directory from in\_place\_editing which,  
apparently, was conflicting with super\_in\_place\_controls, everything  
worked well.

Remember to keep in\_place\_edit\_for inside the controller:

class ProductsController \< ApplicationController

in\_place\_edit\_for :product, :name

#…

end

And in the view (well, partial):

\<% @product = product %\>  
\<%= in\_place\_text\_field :product, :name %\>
