Hi  
I don’t know how to get rid of this error… I need some help to  
understand how to rewrite it  
this action is executed from a remote\_form (facebox style), and I  
want to keep also the html degraded call

is this issue coming from the close\_facebox + redirect\_to ?

def update  
@auth\_source = AuthSource.find(params[:id])  
respond\_to do |format|  
if if @auth\_source.update\_attributes(params[:auth\_source])  
flash[:notice] = I18n.t(:notice\_successful\_update)  
format.html { redirect\_to :action =\> ‘list’ }  
format.js { close\_facebox; redirect\_to :controller =\>  
‘settings’, :action =\> ‘index’, :tab =\> ‘authentification’ }  
else  
format.html { render :action =\> ‘edit’ }  
format.js { render\_to\_facebox :partial =\> “/auth\_sources/  
edit”}  
end  
end  
end

thanks for your suggestions

It depends - what’s in the close\_facebox method? If it is doing a  
render or a redirect then yes,

Yes , That’s the point… I need to investigate a little bit more…  
but I commented the redirect , keeping only the close\_facebox and  
that’s fine !!  
thanks for your tip
