Hi all together…

I try since few day to use in\_place\_editor as plugin…

so I installed it with  
ruby script/plugin install  
[http://svn.redlinesoftware.com/plugins/in\_place\_editor/](http://svn.redlinesoftware.com/plugins/in_place_editor/)

and now?!?

I get the error  
undefined method `in\_place\_editor’ for #ActionView::Base:0xb724504c

I`ve tried to use require 'in_place_editor' in my controller.. but it didn`t work…

I use it in my view with:

\<%= in\_place\_editor “tr\_#{tr.id}”,  
:url =\> { :action =\> :set\_translation\_text, :id =\> tr.id },  
:load\_text\_url =\> url\_for({ :action =\> :translation\_text, :id =\>  
tr.id })%\>

thanks for help!

That’s not the in place editor you’re looking for. The one extracted  
from rails is at [http://svn.rubyonrails.org/rails/plugins/](http://svn.rubyonrails.org/rails/plugins/)

Hi Frederick,

thanks for the response, but I can´t checkout from [svn.rubyonrails.org](http://svn.rubyonrails.org)

I´ve tried to checkout via “svn” on my shell and with tortoise under  
windows without any result…  
The error-message is “could not connect to server [svn.rubyonrails.org](http://svn.rubyonrails.org)”  
i there something that I do wrong?

thanks Guido

I´ve got it today…  
I´ve installed it with

ruby script/plugin install  
[http://svn.rubyonrails.org/rails/plugins/in\_place\_editing/](http://svn.rubyonrails.org/rails/plugins/in_place_editing/)

But when i try know, I get the same failure

undefined method `in\_place\_editor’ for #ActionView::Base:0xb6efca5c

Extracted source (around line #8):

5:   
6: \<%= render :partial =\> ‘translation\_text’, :object =\> tr.text %\>  
7:   
8: \<%= in\_place\_editor “tr\_#{tr.id}”,  
9: :url =\> { :action =\> :set\_translation\_text, :id =\> tr.id },  
10: :load\_text\_url =\> url\_for({ :action =\> :translation\_text, :id =\>  
tr.id })%\>  
11:

I´ve tried to to put “require ‘in\_place\_editor’” but it doesn´t matter  
☹  
what goes wrong?!?

thanks for help!
