Hi,  
Does anyone know why if I use SuperInPlaceControls in partial, the  
editing doesn’t work? I can start editing but when I click ‘Ok’ the  
application is saying “Saving…”, however once it’s done it doesn’t  
display any value (not even the old one). Also, when I revisit the  
page I get my old value to display and not the one I changed to. I’m  
using HAML for my view.

This is what I have in my controller:

class FriendshipsController \< BaseController  
in\_place\_edit\_for :friendship, :friendship\_notes  
end

# This is what I have in my view:

- @user\_friendships.each do |friendship|  
=render :partial =\> “users/sidebar\_user”, :locals =\> {:friendship =\>  
friendship}

# This is what I have in my partial \_sidebar\_user.html.haml:

- @friendship = friendship  
= in\_place\_text\_field :friendship, :friendship\_notes

Any thoughts what might be wrong? Does SuperInPlaceControls plugin  
work well with partials?

Please help,  
SS
