I took the comments code from Bernat's blog rails mini tutorial
I tried adding the edit in place functionality by using his best_in_place gem. For the most part it worked right
My code is deployed at
http://falling-spring-3964.herokuapp.com/comments
You can look at the code here
https://github.com/sunnygill/commentsapp
Problem:
- I add a new comment. It shows up perfectly at the top of the page but the in place editing of the name does not work
- if i refresh the page then in pace editing works
Question:
How can i make the in place editing work without refreshing the page
I encountered the same problem, and my solution is add $('.best_in_place').best_in_place();
to the create.js.erb
file.
This is because you are not wiring the in-line-edit javascript plugin to the newly created HTML element (that holds the name to be editable) after completing the ajax call. I tried to look at your source code on Github, but it looks outdated.
Your controller isn't responding to JSON for the update method. Pretty simple to fix: simply add something like the following to your update action.
def update
...
respond_to do |format|
format.html { redirect_to @user}
format.json { render json: @user }
end
...
end
