One the things that people pointed out what problems dealing with edits where you delete all of the text. That was something that I’d only recently addressed (version 0.2.1).

Your demos seem to be returning an error when trying to save an empty string. There is also no way to go back and edit again once the empty string is saved.

Your demos seem to be returning an error when trying to save an empty string.

The code in my php script is set to throw an error if $_POST[’content’] is empty or null. This could easily be addressed in the javascript, or the PHP code, or both. I’m not really concerned about it — but glad you pointed it out.

This is really more a “proof of concept” than “ready to use code you just plug into your website”.

But I do appreciate the feedback.

Very simple addition of one line to my code, and a slight modification to the PHP.

Quick plug: my upcoming CMS does not force you to learn template tags.

Second point is that this demonstration doesn’t interact with a database at all. I’ve left it up to you to modify it as you see fit.

That said, if I have time today I’ll consider putting up an example that illustrates your point. I’m sure you’ve already figured out how to do it, since it’s not very complicated.

But scriptaculous and other libraries I’ve read have the WORST manuals/tutorials ever

I’ve just read through your site and its been incredibly easy to understand

Thankyou

1) open paragraph 3 editable field and make changes, but do not save;
2) open paragraph 2 editable field and make changes, but do not save;
3) save paragraph 3 editable field. gets two popups instead of one.
4) save paragraph 2 editable field.

After this you can no longer edit the lower paragraph. Seems to also apply to 2 then 1, and also 3 then 1 as well. However it doesn’t seem to have any problems if you open in top to bottom order. I didn’t test all 3 paragraphs at the same time in various orderings.

Any ideas why this is happening?

Keep up the great work.

With jQuery I’d recommend the $.post method. See my tutorial on AJAX with jQuery and the information on the jQuery website.

The real tricky part with the edit in place code that edits individual p tags is that the database script would need to either find the specific p tag and replace it… or more likely, you’d send over ALL of the editable regions and have the database script replace the entire entry…

I don’t know if that last part made much sense the way I wrote it.

I know you’d like to have a prewritten snippet but it’s just not something I have time to whip up right now. I have a lot of projects I’m juggling, including the cms.

I hope my answer points you in the right direction and if I get time to write up some code for the database part, I might do so.

Also, see the jQuery plugin for edit in place at
http://www.dyve.net/jquery/?editable

I just looked at the code and it’s a lot fancier than mine.

$(document).ready(function() {
$(".edit_inline").editable("post.php", { saving:"<img
src=’img/indicator.gif’>", extraParams:{id:42} });
});

Where post.php is the database interaction file. id=42 could be an extra variable to verify the post is legit (you’d need to tweak this a bit to improve security).

what if you give a span the class/id of editInPlace… when you click save or cancel it will put the paragraph tag back in the DOM instead of the span tag, or whatever else you decide to use?

My question is, how do you find out what the original element was??

Please let me know if have a tutorial on it

Also a ton of plugins for edit in place (most of which I believe were released after this tutorial, but not because of it, AFAIK)

http://docs.jquery.com/Plugins

Please advise

$(”input”).val(”hidden”)

but doesn’t seem to be correct perhaps someone can guide me on that? Thanks in advance.

My problem is just the same as “Jit”,
So I’m looking forward for the site redesign.
However, I’d like to read and write the contents of the editable fields from external files - as an alternative method to the MySQL-database …
Have been messing around, trying to code that thing myself, but still without a usable result …
