Thank you for the feedback, but my household goods have already been safely moved.

What does your controller and view code look like, and what are you trying to get as a response. The default response is the current value of the method that is inserted back into the field that was edited.

I have updated this page. Please get the new code for the plugin from the pasties link at the top. I was having issue with wordpress garbling large blocks of code. But I know the code from the pastie works.

It's just a wrapper for the scriptaculous in place collection editor, which I don't believe will let you add options. If you are looking for an alternative with more features, I suggest trying the dojo inline editor. See my dojo_helper plugin for more information.

Cynthia:
From what I understand, this is something like what you would want to do:

#item_controller

#This would provide you with @categories = [[1, "People"],[2, "Animals"]]
@categories = Category.find(:all, :select => "id, name").map {|c| [c.id, c.name] }

#item_view
< %= in_place_editor_select_field :item, ‘category’, {},{:collection => @categories.inspect } %>

Hope This helps

Cynthia:
The array is a set of value key pairs i.e. [[value, "key"], [value, "key"]]
I could be wrong about the order, if the value is getting displayed then swap the position of values and keys, then the key should get displayed and the value will get submitted.

Cynthia,
I believe I understand what your problem is now. Unfortunately, I am in the middle of moving and don't have the time to patch the plugin. If your up to it, I suggest modifying the in_place_edit_field by adding a value parameter, so that you can override the default value. Eventually I plan to setup a github fork to make things a little smoother. But until then, good luck.
