Sean,
Thanks very much for the advice. On using "create" and then "update",
I found that duplicate body "parts" were being "created" every time I ran
the code. So running the script 5.times resulted in 5 "body parts" for the
same page. After some experiments, here is what I found to suit my
purposes ( replacing a part of the page with new stuff). Esp. used
the "clear" method to wipe the page parts clean
# ------------
floods=Page.find_by_url('/services/news/floods')
floods.parts.clear # wipe clear the flood page of its parts
floods.parts.create(
:content => "Now for floods and droughts",
:name => "body"
)
floods.update
# ------------
saji
