[Proto-Scripty] Re: Editing Multiple Fields Simultaneously with InPlaceEditor
Hi Darryl, I'm completelly agree with the solution of Walter. But I still try to do what you want wITH autocompleter. I made some tests and it results in: this is my test1 text this is my test2 text Edit Save
[Proto-Scripty] Re: Editing Multiple Fields Simultaneously with InPlaceEditor
I think the easiest way to do this will be to write your own editor
view, and substitute that for a portion of your regular page using
Ajax.Updater. That way you'll be able to customize it to the thing
you're editing pretty directly. It's a long slog extending the
InPlaceEditor to give it extra custom form elements.
Let's say you had:
Headline here
buncha text
buncha text
buncha text
You could access this like so:
$$('div.item img.edit_me').each(function(elm){
elm.observe('click',function(evt){
Event.stop(evt);
var block = this.up('div.item');
var item = block.id.replace(/post_/,'');
new Ajax.Updater(block,'get_editor.php',{
parameters:{id:item},
evalScripts:true
});
});
});
get_editor.php would get the details of post #123, present an HTML
form laid out to match, and would include the requisite Prototype code
to submit via Ajax (read up on the request() method) and to replace
its parent DIV with the results of a successful submission (or a
meaningful error message).
$('form_123').observe('submit',function(evt){
Event.stop(evt);
this.request({
evalScripts:true,
onComplete: function(transport){
$('post_123').update(transport.responseText);
}
});
});
That's how I would do it, I'd certainly like to learn another way if
anyone has a better idea.

Hi David, I would like to be able to click the edit button on one field, for example the title and then edit the title, description and other fields at the same time and then save them using a single 'Save' button and save all the fields.

Hi Darryl, what is the desired wanted effect, because I did not know Basecamp :(( is it : - on a click on a button, open multiple element to be editable - On an edit of one element, update multiple other elements depending on the inputed value. -- david On 9 mar, 16:57, Darryl wrote: > Hi, > > I am looking to edit multiple fields simultaneously with the inplace > editor, I've only seen this accomplished on Basecamp so far and I'm > not entirely sure how's its done.
