@Jens: Hm, do you use the Security component? If that's the case, your request probably got "blackholed". You could resolve this issue by defining a blackHoleCallback method:


public function beforeFilter(){
    $this->Security->blackHoleCallback = "isAllowedAjaxRequest";
}

public function isAllowedAjaxRequest($error){
    if($this->params['controller'] == "posts" && $this->params['action'] == "updateTitle") {
        return;
    } 

    die('invalid request');
}

Hope this helps!

@Josh: Hm. Did you check with Firebug (or a similar tool) what is sent to the server? Do you use the Security component? And can you set “debug” in app/config/core.php to a value greater than 0 and check whether there is some notice/warning?

@cakeaker @alex:
Thanks, that’s got me most of the way there. But after I save, though the database is being updated, it goes to a blank page (with the url of my detail page where I’ve implemented the edit in place…

Can anybody help me out? It’s also adding an “>” to the end of every value on save…

@Josh: Thanks for your comment.

Well, you can use the “edit in place” on a detail view in the same way you use it on the index page.

And to make it work for different fields, have a look at the comment from alex.

Hope that helps!

Could anybody explain to me how I would change this to use it as an edit in place on the detail view rather than the index page? And have it work for all fields? Actually — I need to be able to edit the children models of the model whose view I am in… Is that possible with this?

Very easy to understand – glad you’re the top search for ‘editable cakePHP’. Got it up and running on my system in minutes – cheers to you and Mika Tuupola.

@cakebaker: Thanks very much for an excellent snippet and tutorial, this is perfect and much easier to use than Ajax::editable (with jQuery loaded).

@alex: Your code was exactly what I was hoping on achieving, I’ve tweaked it a little and it does the job perfectly! Now for a bit of tinkering and that’s Add, Edit, Delete and View all wrapped into 1 page =]
