I see you say this was written under Rails 1.2. I am assuming this will not work under Rails 3.2.3. I tried it on Linux (openSUSE 12.1) and it works perfectly (after installing Git, curl and RVM) when I do what you did but it's a different story on Windows. Do I have to alter the code. For instance say rails new wiki instead of the code shown.

Hi Michael, I am getting a route error when its attempts to save a page, after the “Create Page” button is clicked.

This is my error:

Routing Error

No route matches [POST] “/assets”
Try running rake routes for more information on available routes.

I hope you could offer guidance! Unfortunately I need to finish making a wiki within a couple hours!

Thanks

Hi Michael, is it possible for you to adapt this tutorial for the new version of rails and ruby?

“These methods don’t do anything yet. In your browser, load the URL http://localhost:3000/page/create_page. You’ll get an error message that says “Unknown action: No action responded to create”. In fact, what has happened is that Rails parses the URL, and determines from the first part (“page”) that it should load page_controller.rb, and from the second part that it should call the display_page action.”

Don’t you mean “create_page” at the end of this paragraph?

Sai – I think you’re probably seeing those errors because you’re using a newer version of Rails. This was written under Rails 1.2.

You had errors because the standard method names are: index show new create edit update destroy

… i.e. show, not display.

as john has said you need to install the plugin for inplace editor using ruby script/plugin install in_place_editing

and to make it work properly You need to apply this patch for inplace editor

http://dev.rubyonrails.org/attachment/ticket/10055/in_place_editing_should_work_with_csrf_and_rjs.patch

good article Michael

In place editing has been moved to a plugin in Rails 2. The above code will probably work if do script/plugin install in_place_editing

I’m not eager to get caught up in arguments over definitions. I think it’s pretty clear that I’m using the term wiki very loosely here. My micro-app is in no sense a complete wiki or CMS.

In regard to the second, I wrote:

“A very simple Wiki in 42 lines of Rails code, with a few dozen extra lines of templates and stylesheets”

I don’t see that there’s any inaccuracy here.
