in_place_edit_for - non clickable when value is blank

Don't know if you found a solution to this but here's mine: In my database definition I make the default value a '-' (or some other non-meaningful value) for a varchar field, or 0 for an int field. My migration to modify existing columns looks like this:

<code> class ChangeDefaults < ActiveRecord::Migration   def self.up     change_column :nodes, :sysName, :string, :null => false, :default => '-'     change_column :nodes, :ip, :string, :null => false, :default => '-'     change_column :ports, :vlan, :integer, :null => false, :default => 0   end end </code>

With this you don't need to modify any plugin code.

Hope this helps.

Terrible idea. This is meaningless default data that is only neede for display reasons, and as such has no place in the DB.

Best,
