Hello everyone,

I was trying to install these in_place_editing and acts_as_textiled plugins in my rails application version 2.2.2, running on windows XP but i came across some problems when doing so.

When i was trying to install in_place_editing, using the command ruby script/plugin install http://svn.rubyonrails.org/rails/plugins/in_place_editing

i got the error plugin not found: ["in_place_editing"]

I tried to browse the svn repository, http://svn.rubyonrails.org/rails/plugins/ using tortoisesvn, and i couldn't get any plugins listed in my tortoisesvn.

When i tried to install acts_as_textiled plugin, from the repository ruby script/plugin install svn://errtheblog.com/svn/plugins/acts_as_textiled

i got the error svn: Can't connect to the host 'errtheblog.com'

Has the plugins been moved to a different directory?? i believe these are fairly popular plugins, so i hope i can get some help here. thanks, suman

Both have now been moved to git.

Here are installation instructions:    http://railswheels.com/acts-as-textiled    http://railswheels.com/in-place-editing

You can download tarballs/zip files off github.

Ah, thanks Fred. I've added ZIP download links to those plugin listings.

When I try to do a "ruby script/plugin install git://github.com/rails/in_place_editing" on my WinXP install, I always get the message "removing: I: \instant_rails\...\in_place_editing\.git". What do I do wrong?

Sorry about my previous post, clicked the on the 'enter' button prematurely....

You should follow the link posted by mark reginald. And then you should download the zip version of the plugin. After doing that you extract the files and copy all the extracted files into the vendor/ plugins/in_place_editing folder of your rails app. You should create the in_place_editing folder yourself. Then you restart the server to make the changes come into effect.
