Using jquery.rest with inherited_resources about jquery.rest HOT 3 CLOSED

Does the $.update command successfully change the data on the server? In that case it sounds like your controller simply isn't configured to return a value after a successful update action.

I'll take a look, but I don't know anything about inherited_resources. You'll need to separate the json and html response code, since html will usually redirect while json should return the updated record.

It looks like you want something like this:

class Admin::DesignersController < Admin::BaseController
  respond_to :html, :json

  def update
    update! do |format|
      format.html { redirect_to whatever_path }
      format.json do
        render :json => @designer
      end
    end
  end
end

I'm basing this off of the Overwriting Actions section of the inherited_resources README.

You'll need to fill in a few blanks there, but hopefully that should point you in the right direction. I'm closing this for now since it doesn't sound like an issue with jQuery.rest itself.

Thanks a lot for your help, that did the trick!

The only reason why I thought it might've been a problem related to jQuery.rest was that I had a "success" response even though it didn't work. But it was not really a javascript problem after all.
