Rails 3.1 in place edits: gem that works, or roll my own?

Question

I'm using the latest RC of Rails 3.1 and I can't seem to find a gem that works for in place editing. I tried the in_place_editing gem, but I just get

undefined method `in_place_edit_for' for ItemsController:Class

errors. The 6 lines of doc with that gem don't really help me much, so I'm guessing it's 3.1 compatibility issue. If there's something obvious I'm missing I'd love to hear about it. [Update: I just tried it with a rails 3.0.10 app, and it doesn't work there either -- same undefined method error.]

Other gems I looked at like best_in_place haven't been updated for 3.1 either.

Any tips on gems that might work? Or should I just wait it out as punishment for being on the edge?

Should I think about rolling my own? I'm not quite sure where to start with that.

Thanks, Stewart

Go with best_in_place. Ryan Bate's has made a screencast on this. This may help you get started: http://railscasts.com/episodes/302-in-place-editing

https://rubygems.org/gems/best_in_place Says gem is compatible with Rails 3.1. Don't see why you would have problems.
