Snippet options not saved correctly [$15]

[exocode]

Before you read on:

*Should I save the snippet options

--- !ruby/hash:ActiveSupport::HashWithIndifferentAccess
snippet_5: !ruby/hash:ActiveSupport::HashWithIndifferentAccess
  name: team_member
  options: !ruby/hash:ActiveSupport::HashWithIndifferentAccess
    name: sacasc
    job: asca
    email: scascasc
    phone: ''
    image_id: '91'

in a seperate DB Table?*

Or can I serialize this in the same db entry as the content (column named snippets and is serialzed)

Please help me out !!!

I have two snippet-areas on my page with unique ids:

<div class="" data-contenteditable="true" data-mercury="snippets" id="company-team-members-left">/div>

<div class="" data-contenteditable="true" data-mercury="snippets" id="company-team-members-right">/div>

When I drop one option left and one right, save them and refresh the page, the options get saved correctly.

# left
params sent
{"snippet_0"=>{"name"=>"template_test", "options"=>{"name"=>"0"}}}
# mercury_content (persisted)
{"snippet_0"=>{"name"=>"template_test", "options"=>{"name"=>"0"}}}
# after updating snippets
{"snippet_0"=>{"name"=>"template_test", "options"=>{"name"=>"0"}}}


# right
# params sent
{"snippet_1"=>{"name"=>"template_test", "options"=>{"name"=>"1"}}}
# mercury_content (persisted)
{"snippet_1"=>{"name"=>"template_test", "options"=>{"name"=>"1"}}}
# after updating snippets
{"snippet_1"=>{"name"=>"template_test", "options"=>{"name"=>"1"}}}

Now I add one snippet-options to the right, save them again, they submitted parameters are in a completly shuffled order:

# left
# param
{"snippet_0"=>{"name"=>"template_test", "options"=>{"name"=>"3"}}}
# mercury
{"snippet_0"=>{"name"=>"template_test", "options"=>{"name"=>"1"}}}
# after snippets update
{"snippet_0"=>{"name"=>"template_test", "options"=>{"name"=>"3"}}}

# right
# param
{"snippet_1"=>{"name"=>"template_test", "options"=>{"name"=>"3"}}}
# mercury
{"snippet_2"=>{"name"=>"template_test", "options"=>{"name"=>"3"}}, 
"snippet_1"=>{"name"=>"template_test", "options"=>{"name"=>"2"}}}
# after snippets update
{"snippet_1"=>{"name"=>"template_test", "options"=>{"name"=>"3"}}}

When I refresh the page again, they pop over to the other snippet area.

I save the options of snippets within a serialized single database entry.

  def update
    if params[:mercury][:content]

      params[:mercury][:content].each do |request_item|
        return if request_item.is_a? Hash
        request_data = request_item[1]
        request_id = request_item[0]
        c = MercuryContent.where(name: request_id, type: request_data['type']).first_or_create!
        request_data[:settings] = request_data.delete('request_data')

        # extract snippets
        snippets_only = request_data.delete('snippets')
        c.update_attributes(request_data)
        # I keep the snippets when submitted snippets are empty (mercury seems to be not sending options
        c.update_attribute(:snippets, snippets_only) if snippets_only && !snippets_only.empty?

      end
    end
    render text: "" # return for mercury
  end

Thank you in advance!!!! (urgent)
