I have this code that creates a table on the activeadmin Dashboard:
columns do
column do
panel "New Mentor's requests" do
table_for User.where(mentor_request: true) do |t|
t.column("Id") { |user| user.id }
t.column("Name") { |user| user.account.full_name }
t.column("Email") { |user| user.account.email }
t.column("Organization") { |user| user.organization.name }
end
end
end
end
Is there a way to add "actions" like on the rest of the resources? I mean like "new, edit, delete", but a custom one.
I tried putting the "actions" tag, but I get an undefined method.
table_for is used to render a collection of objects which may not necessarily be ActiveRecord objects, so the action methods aren't available like they are in an index action. However, you should be able to render your own actions with something like this:
column("View User") { |user| link_to "View", user_path(user) }
EDIT For multiple links you can wrap the link_tos use Arbre's span tag:
column("View User") do |user|
span link_to "View", "/mypath"
span link_to "Edit", "/mypath"
span link_to "Delete", "/mypath"
end
I'm using ActiveAdmin 1.0.0.pre2 w/ arbre 1.0.2, I haven't tried it on earlier versions.
You can also try this:
ActiveAdmin.register Foo do
actions :all
index do
column :name
actions defaults: true do |foo|
link_to "Custom ACTION", custom_action_path(foo.id)
end
end
end
It worked for me to have more options than the already defined ones: View, Edit, Delete

Rails ActiveAdmin offers native selectable_column element for batch action, and I found a plugin gem 'active_admin_scoped_collection_actions'
Both are excellent options for the INDEX page, but can I bring that functionality to the Show/View page, or a nested table_for on a tab?
Here's how I'm surfacing a child table as a grid:
forfeitures = ref_bond.forfeitures
renderer_forves = ActiveAdminExtensions::Renderer.new(resource: forfeitures, row: ->(field) { column field })
render_field_forves = ->(field) {
}
tab "Forfeitures" do
button :class => "btn_new_panel" do
link_to("New Forfeiture", new_admin_forf_path(bond_no: ref_bond.BONDNO, typ_inst: ref_bond.TYP_INST))
end
table_for forfeitures, class: "index_table" do
Forves.columns.each &render_field_forves
column :actions do |r|
text_node link_to "View", [:admin, r]
text_node " "
text_node link_to "Edit", [:edit, :admin, r]
end
end
end
So how can I get those Batch Actions here?
I am looking for some pointers on getting started with this feature; I would like a user to be able to preview what their post would look like if saved
ActiveAdmin.register Post do
permit_params :comments, :title, :category_id, :slug, :published
# Create Blog Post
form do |f|
inputs 'Blog' do
f.semantic_errors
f.input :title
f.input :category_id, as: :select, collection: Category.all
f.input :comments, as: :text, input_html: { rows: 10, cols: 10 }
f.input :published, as: :boolean
end
inputs 'Submit' do
f.actions
end
end
end
So looking at the active admin documentation I can see you can add custom action items
action_item :preview, only: :new, name: 'preview_button' do
# do stuff here
end
I can also add a custom controller action in the form of a collection_action which will also add a route for me
collection_action :preview, method: :post do
#post = Post.new(params[:post])
end
So now I have a custom action preview and a button that can pass data to the method (I have hard coded it for now, as unsure how to get the data from outside the form).
This is what I have so far:
action_item :preview, only: :new, name: 'preview_button' do
link_to 'Preview', preview_my_admin_panel_posts_path(post: { title: 'Test Title', comments: 'test comments', category_id: '1' })
end
# Add controller action
collection_action :preview, method: :get do
#post = Post.new(params[:post_params])
end
My view gets rendered but nothing gets outputted, how do I then show the data?
Is this the correct approach?
Update
Can now show the hardcoded data with
collection_action :preview, method: :get do
#post = Post.new(permitted_params[:post])
end
The difference being in the active admin docs
The permit_params call creates a method called permitted_params. You should use this method when overriding create or update actions:
Now I just need to grab the form data outside the form and pass it through my link_to and then be able to keep the form populated with the same data if I go back to the form.
Ideally I would like to have the preview button within the f.actions as then I would have access to the #post object.
Let's say I have book model, book.rb
class Book
include Mongoid::Document
field :book_id, type: String
field :title, type: String
end
(Here I'm using mongoid, but I think for this question it doesn't matter what type of data is.)
The book model has its own controller, views, etc.
Now, I want to create a page with form_tag (let me know if this is not a proper way), where by entering book's id and clicking enter I'll be able to remove the record this this given id from the database.
remove.html.erb:
<%= form_tag books_path, :method => 'get' do %>
<p>book_id:
<%= text_field_tag :book_id, params[:book_id] %>
<%= submit_tag "Remove", :name => nil, :confirm => "Are you sure?" %>
</p>
<% end %>
I know how to remove a given document, but can't figure out how to pass the value entered in the form and where to put the logic that will remove document.
First things first. Why do you need to store a book_id for your Book model ? Mongoid already provide a _id field for this purpose.
The usual way to destroy resources is to hit the destroy action in your controller by making a DELETE HTTP request.
class BooksController
def destroy
Book.find(params[:id]).destroy
redirect_to :back
end
end
Then simply do a link with the following:
link_to "Delete", book_path(#book), method: :delete
Where #book is your book instance.
I want to pass param from the following link in the view of Client controller
and the hash is #client, I want to pass #client.user_id, if i put (:id => #client.user_id) I am not able the get :id in the other controller Estate where I want to pass this param. What should I do ? Is there a way to do it ?(Two controllers are Client and Estate, I want to pass param from Client view to the Estate controllers create method. There is no nesting of resources here!)
<%= link_to "New Property", new_estate_path(:key => #client.first.user_id) %>
create action
def create
# #estate = Estate.new(params[:estate])
if current_user.Company.nil?
#estate = current_user.estates.build(params[:estate])
else
serve = User.find(params[:key])
debugger
#estate = serve.estates.build(params[:estate])
##estate.user_id = user_id
debugger
end
respond_to do |format|
if #estate.save
if #estate.Mgmt.nil?
EstateMailer.company_confirmation(#estate).deliver
end
format.html { redirect_to #estate, notice: 'Estate was successfully created.' }
format.json { render json: #estate, status: :created, location: #estate }
else
format.html { render action: "new" }
format.json { render json: #estate.errors, status: :unprocessable_entity }
end
end
end
The code you pasted here should work:
<%= link_to "New Property", new_estate_path(:id => #client.user_id) %>
I think the problem is, you are expecting the params in create method but where as it actually goes to new method.
If you are looking for the create method. You can do
<%= link_to "New Property", estates_path(:id => #client.user_id), :method => :post %>
But that is not the right approach to use for POST actions. The right solution would be to use button_to.
<%= button_to "New Property", estates_path(:id => #client.user_id), :method => :post %>
link_to defaults to GET and button_to defaults to POST, as those are their primary usages. You can override :method if you want them to perform other action than their default.
Simply do this
<%= link_to "New Property", new_estate_path(user_id: #client.user_id) %>
In your controller:
params[:user_id]
You problem is that the create action is a POST not a GET. The link_to will only allow GET actions.
I made class variable in the controller outside all the actions.
##key, and in the new action assigned ##key the user_id that was coming through the params, and this ##key in the create action. I don't know if its the right way to do it. But it worked like a charm !
I have dropdown list using select_tag and I have button near it.
I have following requirements:
1) on click of submit button it should go to books#show action
2) Then in show action I retrieve the selected book from dropdown list
3) The show method should show details of book that I would retrieve from database
i.e,the same page should update with this book details.
However,I am unable to perform none of this.
In my view:
<%= form_tag books_path do |f|%>
<%= label_tag "select book" %>
<%= select_tag "selectbook", options_from_collection_for_select(#bid,"book_id","book_id"), :prompt => "Select book",:class => 'cmbbook' %>
<%= submit_tag "view ...", :disable_with => "Please wait." ,:action => "show"%>
<%end%>
In my controller
if(params[:selectbook])
#books = Book.where("book_id = ?",params[:selectbook])
else
#books = Book.all
end
#bid= Books.select("book_id").uniq;
respond_to do |format|
format.html # show.html.erb
format.xml { render :xml => #books }
format.json { render json: #books }
end
The submit method calling action create instead of show and I also wish the page autoupdate with new book data.
First of all, you should specify controller and action for the form, like this
form_tag( {:controller => 'your_controller', :action => "show"} )
For autoupdating page you should read rails doc
I have found what to do:
I have to write a method in javascript that calls getJson() method to appropriate controller and action and again update view using javascript.Thus,using ajax javascript problem is solved.However,I wish I can do same with pure ruby code.
