Add page to active admin
Warning: this is hopelessly outdated, and not relevant in 2020 anymore. This was for activeadmin <0.7 versions.
Make a file /app/models/help.rb with this contents, for more advanced tableless models you might want to check out http://keithmcdonnell.net/activerecord_tableless_model_gem.html or google your own insight together.
class Help < ActiveRecord::Base
def self.columns
@columns ||= []
end
# ...
end
add an entry to /config/initializers/inflections.rb
ActiveSupport::Inflector.inflections do |inflect|
inflect.uncountable %w( help )
end
set up a route for your viewlogger, in config/routes.rb:
match '/admin/help' => 'admin/help#index', :as => :admin_help
now you can formulate the activeadmin register block as follows (make you sure you create a view partial in the right place)
ActiveAdmin.register Help do
config.comments = false
before_filter do @skip_sidebar = true end
# menu false
config.clear_action_items! # this will prevent the 'new button' showing up
controller do
def index
# some hopefully useful code
render 'admin/help/index', :layout => 'active_admin'
end
end
end
I know I'm a little late, but I usually am :D.
ActiveAdmin.register_page "Help" do
content do
panel "My Panel Test" do
"Hello World"
end
end
sidebar "Test Sidebar" do
"Hi World"
end
end
Here's the corresponding code block in active_admin
# Register a page
#
# @param name [String] The page name
# @options [Hash] Accepts option :namespace.
# @&block The registration block.
#
def register_page(name, options = {}, &block)
namespace_name = extract_namespace_name(options)
namespace = find_or_create_namespace(namespace_name)
namespace.register_page(name, options, &block)
end
