# Customizing the Show Screen

Customizing the show screen is as simple as implementing the show block:

    ActiveAdmin.register Post do
      show do
        h3 post.title
        div do
          simple_format post.body
        end
      end
    end

The show block is rendered within the context of the view and uses the Arbre HTML DSL. You
can also render a partial at any point.

    ActiveAdmin.register Post do
      show do
        # renders app/views/admin/posts/_some_partial.html.erb
        render "some_partial"
      end
    end

If you'd like to keep the default active_admin look, you can also use "attributes_table":

    ActiveAdmin.register Ad do
      show do |ad|
        attributes_table do
          row :title
          row :image do
            image_tag(ad.image.url)
          end
        end
        active_admin_comments
      end
    end

You can customize the title of the object in the show screen.  The default is the resouce name and the ID.  You can customize as follows:
    
    show :title => :name do
    end
