Description =========== A very simple admin UI. If you need something more fancy look at ActiveScaffold. Requirements ============ * make_resourceful * formtastic * will_paginate Tested with Rails 3.0.1. To Do ===== Some things are currently hardwired. It assumes you have your controllers below admin/. I.e. admin_users_path. Installation ============ $ gem install easy_admin_ui To use the rake tasks add: require 'easy_admin_ui/tasks' to your Rakefile. How to use ========== In your controller: class Admin::UsersController < ActionController::Base easy_admin :per_page => 50, :order => 'created_at', :page_title => 'Users', :columns => ['Login', ['Email', 'my_nowrap_class'], 'Name', 'Created'], :show_actions => true, :skip_new => true, :include => ' after :create do # Stuff you want to do after create. end' end The model is infered by the make_resourceful plugin which is why we don't need to specify it here. However, the object(s) returned will be named @item or @items (for :index). Then you need a partial below users/ named '_user.html.erb': <%= table_row(:id => "tr_user_#{user.id}", :class => "#{cyc = cycle("even", "odd")}", :cells => [ user.login, [user.email, 'my_nowrap_class'], date_hm(user.created_at), ], :actions => [ admin_edit_link(user), admin_delete_link_with_confirmation(user) ]) -%> To add a class to your table cells just pass an array as done with the user.email field in the above example. Copy icons: $ rake easy_admin_ui:copy_assets Manually copy the sample CSS. You need to provide the _form.html.erb partials yourself. You can always override the default templates by providing templates yourself. Callbacks ========= Index page only: _index_after_title.html.erb _index_after_table.html.erb New/edit pages: _modify_after_title.html.erb _modify_after_form.html.erb If these exist the more specific partials below will not be rendered. Edit page only: _edit_after_title.html.erb _edit_after_form.html.erb New page only: _new_after_title.html.erb _new_after_form.html.erb Will be included on all actions no matter if other partials were present or not: _after_title.html.erb _after.html.erb
