I am using ActiveScaffold in a Ruby on Rails app, and have replaced the default "actions" text in the table (ie. "edit", "delete", "show") with icons using CSS. I have also added a couple of custom actions with action_link.add ("move" and "copy"). For clarity, I would like to have the icons displayed in a different order than they are. ...
I am using ActiveScaffold in a Ruby on Rails app, and to save space in the table I have replaced the default "actions" text in the table (ie. "edit", "delete", "show") with icons using CSS. I have also added a couple of custom actions with action_link.add ("move" and "copy"). For clarity, I would like to have a tooltip pop up with the r...
I am wanting to use ActiveScaffold to create assignment records for several students in a single step. The records will all contain identical data, with the exception of the student_id. I was able to override the default form and replace the dropdown box for selecting the student name with a multi-select box - which is what I want. Th...

I tried using Composite Keys plugin to handle it, but it seems to have conflicts with ACtiveScaffold: I get the following error: ActionView::Templa...
The ActiveScaffold list view has a search form that is loaded via ajax when a user click the search link. I'd prefer to have the form show by default when a user opens a list page. I've figured out a way to trigger the ajax call when the page loads, but I'm wondering if there's a way to get ActiveScaffold to render the form automaticall...
When I ask ActiveScaffold to show me a very long list (for example the list of products sold), it runs the database query to get the first page of data and it displays it. If the list has a few relations, this query might take some time to execute (over a second). Most of the time, I'm not interested in this "unfiltered" list: the firs...

Hi, I have a Project model and a TaskType model. Association between the two occurs through a ProjectTaskType model (backed by a link/join table in the DB with foreign keys to both Projects and TaskTypes).

I have several models with fields that are integers. I also have hashes that associate integers with strings (1 => Blue, 2 => Red, that sort of thing). How do you turn these into dropdown lists in an ActiveScaffold (http://github.com/activescaffold) controller? Do you need custom code, or is there just a customization that I'm not see...
With ActiveScaffold I have a group on my create form: config.create.columns.add_subgroup "Customer" do |customer_group| customer_group.add :customer_surname, :customer_postcode end This has a Show/Hide link which I don't want. How do I remove the Show/Hide links on a subgroup in ActiveScaffold? ...
Hi All, I would like to call @records.collect{|r| r.set_some_virtual_attribute(@context)} before rendering an activescaffold index view, but if I do this : controller FooController < ApplicationController before_filter :change_things, :only => :index active_scaffold :foos protected def change_things @records.collect...
Hi All, I've recently added activescaffold to an existing rails project, and the problem I'm having is that the variable names that activescaffold is using are not the same as the ones I already have. Rather than go through my entire application and change all of the instance variable names, I'd like to be able to set the instance varia...

I need to use the nifty_scaffold to generate all the views and controller for my model, but I already have the model, the migration and the table in database, so I don't need it to generate the migrations. The problem is that when it founds an old migration, it says Another migration is already named your_table: db/migrate/2009090421220...
Hi All, I have a 3yr old application that has some controllers with some very unrestful actions. I'm trying to implement a new resource that has relationships to some of the older ones, but I want to use activescaffold to manage the nested resources rather than try to rewrite the plate of spaghetti that is the rest of the codebase. I ...
ActiveScaffold apparently creates public/blank.html every time the server starts, even if that file already exists (so adding it to version control doesn't help). This is causing my application to fail to boot on Heroku, since they have a read-only file system. Can someone please tell me how to prevent this behavior or work around it s...
