nested fields and search questions

[Karl Baum]

Have a few rails_admin questions. Think i know the answers but wanted to double check;

1) Is it possible to add search filters by fields on nested models? For example, property belongs to city which has a name. Is it possible to filter properties by city#name?

2) When exporting to CSV, is it possible to export fields from nested models two levels deep? In my case, space belongs_to property which belongs to city. I would like to export the city name.

3) Is it possible to have search criteria joined together with "or" instead of "and". For example, i want to search all users with name michael or jon.

thx!

1) yes :)

config.model Property do

  field city do

    searchable :name # or 'city.name' or  { City => :name }

  end

end

2) You can add custom fields that can behave the same

config.model Space do

  export do

    ....

    field property_city do

      export_value do

        bindings[:object].property.city.name

      end

    end

    ....

  end

end

3) no :( It would need a refactoring of the search engine and the filter widgets... :/

For the second one, it's :property_city instead of property_city.

And you may need to add a few other methods if it complains.
