Current User ID

[newtriks]

Hi,

I would like to associate the current_user.id with records created and
am struggling to find out where the best place is to do this i.e.
should I create a controller for Record and associate the
current_user.id there or is there a method more in line with
rails_admin dsl to achieve this?

Cheers,

Simon

Ok so it seems to work if I do the following:

config.model Library do
edit do
field :user_id do
#hide
def value
bindings[:view]._current_user.id
end
end
end
field :name
end

However, uncommenting 'hide' does indeed hide the form field but I
then lose my user_id assignment?

hide does not hide the field in a form HTML meaning :D

config.model Library do
    edit do
      field :user_id do
        #hide
        def value
          bindings[:view]._current_user.id
        end

        def render
          bindings[:view].form.hidden(self.method_name, self.html_attributes)

Hah! Gotcha thanks Benoit!

Hmmm that doesn't work, but I this gets me nearly there BUT now once again doesn't send the current_user.id with the submitted form:

config.model Library do
  edit do 
    field :user_id do

      # This hides the field label
      label :hidden => true

      def value 
        bindings[:view]._current_user.id 
      end

      # This hides the field input and helper text but lose _current_user.id value
      def render
        bindings[:view].tag(:div, {:hidden => true})

Of course this will not work, doh! 

[Benoit Bénézech]

Sorry, you have a much easier way of achieving this:

use the view_helper instance option with value 'hidden_field'.

config.model Library do
  edit do 
    field :user_id do

      label :hidden => true

      value do 
        bindings[:view]._current_user.id 
      end

      view_helper do
        :hidden_field

So final result with the only yuk bit being the helper text aspect:

config.model Library do
  edit do 
    field :user_id do

      # This hides the field label
      label :hidden => true

      # This hides the help field *yuk*
      help ""

      def value 
        bindings[:view]._current_user.id 
      end
      # This hides the field input

Has something changed in rails admin because of which this trick is not working anymore?

I had used this tip in RA version a311e3b833. Now I am trying to update RA to the new version and its not picking up current_user.id any more.

When I look at the params that are passed user_id is set an empty string.

I found out what commit caused it:

78494f5a11c1421cde4b4667a85c05ee8c0442f5

It looks like simply reverting this change and fixing up the merge problems fixes this problem.  You can do it yourself, or I have pushed the change at

Happy Hacking!

Hello, 

Overriding value function was untested and hackish, I added :default_value for that purpose. Also added hidden field. (won't show label, etc)

Please see: https://github.com/sferik/rails_admin/wiki/How-to-set-default-values
