Toggle Search

[jhe...@gmail.com]

Hi

Is it possible to add an action/button/whatever to let my users toggle between seach and field search in an List?

Hi

By default, you must choose if you want to use search or field search actions,
swapping search with field_search action (config.actions.swap :search,
:field_search), or leaving default search action.

If you add field_search action, instead of swapping search, it will add
action_link to show search with same parameters as search's action link, which
will open form for search action. You can define kind parameter of the
field_search's action_link:

config.field_search.link.parameters = {:kind => :field_search}

In this way, you will get 2 show search links, so you may want to change some
labels too.

Hi

This works like a charm, thanky you very much.

Can you confirm that search/field_search swap is working in current master, or 3.6.0 rc2 ?  I can only get search or field search to work, not both, and no "swap" behavior.

If you have a working controller example, could you post it?

Thanks!

Hi

This is how I did in the past, it's in a project I haven't upgraded to master yet, but I think it should still work:

   config.actions << :field_search

   config.field_search.link.parameters = {:kind => :field_search}

Hi Sergio,

Thanks, but this is not working for me.  I can get only field_search or search to work, but not both, using separate links, or the swap.  I decided I would try to build a fresh application, so there would be no ambiguity about the test case, and thought it would also be good to document this somewhere.  I was able to get the application to build, but not function properly.  I think you need to update the bundle exec rails g active_scaffold:install to work with latest rails stack, which has rearranged the asset folder.  Here are the steps I followed to build the test application on my mac.

Hi Dennis

Yes, you are right about rails 6, that's why I haven't released 3.6.0 yet. I
started to work on supporting webpack, but finally I decided I will postpone
webpack support to later version. But generator needs to work with 3.6.0,
setting up javascript pipeline, then I will release 3.6.0.

About this issue, I have done that, but I think you may forget some steps,
maybe you did them but you didn't put them in the email:

Add this to layouts/application.html.erb:
<%= javascript_include_tag 'application', 'data-turbolinks-track': 'reload' %>

Add application.js to precompile in config/initializers/assets.rb:
Rails.application.config.assets.precompile += %w( application.js )

Without those steps, links are not working, although I can see 2 search action
links if I add these lines to controller:
conf.actions << :field_search
conf.field_search.link.parameters = {:kind => :field_search}

Once I add javascript_include_tag and application.js to assets precompile, I
can get action links working, including both search action links.

It may be useful to change label for one search action link, for example:
conf.field_search.link.label = 'Field Search'

Also, I don't know what gem is "jquery", but you don't need it, jquery-rails
gem has jquery.js and jquery_ujs.js, although I think it should work with
jquery-rails gem and rails-ujs.js instead of jquery_ujs.js

And I think it could work if you add only jquery and active_scaffold to app/
assets/javascripts/application.js, and leave javascript_pack_tag in your
layout, which should already include rails-ujs and turbolinks.

Sergio,

Thanks so much.  All is working with my test app.

Can I help you to better document ActiveScaffold?  It is a great tool, but as complex as it is, needs many of the the examples from this google group to be organized into the API docs.

Thanks again for all you do!

[Sergio Cambra]

Dennis

That would be great, every help is needed. My long term plans are move API doc
from wiki to rdoc, which means adding rdoc comments to methods, at least for
files in config and data_structures directories. And also in some methods of
actions and helper modules, explaining methods which may be overrided in app
controller or helper.

Of course, it would be great if some examples with tips and explanations can
be added to wiki.

Regards

[Dennis Bulgatz]

HI Sergio,

I will work on the wiki pages to add some examples and maybe the Mac setup for Active scaffold in this thread.  I have authored more than a few sites using AS, so have a lot of examples.

[Sergio Cambra]

Hi Dennis

Thanks for your contribution, it's really helpful.

Regards

[Dennis Bulgatz]

Glad to help.  Not sure if you want to change anything about how the wiki pages are structured?  I develop on a mac, but the applications run under RHEL.  Is windows the most common dev env?  If so, be great if someone that is a windows users wrote a similar guide.  One of my colleagues used the linux subsystem with windows for dev, no idea how common this is.  Ran pretty slow.

[Sergio Cambra]

I only knew one person who tried to develop with ruby in Windows and found many issues, finally he changed to Linux, I think it's possible, but I don't think is very common, although it was years ago, maybe it's easier now.
