I have a very wide table (around 50 columns with more looming every day) and I currently only show a very smal subset in the list view. I use AS to display data to end users, not for an admin interface. My user community is clambering for access to different views on the data; lists that show different subsets of columns based on tasks.
I've had a lot of success using a before_filter to filter the rows returned, but column filtering seems really hard right in AS. In this post, http://groups.google.com/group/activescaffold/browse_thread/thread/bb6f7f1c35834d49/6933e0463a73785d?lnk=gst&q=columns#6933e0463a73785d, there's a snippet of code that can recursively exclude columns. I supposed this code could be used to also add them, but it seems like an awful lot of overhead. active_scaffold_config.list.columns.each { |col| active_scaffold_config.list.columns.exclude col.name } I can see my app ending up with 10 or so views, and it would be much simpler (and DRYer I think) to just explicitly set the columns necessary for each of these views using a case statement. Has anyone succeeded in doing this? Is there already a simple feature for doing this that I'm overlooking?
