I would like to customize the field search, but AS ignores
field_searches specified unless they are the name of a column in the
database.
For example, the code below renders lots of search options for Users.
class UsersController < ApplicationController
skip_before_filter :owner_required
active_scaffold do |config|
config.actions = [:field_search, :show, :create, :list, :nested]
end
end
But I want to add a custom search where I can specify the sql (could
be using the rails find api) with one or more input params. First
thing I tried was adding a "virtual" search attribute "my_column"
config.columns.add :my_column
config.field_search.columns = :my_column
AS now renders nothing. Okay.. maybe it does not know how to build
the search, but a default text box would be okay for now. Tried added
a help method
def user_my_column_search_column(record, input_name)
select :record, :item_type, options_for_select(Item.item_types),
{:include_blank => as_('- select -')}, input_name
end
Any suggestion on how to get AS to render a search form that includes
"my column".
Then, in the controller, would like to define
def self.condition_for_my_column_column(column, value, like_pattern)
value.length > 0 ? ["status IN (#{value.collect{|t|
"'#{t}'"}.join(",")})"] : nil
end
Actually, would like to be able to have a much more complex search,
with a join across several tables, but let's start with something
simple.
Thanks.
