I want to add search functionality for a couple of my models on the Active Admin Dashboard page. How do I do that?
For a regular model I can do that using "filter", but how do I do that on Dashboard view. What are the methods available within section and ActiveAdmin::Dashboards.build?
Adding how I did it (following advice from Sjors), so that someone else may find it useful:
in dashboards.rb:
section "Search User", :priority => 4 do
div do
render "search_user"
end
end
in views/admin/dashboard/_search_user.html.erb (Copied HTML of the user filter using firebug):
<div class="panel_contents">
<form method="get" id="q_search" class="filter_form" action="/admin/users" accept-charset="UTF-8">
<div class="filter_form_field filter_string">
<label for="q_email" class=" label">Search Email:</label>
<input type="text" name="q[email_contains]" id="q_email" />
<input type="submit" value="Go" name="commit" id="q_submit" />
</div>
</form>
</div>

I am trying to submit a form in a bootstrap framework and cannot get past the validation, even with correct data.
I think there might be an error with this syntax,
<form name=form1 method=post action=signupck.php onsubmit='return validate(this)'><input type=hidden name=todo value=post>
then the form fields... which all display correctly - so no problems there - in the style:
<div class="row">
<div class="col-xs-2">
<label for="fname">Forename</label>
<input type="text" class="form-control" id="fname" placeholder="Forename"><br></br>
</div>
<div class="col-xs-2">
<label for="sname">Surname</label>
<input type="text" class="form-control" id="sname" placeholder="Surname">
</div>
</div>
and then,
<input type=submit value=Signup>
<input type="reset" class="btn btn-default" value="Reset">
The form on submission displays signupck.php, signalling validation messages when is should be submitted ok. I have got this working outside the bootstrap, but when I put this inside the template, in the form above, I get the problems.
Any help would be most appreciated.
I have a fairly simple form created in a partial view and loading the form on a jquery dialog. The view is tightly bound to a model. When the user clicks on the submit button with out entering any inputs, I need to show the validation messages.
<div>
<form method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" id="ssimForm" action="Home/ProcessUploadedFile"
onsubmit="return false;">
<div>
<h3>
Select the file to be uploaded :</h3>
<span>
<input type="file" name="UploadFileName" id="UploadFileName" /></span>
</div>
<div>
<h3>
Select the date range :</h3>
<span class="uslabel">From Date(MM/dd/yyyy): </span>
<input class="usdate" id="usfromdate" name="StartDate" type="date" />
<span class="uslabel">To Date(MM/dd/yyyy): </span>
<input class="usdate" id="ustodate" name="EndDate" type="date" />
</div>
<div>
<br />
<input type="submit" id="submitButton" name="submitButton" value="Process File" />
</div>
#Html.ValidationSummary()
<div class="message-success">
<span>#ViewBag.Confirmation</span>
</div>
<div class="message-error">
<span>#ViewBag.Error</span>
</div>
</form>
</div>
Now comes the actual problem. when I submit the form I am able to see the validationSummary object populated with the messages, but they are not getting rendered on the screen.
I am able to see the messages if I replace the content of the dialog with the response from the jquery ajax call, that fetches the entire view from the server side. I do not want to take this approach as I beleive this is not the correct way to return validation summary in MVC.
Am I missing something? Any help is appreciated.
I don't know why you don't have the #using (Html.BeginForm()) { } block.
Here is my blog post for a quick and easy way to set up Validation Summary + Unobtrusive Validation for MVC3+.

I'm using ActiveAdmin to deploy my project. And I had some problem when I was developing.
I had some database table, e.g: "Worker", "Product", "Task". I wanted to create a page to search on those table with many situation.
I created a simple page:
ActiveAdmin.register_page "my page" do
content do
panel "Search details" do
panel "By Name" do
render :partial => "form"
end
end
end
end
And this is _form.html.erb
<form action="" method="post">
<input type="text" value="" name="taskid">Task ID</input>
<input type="text" value="" name="productid">Product ID</input>
<input type="text" value="" name="workerid">Worker ID</input>
<input type="submit" value="Submit"/>
</form>
But I don't know how can I call a controller from a form? (which controller was defined)
And How can I render or show the result to the content area of "my_page" in Activeadmin from a controller?
Anyone may help me? plz!
Design the form such that it uses the existing active admin filters and displays the results accordingly. You may want to look at the HTML of your filter forms (using firebug), in order to get the required params, and the submit action. Here is the partial which I use to search my User model (constructed from user filters):
<div class="panel_contents">
<form method="get" id="q_search" class="filter_form" action="/admin/users" accept-charset="UTF-8">
<div class="filter_form_field filter_string">
<label for="q_email" class=" label">Search User Email</label><br/>
<input type="text" name="q[email_contains]" id="q_email" />
<input type="submit" value="Go" name="commit" id="q_submit" />
</div>
</form>
</div>
and displays the result in the existing format. You don't need to design new views for that.
Dazed and confused here... The field in question is a boolean, and I want the UI to be a checkbox (or a yes/no or on/off jQuery slider). Each time I try to add in this checkbox input, I end up getting a
Microsoft JScript runtime error: DOM Exception: HIERARCHY_REQUEST_ERR (3)
error.
Here's the HTML+Razor
<div data-role="fieldcontain">
<fieldset data-role="controlgroup">
<legend>End Game:</legend>
#Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.HandicapSession.WinByTwo, new { #type="checkbox" })
<label for="WinByTwo">Win By Two?</label>
</fieldset>
</div>
Here's the generated HTML:
<div data-role="fieldcontain">
<fieldset data-role="controlgroup">
<legend>End Game:</legend>
<input data-val="true" data-val-required="The WinByTwo field is required." id="HandicapSession_WinByTwo" name="HandicapSession.WinByTwo" type="checkbox" value="False" />
<label for="WinByTwo">Win By Two?</label>
</fieldset>
</div>
Apparently this error occurs when there are conflicting or overlapping id's as jQuery Mobile creates its checkbox widget
$.widget( "mobile.checkboxradio", $.mobile.widget, { ...etc...
But how do I use the HTML and/or razor to make a simple checkbox work in jQuery Mobile?
If the problem with jQuery Mobile really is duplicate names for the HTML tags, then you'll have to render your own input type=checkbox tag in HTML, as the ASP.NET MVC Html.CheckBoxFor helper method will render an input type=hidden tag with a duplicate name value. See this post for a discussion.
The hidden form tag is there because if you submit an unchecked checkbox to the server, the form value for that field isn't included. So a hidden input tag is included with value=false so that if the checkbox is unchecked, the value false is still submitted. The model binding process in MVC will filter out the duplicate form values for you, but if you're having a client-side problem with the duplicate name attributes, you'll have to render your own checkbox and label in HTML, then handle the fact that no value will be submitted for the HandicapSession.WinByTwo property when the box is unchecked. If no other property for HandicapSession is submitted, then that whole object will be null.
So, you can manually create the checkbox input and still load the checked and value attributes from your model, as desired, but you can run into model binding problems where the value for WinByTwo will still be false even when the box is checked.
Note also that the for attribute on your label doesn't match the ID of the checkbox in your sample. You need the full HandicapSession_WinByTwo.
The following manually creates the input tags:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://code.jquery.com/mobile/1.0a4.1/jquery.mobile-1.0a4.1.min.css" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://code.jquery.com/mobile/1.0a4.1/jquery.mobile-1.0a4.1.min.js"></script>
<div data-role="page">
<div data-role="content">
<div data-role="fieldcontain">
<fieldset data-role="controlgroup">
<legend>End Game:</legend>
<input type="checkbox" id="HandicapSession_WinByTwo" name="HandicapSession.WinByTwo" #(Model.HandicapSession.WinByTwo ? "checked=checked" : "") value="#(Model.HandicapSession.WinByTwo.ToString().ToLower())" />
<label for="HandicapSession_WinByTwo">Win By Two?</label>
</fieldset>
</div>
</div>
</div>
The HTML output is as follows for a checked checkbox on load:
<div data-role="page">
<div data-role="content">
<div data-role="fieldcontain">
<fieldset data-role="controlgroup">
<legend>End Game:</legend>
<input type="checkbox" id="HandicapSession_WinByTwo" name="HandicapSession.WinByTwo" checked=checked value="true" />
<label for="HandicapSession_WinByTwo">Win By Two?</label>
</fieldset>
</div>
</div>
</div>
The best would be just to use the MVC helper methods, so I'm not sure if you'd tried the following. The default Html.CheckBoxFor and Html.LabelFor helper methods work with jQuery Mobile 1.0a4.1 or 1.1.0 just fine. The following works for me:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://code.jquery.com/mobile/1.0a4.1/jquery.mobile-1.0a4.1.min.css" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://code.jquery.com/mobile/1.0a4.1/jquery.mobile-1.0a4.1.min.js"></script>
<div data-role="page">
<div data-role="content">
#using (Html.BeginForm())
{
<div data-role="fieldcontain">
<fieldset data-role="controlgroup">
<legend>End Game:</legend>
#Html.CheckBoxFor(m => m.HandicapSession.WinByTwo)
#Html.LabelFor(m => m.HandicapSession.WinByTwo, "Win By Two?")
<input type="submit" id="SubmitForm" value="submit" />
</fieldset>
</div>
}
</div>
</div>
This produces the HTML output:
<div data-role="page">
<div data-role="content">
<form action="/Mobile/Mobile" method="post">
<div data-role="fieldcontain">
<fieldset data-role="controlgroup">
<legend>End Game:</legend>
<input checked="checked" data-val="true" data-val-required="The WinByTwo field is required." id="HandicapSession_WinByTwo" name="HandicapSession.WinByTwo" type="checkbox" value="true" />
<input name="HandicapSession.WinByTwo" type="hidden" value="false" />
<label for="HandicapSession_WinByTwo">Win By Two?</label>
<input type="submit" id="SubmitForm" value="submit" />
</fieldset>
</div>
</form>
</div>
</div>
Fix might be pretty simple.
Choice 1: Go scorched earth and turn off Ajax based navigation. This will ensure that unique IDs stay unique. This will ensure that you never encounter this issue again. Only downside is that you lose the pretty little transitions from page to page (someone call the whambulance). You can do this by setting up a global configuration script...
script src="jquery.js"
script src="custom-scripting.js"
script src="jquery-mobile.js"
inside that you'll override the ajax settings to disable them...
$(document).bind("mobileinit", function(){
$.mobile.ajaxEnabled = false;
});
Choice 2: Call pages that are going to require this uniqueness with a link that has an attribute of rel='external' or target='_black' which will accomplish the same thing without disabling all ajax based navigation. If you are reaching the page as a results of a form post, you can use data-ajax='false' on the form tag to accomplish a clean load.
<% using (Html.BeginForm("AddToCart", "Cart")) { %>
<%= Html.Hidden("ProductID", pr.ProductID) %>
<%= Html.Hidden("returnUrl", ViewContext.HttpContext.Request.Url.PathAndQuery) %>
<input type="submit" value="+ Add to cart" />
<% } %>
Currently I am using
# using (Html.BeginForm("AddToCart", "Cart")) {
${Html.Hidden("ProductID", pr.ProductID)}
${Html.Hidden("returnUrl", ViewContext.HttpContext.Request.Url.PathAndQuery)}
<input type="submit" value="+ Add to cart" />
#}
Is this the right way? any better approach?
There is a much better way now with the latest version of Spark (v1.5) using the new Bindings feature. You can read my blog post on it here which has an example of Html Form for you.
Basically your html form code in your Spark view ends up using the MVC Html Form Helper properly, but looking awesome like this:
<Form class="form-default">
<ValidationSummary Message="Login was unsuccessful.
Please correct the errors and try again." ExcludePropertyErrors="true" />
<div class="editor-label">
<Label For="UserName" />
</div>
<div class="editor-field">
<TextBox For="UserName" /><ValidationMessage For="UserName"/>
</div>
<div class="editor-label">
<Label For="Password" />
</div>
<div class="editor-field">
<Password For="Password" /><ValidationMessage For="Password" />
</div>
<div class="editor-label">
<CheckBox For="RememberMe" />
<Label For="RememberMe" />
</div>
<input type="submit" value="Log On" />
</Form>
You can also see a code sample project that uses it in the Spark code base here.
Hope that helps,

I assume you are referring to how the form tags are handled. You can do this:
#Html.BeginForm("AddToCart", "Cart");
...
#Html.EndForm();
