AjaxScaffold 3.1.3 Released
Posted by Richard White Fri, 14 Jul 2006 03:19:00 GMT
AjaxScaffold has been deprecated in favor of ActiveScaffold
This is mainly a bug fix release in preparation for a couple bigger moves in the near future. If you are interested in the nitty gritty of what has changed check the CHANGELOG in the AjaxScaffold download.
Even bigger news is that an AjaxScaffold based Rails Plugin (or perhaps Rails Engine) is in the works and should be released in the near future. Thanks and praise go to Scott Rutherford for his lovely <a
href=”http://blog.caronsoftware.com/articles/2006/07/02/ajax-scaffold”>writeup on ASG and for agreeing to work together (although he has the bulk of it done already) on the plugin. Aside from focusing on getting a plugin and the generator in sync we’ll also be focusing on making nesting of scaffolds easier and adding search functionality. Wish us luck.
Yippee for bug fixes! I’m very keen on the future plugin, and your thoughts on an integrated search mechanism might look like. Mine are always dorky.
A wonderful start to the test suite :)
After my sarcastic tone :) I thought I’d be more useful and actually help with the test suite. There’s a google groups thread and 16bugs patch ready for next release.
Maybe I’m looking in the wrong places, but I can’t find the CHANGELOG file anywhere.
BTW, I love ASG. You rock!
@Nic Thanks, You’ll see a post about that shortly.
@Mason I goofed and left it out of the distro, it’ll be in 3.1.4.
Hi!
That’s exactly what I was thinking right now: the search support, and nesting of scaffolds (for belongs_to relationships).
I’m having this “special” develpment (maybe it is very common… duh)..... anyway, I have a couple of tables (customers, and auditors), and I have a filed “auditor_id” in the customers table, this a customer belongs_to an auditor…. but the thing is: how do I assosiate the auditor to the customer in an easy way….. I think that the most “elegant” way would be a “search” field, and a dynamic label, and when one type the name or code for the auditor, the name of the first match appear in the label, and internally it updates the auditor_id to the id of the matching object in the auditors table. The thing is: how to do it?, and where to integrate it in the ajax_scaffold? (guess: _form.rhtml , and just hack my way in).
I’ll post this to a forum, but just wanted to write it somewhere…. and if I get answer… well, even better!
Thanks for creating this great piece of code!
Ildefonso.
@Ildefonso Camargo: If you could post that over on the forums, it would be a lot easier to read, thanks.
