CHANGELOG.rdoc

• Add tabbed_by to group of columns in forms. The columns in the group must be collection associations, with a common column or association, used to partition them in different tabs.

• Fix tableless in rails >= 7.1

• Stop using cow_proxy for thread safety:

  • Added ProxyColumn and require using active_scaffold_config.columns.override(:column_name) to change a column per request

  • Action links can’t be changed, added or removed, add all links and use ignore_method to control when they are displayed

  • Require using active_scaffold_config.override_columns to exclude or add columns

1.2RC1¶ ↑

FEATURES¶ ↑

• Added view helpers (active_scaffold_javascripts, active_scaffold_stylesheets, active_scaffold_ie_stylesheets) to help with asset cacheing (Alexander Semyonov)

• Works with Rails 2.1 (2.0 / 1.2.x will continue to be supported by version 1.1)

FIXES¶ ↑

• Javascript compatibility with FF3 / Safari 3.1 (Mike Dalessio) see groups.google.com/group/activescaffold/browse_thread/thread/d37afa3f2ac687f2/b34ebf62d767bee3

1.1.0¶ ↑

FEATURES¶ ↑

• ‘render :super’ now accepts a :locals option

• parameter-based conditions now support arrays of values (e.g. users?name[]=bob&name=fred becomes “name IN (‘bob’, ‘fred’)”)

FIXES¶ ↑

• ‘render :super’ now works from active_scaffold_overrides without endlessly looping

• ‘render :super’ no longer assumes that the immediate caller was the override template file

• ‘render :super’ works better with windows file names (e.g. c:/…)

• reload_if_empty() javascript now uses GET

• inplace_edit now uses POST instead of GET

• adding time and date fields to ignore list for determining whether subform row is empty. previously only datetime was ignored.

• closed a potential internet explorer security issue in dhtml_history.js library

1.1.0 RC1¶ ↑

FEATURES¶ ↑

LIST¶ ↑

• row class: new helper method (list_row_class) gets called for each record in the list and returns a CSS class.

• automatically link to the :show action of singular associations. this is similar to the nested scaffolds for plural associations.

• column.list_ui: good for when you want to render multiple columns the same way.

• • built-in list interface options:

• • • for inplace edits - checkbox

• Support :joins_for_collection in column_calculation

• inplace_edit option on list columns. currently works for text boxes and booleans

CREATE/UPDATE¶ ↑

• file uploads - largely taken care of by file_column bridge.

• • automatically detects if FileColumn is installed. If so, uses it, and sets the form_ui for file columns to be file upload fields

• • sets multipart? on config.create and config.update if file_columns are used on the target model

• • Posts through iframe to give ajax-style file uploads

• • Image columns are recognized and previewed as such

• • Ability to delete a file

• form_ui

• • form interface options are now supported through helper method named active_scaffold_input_#{form_ui}. if you want a different form interface than activescaffold normally provides, you may configure the form_ui for that column to use one of these methods. you can easily define your own, too.

• • built-in form interface options:

• • • for associations - singular_association, plural_association, select, record_select

• • • others - select, checkbox, country, password, textarea, usa_state, virtual, boolean

• • subforms respect form_ui settings. but if form_ui is empty, it will be set to :select to disable subform nesting.

• boolean columns: when the database column allows nil, we now add a third option to the dropdown so you don’t have to pick true or false.

• new :params option for a column lets you specify additional parameters to accept when the given column is on the form. this is for when a column needs to submit multiple values to work.

• improved support for associations in parameters. for simply selecting/deselecting associations, activescaffold will now recognize ‘:user => 5’ or ‘:users => [1, 2, 5]’.

• Supply a unique id from active_scaffold_input_options for form fields.

• added after_update_save controller override method

EMBEDDING¶ ↑

• ‘render :active_scaffold’ now accepts a :conditions option, which is a weaker but more flexible variation of :constraints

• active_scaffold_includes now accepts a frontend name. this is necessary so you can include the proper assets even if active_scaffold isn’t configured on the current controller (it’s embedded).

• polymorphic constraints are now supported, assuming params.to_s is the proper content for the polymorphic _type field.

• Beefing up the constraint system so it can handle has_one/belongs_to. Specifically, it can now disassociate a previous relationship before setting a new one. For example, Bear has_one Den. If creating a new Den, constrained to a certain Bear, the constraints system will now disassociate any previous Den from the Bear before associating the new one.

NESTING¶ ↑

• :through associations may now be nested

• nested#shallow_delete

SEARCH¶ ↑

• fieldsearch module handles booleans better - provides third option so you don’t have to search on a boolean column

• In field search lock_version is the only magic column. May want to search by :id or date fields.

GENERAL¶ ↑

• use #human_name for the column label when possible.

• merge_conditions now supports hash conditions (and should forever support every conditions style that ActiveRecord supports)

• action links may now remove an action link with #clear_link

• action links have a new :controller option, so you don’t have to sneak it into :params anymore

• dhtml history may now be disabled

• authorized_for? in ActiveRecordPermissions now calls respond_to? only as much as needed

• removing an assert_valid_keys? call in active_record_permissions#authorized_for?. it just wasn’t worth the CPU time.

• render :super is now extension-agnostic. ex: ‘render :super` in list.html.erb will properly find list.rhtml as the “parent” template.

• Auto-bridge loading mechanism. Bridges integrated into core.

• inherited_view_paths: ability to specify other folders to look for if missing view occurs

FIXES¶ ↑

LIST¶ ↑

• the calculation row now updates on edit/create/destroy.

• list now returns to page 1 if the current page has no records.

• list will now try to reload the scaffold on a previous page if you delete the last entry on the current page.

• if there were no end-of-line record actions, then any column actions would not use ajax. this was because the loading indicator was missing, which messed up the action link javascript.

• theme == :default no longer attempts to use Rico.Corner

• column_empty? now treats any values equal to list.empty_field_text as empty, too.

• better :method handling for action links.

• the ‘&nbsp;’ fix for ie6 was failing for value types that weren’t nil and didn’t respond to empty?

• if someone sets singular columns to link to the ‘nested’ action, the link will now render with the appropriate id parameter.

• do not propagate params through action links that link to other controllers. closes issue #447.

• reworked rendering of pagination links for IE

CREATE/UPDATE¶ ↑

• constraints are now applied to a record during the #new action, in case any custom form rendering depends on the constrained column

• the default options_for_association_conditions now returns nil for :through associations

• will not update a record attribute if the value hasn’t changed. this is a workaround for an activerecord bug with has_one associations.

• attributes_hash_is_empty? didn’t handle multi-parameter attribute names like ‘created_at(5i)’, which resulted in extra records being created from subforms.

• Hide hidden column header labels - like lock_version - in sub-forms.

• configuring url_for to not escape ampersands for the add_new_url in association footers (the ‘create another’ button’s url)

• attribute_params.rb#attributes_hash_is_empty now checks defaults by converting them to strings to match the parameter values.

NESTING¶ ↑

• no longer trying to nest a polymorphic association (there’s no consistent model to list)

• fixed :conditions generation for nested/embedded scaffolds - was causing a bind variable mismatch.

SEARCH¶ ↑

• search/livesearch should no longer choke on virtual columns

• the search/live_search forms will now ignore params when generating the submit url

GENERAL¶ ↑

• no longer blow up on data strings with unintentional % characters. as_() was sprintf’ing too frequently.

• link_to no longer blows up on controller symbols

• activescaffold no longer loses information on columns - ‘config.columns.add’, ‘config.columns = […]’, and ‘config.columns.exclude’ all now affect the inheritability of a column by the other modules (list, create, update, etc.), but all columns remain in config.columns. this also makes _id columns behave better.

• dhtml history no longer saves null:null:null history bookmark.

• if there aren’t any columns to search on, then activescaffold no longer creates an empty WHERE clause

• render :update was failing in some cases because activescaffold wasn’t expecting blocks to the render call.

• quoting the scaffold id for report_500_response()

• adding :update_column => :post to the RESTful routing. closes issue #448.

MISC¶ ↑

• reorganized the helpers and extensions

• ui_type is now only an alias for form_ui

• improvements to exception messages

• when initializing in production mode, activescaffold now recovers gracefully if it can’t copy asset files

• RESTful routing is now accomplished in a way that’ll let other add-ons extend the meaning of :active_scaffold => true.

• fixes for edge rails compatibility

• small improvements for localization accessibility

• minor string renaming (will affect localization tables, though)

• closed a few XSS holes
