Lipsiadmin: Rails 2.0 Ext Admin
Lipsiadmin is a framework that generates Ext 2.0 views on top of your Rails 2.0 application, a compelling duo indeed.
You can strap into your migrations to add menus such as:
RUBY:
-
# I will create also my menu
menu = Menu.create(:name => "Articles", :admin => true, :position => 1)
# And my
menu.menuitems.create(:name => "New Article", :url => "/admin/articles/new",
:position => 1, :style => "icon-no-group")
menu.menuitems.create(:name => "List Articles", :url => "/admin/articles/list",
:position => 1, :style => "icon-show-all")
If you stay in REST land it all just starts to work. Very Naked Objects-esque.
Check out the live demo (u: info@lipsiasoft.com, p: admin).
Speaking of Ext, the team has been expanded its offerings.

The button is labeled “Delte” :)
Not only that. Look at the “Delete Confirmation Window”, it says: “Do you really want to permanently 3?”
I just opened up the Interface Demo. I find it really slow. The navigation on the left is interactive, but when you klick on a link you loose all your preferenaces. It does not use any AJAX? Everything generates a page reload! I would be OK with that if it would not be here on Ajaxian.com :)
@Polysign: The reason for the post is because it uses Ext 2.0, one of the top JS/Ajax libs available
the use of Ext in this admin is very poor… This is not an Ajax interface at all. This is a good idea, but you need more xp with ExtJS ;)
Hm. The list search results always seem to be one keystroke behind your typing. I tried to leave a bug report and saw just one issue tracked in the system. I’m afraid there’s not a lot of people using or contributing to this framework at the moment.
@dubnium
What is the problem with issue tracker?
This framework is very new, so at the moment there are few contributions, but I hope in future…

Hi Dion!
I´m starting to use Lipsiadmin with Associations and doesn´t work. The problem is the same that reproduced by Gabrio.
Probabily I´m doing something terrible. :)
Well, I have do this:
Ruby script/generate model state
Ruby script/generate model city
create_states.rb
class CreateStates 2, :null => false
t.column :name, :string, :limit =>50, :null => false
end
end
def self.down
drop_table :states
end
end
create_cities.rb
class CreateCities 50, :null => false
t.integer :state_id, :null => false,
:options => “CONSTRAINT fk_cit_sta REFERENCES state(id)”
end
end
def self.down
drop_table :cities
end
end
In my model, I put this:
class City < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :state
end
class State < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :city
end
When I tried to insert a new city, only the name appear for me and if I save, the application frozen.
Did you have the same problem?
Thanks
