Tabbed interface and custom field type for globalize translations for Rails_admin

RailsAdminGlobalizeField

RailsAdminGlobalizeField adds tabbed interface to rails_admin for multilingual models (using globalize gem)

It adds custom field type that you can use for globalize translations association.

This gem uses Translation models generated by globalize, so you don't need to add any additional model to your app (as some older globalize3 gists suggested).

Installation

Add and configure globalize gem first.

  gem 'globalize', '~> 4.0'

Then add this gem and run bundle

  gem 'rails_admin_globalize_field'

Usage

Don't forget to set I18n.available_locale config, because it uses that to determine what tabs to show

Add translation models to config.included_models in initializers/rails_admin.rb:

  config.included_models = ['Model','Model::Translation']

Add accepts_nested_attributes_for for translations to your translated model.

  class Model < ActiveRecord::Base
    translates :title, :desc
    accepts_nested_attributes_for :translations, allow_destroy: true
  end

Add configuration to your translated model and associated translation model. :locale field is always required.

  config.model 'Post' do
    configure :translations, :globalize_tabs
  end

  config.model 'Model::Translation' do
    visible false
    configure :locale, :hidden do
      help ''
    end
    include_fields :locale, :title, :desc
  end

Add this stylesheet into app/assets/stylesheets/rails_admin/theming.scss:

  /*
   *= require rails_admin/ra.globalize_tabs
  */

If you need to add validation to the translation class, you can add it on translation_class inside translated model:

  translation_class.validates :title, presence: true

Known issues

If you need to use null: false options on any column in translations table, you'll have to use this globalize fork for now. See: globalize/globalize#325
