Save time and headaches, and create a more easily maintainable set of pages, with ActiveScaffold. ActiveScaffold handles all your CRUD (create, read, update, delete) user interface needs, leaving you more time to focus on more challenging (and interesting!) problems.

Overview

ActiveScaffold provides a quick and powerful user interfaces for CRUD (create, read, update, delete) operations for Rails applications. It offers additonal features including searching, pagination & layout control.

Branch Details

This branch (rails-3.2) on Github supports Rails 3.1 & 3.2, and is the current source of the 3.2.x line of gems. The master branch has dropped support for Rails 3.1

Quick Start

To get started with a new Rails project

Added to Gemfile

gem 'active_scaffold'

Run the following commands

bundle install
bundle exec rake db:create
rails g active_scaffold User name:string
bundle exec rake db:migrate

Add the following line to app/assets/javascripts/application.js

//= require active_scaffold

Add the following line to /app/assets/stylesheets/application.css

*= require active_scaffold

Run the app and visit localhost:3000/teams

Configuration

See Wiki for instructions on customising ActiveScaffold and to find the full API details.

Compatability Issues

jQuery 1.9 deprecates some methods that this branch still uses (NB: jQuery 1.9 is supported in the master branch). You'll therefore need to ensure you use jQuery 1.8. You can do this by fixing version in your Gemfile:

gem 'jquery-rails', '2.1.4'

active_scaffold_batch plugin gem (versions 3.2.x) require the master branch. Therefore if you wish to try using active_scaffold_batch with this branch, you'll need to fork the project and edit the runtime dependency in the gempsec file (use at your own discretion)
