Lipsiadmin is a new revolutionary admin for your projects.

Is developped by http://www.lipsiasoft.com that use it from 1 year in production enviroments.

Lipsiadmin is based on Ext Js 2.0. framework (with prototype adapter) and is ready for Rails 2.0.

This admin is for newbie developper but also for experts, is not entirely written in javascript because the aim of developper wose build in a agile way web/site apps so we use extjs in a new intelligent way a mixin of “old” html and new ajax functions, for example ext manage the layout of page, grids, tree and errors, but form are in html code.

Installation

Lipsiadmin is very simple to install use.

MacBook:rails DAddYE$ rails demoadmin
MacBook:rails DAddYE$ cd demoadmin/
MacBook:demoadmin DAddYE$ script/plugin install http://svn.lipsiasoft.com/lipsiadmin
MacBook:demoadmin DAddYE$ script/generate lipsiadmin
MacBook:demoadmin DAddYE$ mate db/migrate/001_create_accounts.rb

Edit the migrations adding your first account data.
If you don’t do that you can’t get the email with the required activation code.

MacBook:demoadmin DAddYE$ mate config/config.yml  

Remeber to edit also config.yml with your mail addres and your url of your site.

MacBook:demoadmin DAddYE$ rake db:create
MacBook:demoadmin DAddYE$ rake db:migrate
MacBook:demoadmin DAddYE$ script/server 

Yes!! That’s all your admin is ready to use!

For a correct functions of the grid you need to edit application.rb and comment the line:

  # protect_from_forgery # :secret => '8ac508d8e61e18257211693a77f1623f'

How to use

Now for example we want to create a new model for our articles.

MacBook:demoadmin DAddYE$ script/generate model article
MacBook:demoadmin DAddYE$ mate db/migrate/004_create_articles.rb

Edit the new migration like that:

class CreateArticles < ActiveRecord::Migration
  def self.up
    create_table :articles do |t|
      t.string      :title, :tags
      t.text        :description, :description_short
      t.timestamps
    end
  end

  def self.down
    drop_table :articles
  end
end

MacBook:demoadmin DAddYE$ script/generate attachment article image

This will create

class AddAttachmentsImageToArtilce < ActiveRecord::Migration
  def self.up
    add_column :articles, :image_file_name, :string
    add_column :articles, :image_content_type, :string
    add_column :articles, :image_file_size, :integer
  end

  def self.down
    remove_column :articles, :image_file_name
    remove_column :articles, :image_content_type
    remove_column :articles, :image_file_size
  end
end

Now edit your model

class Article < ActiveRecord::Base
  has_attached_file :image, :styles => { :thumb => "128x128" }
  validates_attachment_presence :image
end

MacBook:demoadmin DAddYE$ rake db:migrate
MacBook:demoadmin DAddYE$ mate config/routes.rb 

Now we simply ad a new restfull resource:

 map.namespace(:backend, :path_prefix => :admin) do |backend|
    backend.resources :accounts, :collection => { :list => :any }
    backend.resources :articles, :collection => { :list => :any } # Added a the new Articles route
    backend.resources :sessions
  end

Now we can generate the new admin pages with support for images.

MacBook:demoadmin DAddYE$ script/generate lipsiadmin_page article -i image
