Full Integration with Rails 2.2 [done]

• In the new version the emails and activations are translated with rails locale. [done]
• In the next verision also javascripts works with the integrated localization of rails. [done]

Short example:

# /config/locale/backend/en.yml

en:
  lipsiadmin:
    javascripts:
      buttons:
        add: "Add"
        edit: "Edit"
        remove: "Delete"

So in a javascript you can use:

alert(Backend.locale.buttons.add);

New javascripts features

• Now the main js app is called Backend. [done]
• Two fully tested templated (see app/views/backend/base/index). [done]
• In this new version there is a better organization of backend.js now is more clean and more more fast. [done]
• Now we have two beautiful templates, standard and slate. [done]
• Now we have one top side menu (like toolbar). [done]
• Now there is a beautifull helper for load html or load and execute js [done]
• Cookie status of columns/grids, now you can personalize columns width, position etc. [done]
• No more proxy memory for manage search and pagination, now are server side. [done]
• Better generation of standard grids, editable grids, tree see this example. [done]
• Caching and History support for columns and next-back buttons. [done]
• Now you can reuse everywhere your forms in any page. [done]

Examples:

// some examples
Backend.app.load('/my_grid.js')
Backend.app.load('/my_page')
Backend.app.backTo = '/backend/mygrid'
Backend.app.back

Grid Generations:

# in app/controllers/accounts_controller.rb
    params[:limit] ||= 50
    @column_store = column_store_for Account do |cm|
      cm.add :name,         "Name",           :sortable => true
      cm.add :surname,      "Surname",        :sortable => true
      cm.add :email,        "Email",          :sortable => true
      cm.add :created_at,   "Created at",     :sortable => true, :renderer => :datetime, :align => :right
      cm.add :updated_at,   "Updated at",     :sortable => true, :renderer => :datetime, :align => :right
    end

    respond_to do |format|
      format.js 
      format.json do
        render :json => @column_store.store_data(params)
      end
    end

# in app/views/accounts/index.rjs

page.grid do |grid|
  grid.id "grid-accounts"
  grid.title "List all Accounts"
  grid.base_path "/backend/accounts"
  grid.forgery_protection_token request_forgery_protection_token
  grid.authenticity_token form_authenticity_token
  grid.tbar  :default
  grid.store do |store|
    store.url "/backend/accounts.json"
    store.fields @column_store.store_fields
  end
  grid.columns do |columns|
    columns.fields @column_store.column_fields
  end
  grid.bbar  :store => grid.get_store, :pageSize => params[:limit]
end

Example of reusing accounts form in another form:

# in app/views/dossiers/_form.html.haml

-tab "Accounts", :style => "padding:10px" do
  %table
    %tr
      %td{:style=>"width:100px"} 
        %b Customer:
      %td
        %span{:id => :account_name}=@dossier.account ? @dossier.account.full_name : "None"
        =hidden_field :dossier, :account_id
        =open_window "/backend/accounts.js", :id, :name, :dossier_account_id, :account_name

Plugins

• Helpers for automatize sorting of image or files
• Helpers for automatize file_field etc…
• In the next version we use a new integrated system for storing images and files (like paperclip). [done]

In any model you can do:

  has_many_attachments              :attachments, :dependent => :destroy
  has_one_attachment                   :image
  attachment_styles_for                 :attachments, :normal, "128x128!"
  validates_attachment_presence_for     :attachments
  validates_attachment_size_for         :attachments, :greater_than => 10.megabytes
  validates_attachment_content_type_for :attachments, "image/png"
  ...

And in your view simply:

  =fields_for "yourmodel[attachments_attributes][]", @dossier.attachments.build do |attachment|
    Attach your file:
    =attachment.file_field :file
