using an arb partial in show removes layout

[tobyhede]

Trying to clean up a rather large show action and when using an arb view, the page renders, but without any of the layout elements or sidebars - just the contents of the partial are rendered.

show do
  render "show" #_show.html.arb
end

Using a haml or erb view produces the expected output.

Have you found any way around this, wanting to replace the index block to just render a partial as well.

[macfanatic]

I haven't figured out a way around this issue, but I was able to render an index-like page from a member_action as follows:

ActiveAdmin controller with member_action declared for a new route/view
admin/jobs.rb

ActiveAdmin.register Job do

    # Listing out the invoices (material hauling logs & subcontractor logs in one place basically)
    member_action :invoices, :method => :get do
        params[:order] ||= "invoice_desc"
        @job = Job.find( params[:id] )
        @invoices = Kaminari.paginate_array( @job.subcontractor_logs | @job.material_hauling_logs ) .page(params[:page]) .per( active_admin_application.default_per_page )
        @page_title = @job.name + ": PO's and Invoices"
    end

end

views/app/jobs/invoices.html.arb

drh_paginated_collection @invoices, :entry_name => "Invoice" do
    column "DRH PO#", :drh_po
    column "Invoice #", :invoice
    column "Invoice Paid", :sortable => :invoice_paid do |log| 
        status_tag log.invoice_paid.blank? ? "Unpaid" : "Paid", log.invoice_paid.blank? ? :error : :ok
    end 
    column "Actions" do |res|
        actions = []
        if res.class == MaterialHaulingLog
            actions << link_to( "Edit", edit_app_job_material_hauling_log_path( res ) )
            actions << link_to( "View", app_job_material_hauling_log_path( res ) )
        else
            actions << link_to( "Edit", edit_app_job_subcontractor_log_path( res ) )
            actions << link_to( "View", app_job_subcontractor_log_path( res ) )
        end
        actions.join(" ").html_safe
    end
end

View helper I created to help create these views
app/admin/active_admin/view_helpers.rb

module ActiveAdmin::ViewHelpers


  # Gives me the basic :index renderer, without scopes or the filter sidebar
  def drh_paginated_collection(collection, opts = {}, &block)
    div :class => "paginated_collection" do

        div :class => "pagination_information" do

            entry_name = opts[:entry_name]
            Rails.logger.info "collection: " + collection.to_a.to_s

             if collection.num_pages < 2
              case collection.size
              when 0; I18n.t('active_admin.pagination.empty', :model => entry_name.pluralize).html_safe
              when 1; I18n.t('active_admin.pagination.one', :model => entry_name).html_safe
              else;   I18n.t('active_admin.pagination.one_page', :model => entry_name.pluralize, :n => collection.size).html_safe
              end
            else
              offset = collection.current_page * active_admin_application.default_per_page
              total  = collection.total_count
              I18n.t('active_admin.pagination.multiple', :model => entry_name.pluralize, :from => (offset - active_admin_application.default_per_page + 1), :to => offset > total ? total : offset, :total => total).html_safe
            end

        end


        div :class => "paginated_collection_contents" do

            div :class => 'index_content' do

                table_for( collection, { :class => "index_table", :sortable => true }, &block)

            end

        end

        div :id => "index_footer" do
            paginate collection
        end

    end
  end

end

macfanactic, how exactly did you included your ViewHelpers patch?
My own here runs but breaks layout - for some reason it's result is not being embedded in it's ment-to-be parent but rendered right away at the top of a page.

[macfanatic]

That code was placed in app/admin/active_admin/view_helpers.rb, the designated file for ActiveAdmin view helpers. Your problem doesn't sound like you're using view helpers incorrectly, just that you're having the problem that everyone else does in this thread.

What action are you trying to render? How many views & partials? Is there a form involved?

[idrozd]

Ok, i have view helper:

app/admin/arb_partials/payloads.rb

module ActiveAdmin::ViewHelpers
  def payloads_small_table payloads
    table_for payloads do
      column('Флайт') {|pl| pl.new_record? ? pl.name : (link_to pl.name, (admin_payload_path pl)) }
      column :targeting
    end
  end
end

And i plug it in like this:

app/admin/campaigns.rb

ActiveAdmin.register Campaign do
...
  controller do
    before_filter do
      require_relative 'arb_partials/payloads'
    end
  end
...

I'm rendering custom action; it's arb template calls for view helper like yours

app/view/admin/campaigns/select_sheet.html.arb

panel 'Blah'
...
  payloads_small_table @campaign.payloads
...
end

And it renders but for some reason - before the whole layout, so it takes wrong position in output buffer.

Eventually i ended up with some voodoo involving instance_exec and procs for partials

app/admin/arb_partials/payloads.rb

module ActiveAdmin::ViewHelpers

  def payloads_small_table
    proc do |payloads|
      table_for payloads do
        column('Флайт') {|pl| pl.new_record? ? pl.name : (link_to pl.name, (admin_payload_path pl)) }
        column :targeting
      end
    end
  end

end

app/view/admin/campaigns/select_sheet.html.arb

panel 'Blah'
...
  instance_exec @campaign.payloads, &payloads_small_table
...
end
