Boolean filter not working

[8vius]

I'm trying to filter by a boolean column on my Users table and I've tried making it a select box and check box, neither method works

filter :admin_created
filter :admin_created, collection: [["Yes", true], ["No", false]]
filter :admin_created, as: :select, collection: [["Yes", true], ["No", false]]
filter :admin_created, as: :check_boxes, collection: [["Yes", true], ["No", false]]

Neither of the above filter properly:

Are you able to reproduce this on the demo app? https://github.com/activeadmin/demo.activeadmin.info

Is admin_created the name of the column? What SQL is generated in the Rails log when the filter is applied?

[8vius]

@zorab47 yeah admin created is the name of the column. @joshmn let me try and replicate in the demo.

Is the column a boolean column? (i.e. what does User.columns_hash[:admin_created].type return?)

If you want to force the boolean filter rendering you have to add the as: :boolean option to the filter declaration.

[8vius]

@wspurgin yes the column is a boolean value.

@8vius Have you also tried forcing the boolean representation?

filter :admin_created, as: :boolean

The default filter should have produced the typical "Yes/No" drop down like the one for the Feature filter on the Product resource page of the demo. If forcing the as: :boolean still doesn't work, here are my next two questions:

1. What version of AA are you using?
2. Do you have an custom CSS or styling in your app (at all).

From what I can see in the photo you posted, it looks like you're using an older version of AA (just based on the styling), but without knowing more information, I'm not sure we can help you much more than we have already.

I’m going to close this since you haven’t responded. Please feel free to update this issue with additional information so it can be reconsidered.

Force using as: :boolean is worked.
