Integration

ActiveScaffold by itself comes alone so you decide what to use or how to integrate into your solution, allowing to be flexible and avoid dependency problems. Following that approach, there are many gems you can install and ActiveScaffold will integrate them very well out of the box. Note that some of them need some config. So read on:

Data handling

• active scaffold export Export to CSV plugin
• dragonfly Images & files support
• paperclip Images & files support
• carrierwave Images & files support
• file_column Images & files support
• active scaffold batch Mass data handling
• active scaffold duplicate Clone record gem for Activescaffold
• paper_trail Track versions and changes

User Interface

• Record Select Fancy select box alternative, with ajax autocomplete. Very suitable for long datasets

• active scaffold signaturepad Adds UI for signature on touch devices, using jquery.signaturepad
• bitfields Show check boxes for integer bitfields, grouped by bitfield.
• tiny mce Formatted Text Editor

User & role management / Security

As global user & management integration notes, you need to know that Active Scaffold uses “current_user” method to refer to interacting user in controllers, methods, helpers and views. Devise use the same convention, so you don’t have to do anything there. But in case you use another name, say account or just user, remember to set current_user_method in application_controller.rb:

ActiveScaffold.set_defaults do |config|
  config.security.current_user_method = :current_login
end

• CanCan
  With CanCan you can control most of AS behavior and appearance per user and/or role. Add cancan as instructed

• Declarative Authorization

• Devise
