Question

I am trying to get gmaps4rails with Active Admin in Rails Rails 3.2.8.

I have been trying to follow this tutorial but have needed to adapt it as I am using mysql in my stack.

I am not getting any errors (which might help!) but I am also not getting any maps.

My model (location) has the attributes longitude:float, langitude:float and gmaps:boolean

I have added the following to the locations model, which is different to the tutorial:

def location
    [:latitude, :longitude]
end

and this to the active admin locations model, also different from the tutorial:

f.input :location do |o|
           gmaps("markers" => {data: o.to_gmaps4rails}, "map_options" =>  { auto_zoom: false, zoom: 15 })
     end

As far as I can tell (by scanning through the rendered source files) the CSS and JavaScript seem to be loading.

The whole app is available here

Other that those changes, I think I have stuck to the tutorial.

I was just working on the same problem and seem to have come up with a solution. If you create a new partial and call it in your active admin model like form :partial = 'partial_name'

Then in the partial using the

<%= semantic_form_for [:admin, @model_name] do |f| %>
  <%= f.input #all your other inputs %>

  <%= f.inputs "Location" do %>
    <%= gmaps("markers" => {data: @model_name.to_gmaps4rails}) %>
    <%= yield :scripts %>
    <%= f.input :latitude %>
    <%= f.input :longtude %>
  <% end %>

<% end %>'

You will still need to include the gmaps4rails sprockets in your active admin css and js files.
