Question

I’ve got a User resource that I’m using ActiveAdmin to display. Is it possible to add two instances of that same User resource so that I could customize the columns differently in each one? If so, will running the generator for that resource clobber the existing files that were already created?

Thanks.

I think you can rename the resource which will allow you to have a duplicate resource tab:

“By default, any references to the resource (menu, routes, buttons, etc) in the interface will use the name of the class. You can rename the resource by using the :as option.”

Example:

ActiveAdmin.register Post, :as => "Article"

The resource will then be available as /admin/articles.
