The ActiveScaffold list view has a search form that is loaded via ajax when a user click the search link. I’d prefer to have the form show by default when a user opens a list page.
I’ve figured out a way to trigger the ajax call when the page loads, but I’m wondering if there’s a way to get ActiveScaffold to render the form automatically. Is there a template or a method I can override? I’ve had a look through the code but there’s nothing obvious, at least to me.
Update:
srboisvert’s answer inspired me to have a better look.
The trick is to use Template overrides to refactor the following: list.rhtml, _list_header.rhtml, _search.rhtml so that the search form partial renders inline.
There is a way to get it rendered automatically:
active_scaffold :model do |config|
config.list.always_show_search = true
end
