activeadmin, remove empty message

Question

In ActiveAdmin, when there are no items for the model (in my example User), it shows a default 'There are no Users yet. Create one'.

1. How can I remove this message?
2. Is there the possibility of customizinig it on per-page basis, that is having a particular message for a particular ActiveAdmin page?

Answer 1

This is a MonkeyPatch:

Create a new file in lib folder and copy:

module ActiveAdmin
  module Views
    # Build a Blank Slate
    class BlankSlate < ActiveAdmin::Component
      builder_method :blank_slate

      def default_class_name
        'blank_slate_container'
      end

      def build(content)
        super(span(content.html_safe, class: "blank_slate"))
      end

    end
  end
end

Customize the content variable in build method to change the default message.

1. For now you cannot do it by ActiveAdmin settings. Look issues in repository.
2. You can render any html or erb.html in your resources
