Use Carrierwave with Active Admin

Question

Did any of you guys manage to get Active Admin with Carrierwave working?

When I installed AA everything worked fine but the image file upload fields were plain text fields so added following:

ActiveAdmin.register Club do
  form do |f|
    f.inputs "Club" do
      f.input :league
      f.input :name
      f.input :image, :as => :file
      f.input :approved
    end
    f.buttons
  end
end

Now it's displayed as a file upload field and I can select a file but after I submitted the form nothing changed. There's still no image and the image field is empty. Anyone knows what else to do to get it working?

Answer 1

Finally found the problem.

form do |f|

needs to become:

form(:html => { :multipart => true }) do |f|

I still don't know why console is not working but well, at least I can upload new images now :) Thanks a lot for the help, bruno077!

Yes, it works without an issue, remember to set the attr_accessible if you haven't. According to your configuration, you should have the following code in your model:

#app/models/club.rb

class Club < ActiveRecord::Base
  attr_accessible (previous list), :image #If exists
  mount_uploader :image, ImageUploader
end

And of course you should have generated the Image uploader with

rails generate uploader image

Edit: you can follow Ryan's railscast if you have any issue. That's what I did for my ActiveAdmin app with Carrierwave
