Make activeadmin-mongoid play nice with ActiveRecord Resources

[profmaad]

I am developing a Rails application utilising both ActiveRecord and Mongoid.
I use ActiveAdmin and activeadmin-mongoid.

Since activeadmin-mongoid directly monkeypatches ActiveAdmin, it destroys functionality for ActiveRecord-based resources.

This patch first checks whether the resource is Mongoid-based, and if not just calls the original ActiveAdmin implementation.

It adds the necessity to add

before_filter { @skip_sidebar = true }

to your mongoid-based resources.

@profmaad the changes to the resource file break the active-mongoid. With my application I can now only see active record resources in active admin, while mongoid resources fail.

@kushkella Could you be a bit more specific? What is breaking for you? Any error messages?

I am running a production system with this and both Mongoid and ActiveRecord resources work fine, as long as you add

before_filter { @skip_sidebar = true }

to your Mongoid-based resources.

Thanks, i will try this.

@profmaad I did a bunch of merges including some support for the sidebar can you try to rebase the changes on the master branch?

On a side note this approach (keeping original functionality active) is something I like very much since the the™ path that can lead to a merge into active_admin itself.

I finally upgraded to ActiveAdmin 0.6 and activeadmin-mongoid 0.3.0 today and got around to rebasing onto 0.3.0.

The changes required to make it (seemingly) work with a mixed mongoid and activerecord setup were pretty small.
The pull request should be updated to reflect these changes.

thanks! seems good for a 0.3.1 release :)
