Feature Request: Add Top Nav #271
Comments
@BenMorganIO A top nav is something that will probably vary a lot between different implementations of Administrate. I'm not sure how to add a top nav that will be generally useful. On gem "administrate", github: "thoughtbot/administrate" If you (and others) want to share your top navbar implementation here, that would be a good first step to see if we can add a generally-useful API for it. Cheers! |
I added a top navbar on my app by generating the layout and adding it to that layout. Here's the code in Slim, but it should be easily translated to ERb. I also added another manifest with some style coming from the main app. doctype html
html lang='en'
head
meta charset="utf-8"
meta name="ROBOTS" content="NOODP"
meta name="viewport" content="initial-scale=1"
title
= content_for(:title)
| |
= Rails.application.class.parent_name.titlecase
= stylesheet_link_tag "//fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Lato:300,400,900", media: "all"
= stylesheet_link_tag "administrate/application", media: "all"
= stylesheet_link_tag "admin", media: "all"
= csrf_meta_tags
body.administrate
= render "application/navbar" # The top nav
main.main
.sidebar
= render "sidebar"
.container
= content_for(:search)
.content
= render "flashes"
= yield
= render "javascript" Hope it helps. |
Great, thanks! I'll leave this open to gauge interest - if anyone else wants to see this, let us know here. |
I have 2 projects using administrate and the first thing you/user/client is thinking after doing what they need to do in administrate is "How do I get back to the main app". So basically overriding the view is the first thing I am going to do everytime. Solution? Something like what @BenMorganIO said. |
@minimul yep... The top nav of Spree 2 and 3 were views that I always edited in the beginning to add jobs and CMS admin links. |
I would like to see a top nav as well. |
For people like me that didn't know where to you the layouts, it needs to be inside: app/views/layouts/administrate/application.html.erb Enjoy |
I can see how it could make sense not to include a top nav bar by default. I don't really see how it could make sense not to include a sign-out link by default. |
or a "home" link back to the app |
Seems like such a basic thing but yet it's not there. I'm not going to hold my breath considering this was opened in 2015 and there hasn't been any actual updates on this front. I could never introduce this to my end-users without me spending the time to add custom navbar or even a Please add this, thank you! |
we still need it |
This would be great feature, everyone needs to get back to app! |
is this going to be added ? |

This solves half of #271 by implementing a link to take the user back to the main application. It's assumed that `root_url` without a namespace returns the main application's root.
I've opened #1376 as an attempt at solving half of this issue. Attempting to solve sign out is a different problem. Administrate does not make any assumptions about how you authenticate your application (see: https://github.com/thoughtbot/administrate/blob/7ed5b0792b7dc0b622de83256a22fcaa1d7db54b/lib/generators/administrate/install/templates/application_controller.rb.erb#L11:L13), so there's nothing we can assume about signing out.

I'm going to close this as #1376, which I hope to merge soon provides a partial solution to this. |

While I was cruising about, I noticed that I wanted to return to the app, but that link wasn't in the admin. Also, sometimes when you're running a job, you get a dashboard to look at jobs. There's no link anywhere to find them. You're also logged in (most of the time) and there's no conventional logout button.
What I'm asking:
Basically add a nav to the top right near the search to logout if
user_signed_in?
istrue
anddefined?
. And maybe a link tomain_app.root_url
as well.An API to add new links (such as giving users the ability to link to a CMS admin and/or a jobs dashboard possible) would be great. I know Solidus/Spree has this.
