Worth noting here that LipsiADMIN is still undergoing bug fixes and occasional development.

However, I want to point out that this project is essentially made obsolete by another project that I am working on (with Nathan and others) called the Padrino Framework

Padrino is definately the place to look in the future for a modular extension to Sinatra.

Note that Padrino contains everything from LipsiADMIN but is far more powerful and larger in scope.

Padrino is still early in development but is worth taking a look at.

In this screen cast we demonstrate some basic concepts how to use LipsiADMIN as a scaffold for the backend of your rails app.

In particular we focus on:

• Start a new project and attach LipsiADMIN
• Add new models and scaffold them
• Add some relations for explain how we can easily make associations with LipsiADMIN
• Create a editable grid
• Create and Manage roles and permission

In this screencast we use Rails 2.3.5, ExtJS 3.1, Osx Snow Leopard, TextMate.

The most important thing is that this 5.1.1 version include ExtJS 3.1+

The second important thing is that now LipsiADMIN grids save in the state of the search so useful when we do refresh.

Our team is working in a new version of LipsiADMIN that include it. With new exciting features!!

Here the change log of ExtJS 3.1

• Internet Explorer Memory Improvements
• Optimized Layouts
• EventManager Refactor
• Improved Flexibility
• New TreeGrid Extension
• Locking Grid Columns
• Grid Column Grouping Plugin

• This release only fix a problem with title helpers when a string contains dot chars.
