In rails_admin, how do I turn off the "add new" and "edit" button in relation sub-foms?

Question

I want to stop people adding or editing Page Layout from inside a sub form. Basically I want to turn off the buttons in the below screenshot:

enter image description here

Am I able to do this, or do I have to turn off adding and editing on the entire Page Layout model globally?

Probably a bit late but you can use inline_add and inline_edit.

Example:

  field :profile do
    inline_add false
    inline_edit false
  end

This is very nice. Is there any way to do it for all fields? – nroose Feb 03 '14 at 18:26

Maybe not the cleanest solution... anyway here's what i did. Created an alternative partial copying the original one and stripping off the links related to "add new" and "edit". Then I configured the field like this.

  field :operator_user do
    partial "form_filtering_select_no-relations"
    def selected_id
      @bindings[:object]['operator_user_id']
    end
  end

The partial expects a method called "selected_id" to be there and return the id used to build the relation.

Supposing you are talking about authorizing a specific type of user to "see" the buttons you can go with the cancan gem.

Yeah I found cancan, but I thought it might be overkill. I just want to turn off those particular buttons for all users. – koosa Oct 04 '12 at 16:16
For all users? why don't you just remove the buttons then? – code-gijoe Oct 04 '12 at 16:18
Yep that's what I'm asking how to do! – koosa Oct 04 '12 at 19:16
Go the that page view and remove the buttons. Also remove the routes so no one can call the actions. – code-gijoe Oct 05 '12 at 19:34
any other solutions except cancan? – JNN May 24 '13 at 09:17
