I have a Feature page that belongs to the Car page. That is working exactly how I want to, except for one thing.

After creating, updating or destroying, I want the

Answer 1

Here is a solution that also works with create_another, using parent and child for model names.

This solution assumes that you show children as part of parent (e.g. via table_for) so you do not need child's index method.

In resource override controller's smart_resource_url and index methods:

  controller do
    def smart_resource_url
      if create_another?
        new_resource_url(create_another: params[:create_another])
      else
        parent_path(params[:parent_id])
      end
    end

    def index
      redirect_to parent_path(params[:parent_id])
    end
  end

Current answer is skipping validations. Some of the other answers are working but partially correct (incorrect use of super or manually validating resource).

Most updated "proper" way to redirect with AA after create and udpate:

controller do
  def create
    create! do |success,failure|
      success.html { redirect_to collection_path, notice: "#{resource.model_name.human} was successfully created." }
    end
  end
  def update
    update! do |success,failure|
      success.html { redirect_to collection_path, notice: "#{resource.model_name.human} was successfully updated." }
    end
  end
end

Here is the code for update action for your case. This code goes to the features.rb - admin file:

controller do
  def update
    update! do |format|
      format.html { redirect_to admin_cars_path }
    end
  end
end

This redirects to the cars index page. So you have the idea. Same for create and destroy actions.

Marcelo, I'm not sure I understand your question, but wouldn't putting this into the update, create and destroy actions in your controller do the trick?

 format.html { redirect_to redirect_address }

And make redirect_address whatever you need.

Answer 5

right code for updating without skipping validation

controller do
  def update
    super do |success,failure|
      success.html { redirect_to collection_path }
    end
  end
end

Answer 6

At the current moment accepted answer leads to ignoring validation errors.

This works for me with the latest versions of ActiveAdmin and Rails:

controller do

  def update
    update! do |format|
      format.html { redirect_to collection_path } if resource.valid?
    end
  end

  def create
    create! do |format|
      format.html { redirect_to collection_path } if resource.valid?
    end
  end

end
