Active Scaffold: config.link.inline = false is not working

Question

Using Rails 3.1.0, with Active Scaffold (from the git repo). My controllers have code that look like this:

active_scaffold :template do |config|
  config.create.link.inline = false
  config.actions = [:list, :search, :create, :delete]
  config.columns = [
     :name, 
     :description
    ]
  config.list.sorting = { :created_at => :desc }
end

Theoretically, this means that the "create new" link at the top of the active scaffold list should be rendered without a data-remote call, but it is still being rendered like that:

<a href="/admin/templates/new" class="new" data-remote="true" id="as_admin__templates-new--link">Create New</a>

We're also overriding _action_group.html.erb with the following, but I've deleted the file for testing and it has no effect. Here's the code in the override:

<% record ||= nil
   start_level_0_tag ||= ''
   end_level_0_tag ||= ''%>
<% action_links.traverse(controller, traverse_options) do |parent, link, options| -%>
  <% if (options[:node] == :finished_traversing) -%>
    <%= "</ul>#{(options[:level] == 0 ? "</div>#{end_level_0_tag}": '</li>')}".html_safe %>
  <% elsif (options[:node] == :start_traversing) -%>
        <% html_classes = []
           html_classes << 'hover_click' if hover_via_click? %>
  <% if options[:level] == 0 %>
           <% html_classes << 'action_group' %>
     <%= "#{start_level_0_tag}<div class=\"#{html_classes.join(' ')}\" #{"onclick=\"\"" if hover_via_click?}> #{content_tag(:div, as_(parent.name), :class => (parent.name.to_s).downcase)}<ul>".html_safe %>
  <% else %>
           <% html_classes << 'top' if options[:first_action] %>
     <%= "<li #{"class=\"#{html_classes.join(' ')}\"" unless html_classes.empty?} #{"onclick=\"\"" if hover_via_click?}>#{content_tag(:div, as_(parent.name), :class => (parent.name.to_s).downcase)}<ul>".html_safe %>
  <% end %>
  <% else -%>
    <% if options[:level] == 0 %>
      <%= "#{start_level_0_tag}#{render_group_action_link(link, url_options, options, record)}#{end_level_0_tag}".html_safe %>
    <% else %>
      <%= content_tag('li', render_group_action_link(link, url_options, options, record), options[:first_action] ? {:class => 'top'}: {}) %>
    <% end %>
  <% end -%>
<% end -%>

This is happening everywhere that I try to set the config.create.link.inline. Is there some overriding setting somewhere that I need to look for?

Answer 1

Do:

config.create.link.page = true

Relevant bits to reach this conclusion in helpers/view_helpers.rb and data_structures/action_link.rb.

Because there are 3 mutually exclusive properties (page, inline, popup), setting one to false does not affect the other (analyze the control flow), only setting one to true sets the other two to false.
