I really like what you guys have done here.  However, I am finding a little bit of difficulty with the docs which don't go into great detail about how to customize the form aside from simply proividing the generator for the form.  I started digging around in the generated form with page.attributes in order to attempt to filter out a specific attribute from the form that was erroring, but it was erroring in such a way that path.attributes could not be called, which makes it hard to filter out certain attributes in the form.  Our system has rather complex demands so I dont expect everything to work out of the box, but I was hoping it would be easier to customize the form.\r\n\r\nOne thing active admin did have going for it, was that its syntax for specifying custom forms was really sharp and easy to use (although active admin honestly has its own plethora of problems which I wont go into :) )\r\n\r\nhttp://activeadmin.info/docs/5-forms.html\r\n\r\nAnother thing I liked about ActiveAdmin was that it was easy to build a seperate (perhaps more robust) authentication path for the administrative users.  How hard would it be to achieve this using administrate?\r\n\r\nThanks for the great work, this is really impressive!"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/thoughtbot/administrate/issues/comments/212093658","html_url":"https://github.com/thoughtbot/administrate/issues/547#issuecomment-212093658","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/thoughtbot/administrate/issues/547","id":212093658,"user":{"login":"BenMorganIO","id":3117356,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/3117356?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/BenMorganIO","html_url":"https://github.com/BenMorganIO","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/BenMorganIO/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/BenMorganIO/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/BenMorganIO/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/BenMorganIO/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/BenMorganIO/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/BenMorganIO/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/BenMorganIO/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/BenMorganIO/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/BenMorganIO/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2016-04-19T19:48:17Z","updated_at":"2016-04-19T19:48:17Z","body":"@kyprifog thanks for giving administrate a shot! I'm totally interested in the forms issue you're experiencing.\r\n\r\nYou mention that you were \"digging around in the generated form with page.attributes in order to attempt to filter out a specific attribute from the form that was erroring\". Its a bit of a run on sentence and I'm having a hard time grasping it. Can you please elaborate on this?\r\n\r\n What would you like to see in Administrate for custom forms? Perhaps I could get a PR ready :)"}}
