Unscoping default scope

[pmichna]

I have a model with a default scope:
default_scope -> { where(active: true) }
Can I unscope the model in Administrate, so the I can see all the records in the admin panel?

I had a look at this yesterday and it doesn't seem possible (yet).

The list of resources is provided by Administrate::Search that isn't too easy to expose. I had a look at a solution I'm not yet happy with on this branch, so I'm going to continue to look into it.

@nickcharlton The solution looks good to me. What about it are you unhappy with ? Seems the simplest way to give complete control.

My use case is that I only want to display a specific scope.

Curiously, the controller generator suggests that it's possible, but it's clear from looking at the code that this can't work:

    # To customize the behavior of this controller,
    # simply overwrite any of the RESTful actions. For example:
    #
    # def index
    #   super
    #   @resources = Role.
    #     page(params[:page]).
    #     per(10)
    # end

@nickcharlton Your patch seems to work fine for me - just tested my code against it with no issues at all. +1 for merging. :)

I've added this PR which resolves the issue for me and (I think) resolves the issue that @nickcharlton found with his WIP implementation: #910

I'm using it for the time being so I can at least rebase against the latest thoughtbot master and stay up-to-date on features but would love to see it merged so I'm happy to make any changes that would help make that happen.

Closing as we merged #910 then #914.
