Customizing Active Admin Comments

Question

Active Admin has those handle comments that go automatically into your admin screens by typing "active_admin_comments"

What I want to do is to add some fields to their comments like a 'status' field. What's the best approach for doing this?

Thx

If you want to change defaults, probably the only way is to monkeypatch build_comment_form method of Comments class from active_admin_comments.rb

You can also make your own comments component by subclassing ActiveAdmin::Comments:: Views::Comments , overwriting build_comment_form method and using

builder_method :my_active_admin_comments_for

Just see mentioned active_admin_comments.rb for reference.
