config.parent_controller setting does not work

[grillermo]

On my project the config/initializers/rails_admin.rb file added

config.parent_controller = '::MyBaseController'

And rails admin ignores it, if i change directly the lib/rails_admin/config.rb file and hardcode this

@parent_controller = '::MyBaseController

It works, my conclusion is that this mechanism

class ApplicationController < Config.parent_controller.constantize

Doesnt work.
I tested it using a before_action filter and i could confirm that doing

self.class.superclass

Does not return the right class when using the config approach.

Had a similar problem when trying to set config.parent_controller = '::ApplicationController' to keep the old behaviour.
Could fix it by moving the config.parent_controller setting above my config.audit_with call. Try moving it to the very beginning of the config block. I guess some config calls instantiate the controller so that the setting later takes no effect anymore.

Will try that, thank you
