You can use stylesheets for this thing.

The show action might be in controller say 'Project', hence you might be having a file in stylesheets with the name of your controller.

Now enclose your form in show.html.erb in a div, and give it a unique id ,say 'disable_input', that you wont be giving to any element in any page.

Now disable all input fields in you css under this div. You can write it like this..

disable_input input{
# whatever you want to do
}

Hence no need to code.
