I''m an experienced PHP programmer (don''t know Ruby yet), and I''m playing around with Symfony (PHP MVC framework similar to Rails) and I found myself asking if there''s really any reason to use it over Rails. From what I''ve seen just about every feature in Rails is superior except one very important thing - Symfony''s admin generator. This is a major part of the type of applications I develop and would save me the most time by far. It''s like an advanced scaffold generator but it uses YAML config files to configure how the admin interface would look, and it supports filters, custom fields, image uploads, one-to-many and many-to-many and several other things automatically. If I could find an equivalent to this in Rails, I think that''s all I would need to switch. Rails scaffolds is much too basic for an admin interface, and I''ve looked into ajaxscaffold and dry scaffold but they don''t seem quite as powerful as the generator in symfony. Is there anything like this in Rails? Or would it really be that hard to create an admin interface in Rails considering how easy it is supposed to be? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

I took a look at streamlined but it looks like it''s fairly new and still in alpha. Is this the only thing of its kind? Kind of surprised to see nothing like this already in rails -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
