I was wondering which generators (in particular view generators) you guys would
recommend to replace the built-in code from the scaffolding system? I''m
particularly interested in replacing the current views, as I would like for:
1) Foreign keys should get a dropdown list linked to the other table instead of
a textbox.
2) I''d like the columns to actually be listed on the page, instead of
iterating through them at run-time, as this makes it easier to customize them.
Any thoughts?

Well as the point of the scaffold generator is to get you a starting place when learning Rails, or doing something simple, I think it serves it''s job quite well. Scaffolding is never and was never meant to be a production site generation recipe. That said, I believe the AjaxScaffold has a bit more of the functionality you''re looking for, otherwise you are free to jump into the scaffold and make those changes yourself. However, I highly doubt such stuff will be added to the Rails core as it is superfluous.

I was just thinking that if I could push the scaffolding a bit further, it would
get rid of about half the stuff I do in every project (making dropdowns for
foreign keys, inferring relationships between models, using better markup).
Has anyone tried Custom_Scaffold? I was thinking I could customize it to do most
of what I need:

Have you tried out ActiveScaffold? http://activescaffold.com I''ve just started using it, and it looks very promising.
