Rails - Jul 2005 - How do I change/extend scafold behaviour w/o changing the library?

Hi, there!

I think Rails scaffold generator concept is wonderfull! I find that taking 
time to write new scaffold generators at the start of an app, saves me a lot 
of time. Alas, for my current project, I don''t have acces s to the gems
libraries. How can I extend the scaffold generator behaviour from within the 
app itself? Is components the solution? Any examples, tutorials, etc out 
there that would help me?

Thanks,
-Larry

you can copy it into ~/.rails/generators and start modifying it yourself. 

I have many different generators living in this directory for all
sorts of reoccurring tasks.
Works great

The best documentation I found on generators is here:
http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/show/UnderstandingGenerators

There is a section that elaborates on what Tobias said.
