And the flash is just a standard hash that you can fill with any keys you like. flash[:array] = [1, 2, 3] flash[:model] = BlogComment.find(123) flash[:error_message] = ''Comment not saved due to an ugly error!'' If thats not what you were askign about to asking your question again as it is a bit unclear. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
ok maybe it was a bit unclear.
When I create a custom template / def I can specify somthing like this
in my controller
flash[''notice''] = "Client successfully removed"
and then use this in my rhtml, to show the message
<% if flash[''notice''] %>
<div id="good" class="message"><%=
flash[''notice'']%></div>
<% end %>
When I havnt got any custom def''s in my controller and am just using
the
standard scaffold templates.
ie ''scaffold :clients'' in my controller
Does it return any successful messages when an operation like create or
destroy has worked correctly, and how can I get hold of these?

Scaffold is meant to be a quick and dirty start, but not something you finish with. Run this: ruby script/generate scaffold Clients Client This actually creates all the scaffold code and rhtml templates so you can edit them. Then you can go into the create and update methods and get the hooks you need. Making the base scaffold work for anything even slightly complicated will only end in frustration. Use it as a srpingboard to modify and update. But directly answering your question, the only response scaffold gives about success is the flash. And if the data is good, it does a redirect, and if its bad it does a render. Scaffold wasn;t really meant for anything more complicted than that. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
Just as a heads-up...> ruby script/generate scaffold Clients ClientThe above will generate a model named clients.rb. That will probably give you problems down the road since the Rails naming conventions assume that a model''s name will be the singular of the table name on which it is based. I imagine that was just a typo, but it''s caught me before so I thought I''d point it out before you got too far down the road. Best regards, Bill
