I downloaded the code file from the book site, and was surprised to learn that the recipe files are incomplete, that is to say, they don''t run (after running the migration). View and layout files are missing, for example. I like to ''sample'' the end-product of a recipe first, and if I like it, then I ''ask'' for the recipe, i.e., delve into it. I''m trying to avoid spending time trying to get a recipe to work, only to discover in the end that it is not what I am looking for. Does anyone know where one can get complete and working versions of the Rails Recipes recipes? Thanks, gk -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
