I''m fairly new to RoR so go easy on me. I''ve worked through the depot application and now I''m just trying to do some hacking so I can understand it all a little more. First question: I want to add a column to my database schema. Do I have to reinstantiate the scaffold ( $> ruby script/generate scaffold Admin ) in order to have the fields show up on the site? I''m trying to add an address column. Second question: In an authenticate method, I want to view only admins who have not been activated. This is not part of the depot application. I created a scaffold of Admin which has a column in the admins table that is either set to 1 or 0. 1 means active, 0 means inactive. I want to be able to use the authorize.rhtml to view only admins who have active = 0. Where do I do that? here is the code for reference (it''s the list.rhtml code from a scaffold generation): <% for admin in @admins %> <tr> <% for column in Admin.content_columns %> <td><%=h admin.send(column.name) %></td> <% end %> <td><%= link_to ''Show'', :action => ''show'', :id => admin %></td> <td><%= link_to ''Edit'', :action => ''edit'', :id => admin %></td> <td><%= link_to ''Destroy'', { :action => ''destroy'', :id => admin }, :confirm => ''Are you sure?'', :post => true %></td> </tr> <% end %> </table> <%= link_to ''Previous page'', { :page => @admin_pages.current.previous } if @admin_pages.current.previous %> <%= link_to ''Next page'', { :page => @admin_pages.current.next } if @admin_pages.current.next %> <br /> <%= link_to ''New admin'', :action => ''new'' %> --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
