I am creating a site which just displays comments and person_detail. I am thinking: * Create 2 models: comments & personal_detail corresponding to 2 tables. * 2 controllers: comments_controller & personal_detail_controller. * Create a controller "home", which invokes actions provided by comments_controller & personal_detail_controller, then display info in the home.rhtml. I wonder how scaffolding can simplify the tasks. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

I think it would be simpler to stick with the design with a controller for each model (plus a HomeController if you need it). It''s much easier to go with the CRUD method names created automatically by the scaffolding in each controller, than to have one overall controller that handles lots of methods that deal with different models.

How can I call actions from other controllers in a overall controller? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Gary Liang wrote:> Someone may ask this question. How can I call actions from other > controllers in a overall controller?I''m not completely sure what you''re asking... Perhaps inheritance? Basically, can a controller call methods from another controller? The short answer is yes. The most logical way would be to use inheritance (I say logical because this is Ruby and you can technically call almost anything from anywhere). Imagine you have an admin controller with several children controllers. E.g... class AdminController < ApplicationController def admin_method ... end end class UsersController < AdminController def users_method ... admin_method ... end end I''d advise you think through your problem space and ask yourself if you really need to do such a thing. Perhaps some of the responsibility should be assigned to your models? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

I think redirect_to will trasfer you to another controller, then execute the list action, then stay in loans.rhtml, perhaps? If that is the case, it may not be what I want. The idea is to stay at the same page, but it has ability to access vary actions from other controllers.

e.g.
* ruby script/generate scaffolding Users
* Create a controller ''Admin''
* class Users
def self.list
list
end
def list
...generate by scaffolding...
end
end
* class Admin
def list
Users.list
end
end
* Inside the Admin.rhtml
@admin = Admin.new
@admin.list
I don''t have a good feeling about this code.......

It will be easier to discuss solutions if you give us some more details about how you want your app to behave (rather than picking a particular syntax and asking if that syntax can do this or that aspect of what you want).
