I am using Leopard and just got rails installed. However, when i do a
sample application to test everything, my scaffold project does not show
any of the information from the database. below is my migrate file. So
basically after doing rake db:migrate and creating the scaffold, nothing
shows up when i test this. the page loads, but all it allows me to do
is create new but will not show me any controls to enter information.
class CreateProducts < ActiveRecord::Migration
def self.up
create_table :products do |t|
t.column :title, :string
t.column :description, :text
t.column :image_url, :string
end
end
def self.down
drop_table :products
end
end

I am on a Win machine and installed RoR with Instant Rails. Now I do all of the development in a rails apps directory but in order for my changes to be seen I have to copy everything over to the www directory. I have been wanting to post about this for a while but just haven''t gotten around to it and I have just gotten use to it. Hope this helps. Good luck. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

It also used to fill in the fields for the list (now index) method and show method. Not sure why the change. You obviously have a nice new version of Rails and a slightly out of date book.

You don''t need to write any of that code as long as you add the scaffold directive to your controller or use the scaffold generator. If you generated a blank controller, make sure you add scaffold :somemodel inside the controller class. This is not needed if you used the scaffold generator. -Bill On Nov 4, 2007, at 2:00 PM, Kyle Gwinnup wrote:> > Steve Ross wrote: >> On Nov 4, 2007, at 1:06 PM, Kyle Gwinnup wrote: >> >>> >>> drop_table :products >>> end >>> end >>> -- >> >> Well, you do have to write a *little* code :) >> >> <% form_for(@product) do |f| %> >> <p><%= f.text_field :title %></p> >> <p><%= f.text_area :description %></p> >> <p><%= f.text_field :image_url %></p> >> <% end -%> >> >> Or something like that.

It definitely still does (thats what it''s for?) and I just tested it.

There has been talk about removing dynamic scaffolding, and I''m not sure what the status is. The generator is still around, but as you observed (and I did a couple of days ago), the behavior has changed. Side note: For stuff that''s not public-facing, it''s surprising how long scaffolded code can last :) I have an app that''s been in production since before Rails 1.0 and there''s still some scaffold code in it. Happy client because he got a great deal on the code I didn''t write. Here''s a search that may give you some insight into what Rails Core is saying about scaffolding: http://www.nabble.com/forum/Search.jtp? forum=13832&local=y&query=scaffold On Nov 4, 2007, at 2:27 PM, Kyle Gwinnup wrote:> > Steve Ross wrote: >> On Nov 4, 2007, at 2:00 PM, Kyle Gwinnup wrote: >> >>>> Well, you do have to write a *little* code :) >>> So does scaffold not do this for you?

No, it is current for rails 1.2 and as long as you are running the 1.2 version, scaffold will create all of the fields except for relationships. It will do this for list, create, edit, etc. What happens when you call that controller''s new action: http://localhost:3000/products/new I assume your controller is ProductsController and looks like this: class ProductsController < ApplicationController scafflod :product end I just tested this on rails 1.2.5 / ruby 1.8.6 and it works as it always has. If it''s still not working, is there anything in your logs? Can you create a product from the console? -Bill On Nov 4, 2007, at 2:33 PM, Kyle Gwinnup wrote:> > William Pratt wrote: >> You don''t need to write any of that code as long as you add the >> scaffold directive to your controller or use the scaffold generator. >> If you generated a blank controller, make sure you add >> scaffold :somemodel inside the controller class.

Ok, maybe this is a rails 2.0 thing, but I am running 1.2.6 (I said 1.2.5 earlier), and it still works fine for me? If you are running rails 2.0 edge, you should downgrade to 1.2.6 if you want to follow along with that book which is currently the latest book. -Bill On Nov 4, 2007, at 2:39 PM, s.ross wrote:> dev.rubyonrails.org/changeset/7429--~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
