similar to: Scaffolding plugins that support relationships. . .?

Like with simple table editing, there are also typical ways of how a user usually interacts with one-to-many or many-to-many relations. For example, one would show the fields of one row of table1 in the screen and below a line-by-line view of all associated entries in table2. Then, one could press an "Edit" button and add or delete rows from table2 to this entry of table1,

Hello list, For a school management application, I''ve got three tables: - people - subjects - roles (e.g. ''Teacher'', ''Student'', ''Tutor'', ''Lecturer'', ...) The HABTM relationship is 3-way, with the links being stored in the people_roles_subjects table. A person can have a role in a subject, but may have different

I read the Amy Hoy''s presentation on why scaffold is not a good thing for beginners.

Hi, Very new to RoR; have been a flash developer for four years or so. I have an urgent question -- in the list.rhtml file, I only want to display certain columns instead of dumping out all the columns in the database. Could someone shed some light this topic? Thanks!!!

Hello everyone, First off, I''m trying to generate a discussion here, not provoke an argument or get people upset. Please bear this in mind if/as you read on... To my mind, there''s 3 missing features from scaffolds that would make them a whole lot more useful. These are: - auto-generation of a drop-down list for inputting/updating has_many/belongs_to relationships between

It occurs to me as a missing feature that there''s no way to indicate a lookup table relationship (as opposed to other sorts of foreign key relationships) in Rails and that the scaffolding generator could recognise this lookup and render a drop-down list automagically for the lookup table. Say you have an Address and a State, and the State is a lookup table. In addresses you have

Hello all, I''m working on a couple of Rails projects at the moment and have noticed something that seems to go against the DRY principal. Why, when scaffolding, are individual CRUD rhtml files created instead of using one as a partial and having the others use that single partial? This especially applies to the list rhtml. I am about to get to the other operations and see how feasible

Hi, I have a self-referential has_many :through relationship setup to track relationships between users. Basically relationships are modeled as a join table with an extra column ''relation''. create table relationships ( user_id integer unsigned not null, friend_id integer unsigned not null, relation char(1) not null, ) --- relations --- f = friend r = request to

Hi *, I need to choose a platform for building the administrative part of http://www.zooppa.com Actually I like both streamlined and activescaffold, they seem both good. I''d like to ask to people using it which one is more likely to manage correctly things like validations, polymorphic associations, STI and in general complex data. If it''s also easy to modify it would

What does everyone on this list think about enhancing scaffolding somehow so that a "has_many" relationship will automatically drop the <select> box into the view to reference the "belongs_to" part of the view? I think scaffolding is great but I am always adding the <select> boxes to reference the parent association. Do you think this would be useful? just a

Hi, I would like to know if there is a way to maintain database reflection for the ''new'' and ''edit'' views whilst removing scaffolding? I''m trying to create a webapp that will be somewhat maintainable by colleagues (that aren''t necessarily web developers) through simple manipulation of db table fields. For example to add another field to the

Hello, i''m new in ruby rails framework. I have the following problem. I try to create a scaffold for a certain model of my db, but since ruby rails doesn''t assume the table name corectly (its incidents_reported ) i get errors .... Besides renaming the table :) is there a way to ''tell'' ruby rails the name of the table? I haven''t been able to find any

All, When I generate scaffolding on my model, it doesn''t display all the fields in the create and edit views. It populates the views with text/char and date types, but omits any integer fields. Is this normal behavior or a bug? Thanks! -Nick

Hi, first of all I will apologize in advance for my presumably noobish question, but I''m only starting to learn Rails and am a little confused with all the changes in 2.0.1. There are as good as no tutorials out yet and the 2 or 3 screencasts I''ve seen deal with the creation of both the app and the database. Now my problem is that I already have a database with a fair amount of

hi guys, I am having problems after scaffolding I created a db called "requests" and when i tried to execute the command script/generate scaffold request It gave me an error please make sure you have a database request created before you do this The db is obviously created; rails cant access it... so I tried to hack i copied my view model and controller files from my local deployment to

So what is "best practice" using scaffolding and then manipulating it to work for you or starting from scratch? Thanks. Seth -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: http://wrath.rubyonrails.org/pipermail/rails/attachments/20060213/0f16d567/attachment.html

When using ruby to generate scaffolding, is there an easy way to add features that would be useful for keeping track of has_many and belongs_to relations? For example, suppose I have the following: Users Sites Pages Modules Each user has many pages, each site has many pages, each page has many modules, and also the belongs_to relation holds in the opposite order. I''m using the

I am having trouble generating some of my scaffolding. I''m trying to use PostgreSQL as my back-end. Some of my scaffolding generates with no problem but for other parts I get this: Before updating scaffolding from new DB schema, try creating a table for your model The tables do exist. At least I can see them from psql. Here is the SQL I''m using to create my tables: CREATE

I''m an experienced PHP programmer (don''t know Ruby yet), and I''m playing around with Symfony (PHP MVC framework similar to Rails) and I found myself asking if there''s really any reason to use it over Rails. From what I''ve seen just about every feature in Rails is superior except one very important thing - Symfony''s admin generator. This is
