similar to: scaffold usage

I''m doing very well with the Hibbs Rolling on Rails tutorial. I have an easy question for my personal notes. I''m coming up with a simple framework of steps for creating a basic database. It includes the following maxims to make original app creation easy: app_name = MySQL database name SQL_tablename = model_name model_name = controller-name Is this going to work for getting

Hello all, I''m in my second day of working through the various Ruby on Rails tutorials, I''m already hugely impressed by the potential speed of developing database driven sites, especially via the use of scaffolds. Which brings me on to my first question (apologies if it''s a simple one, but like I said it is only my second day!) I am aiming to develop an application

I''m trying to get data in rows instead of columns by default. The default scaffold behavior is to create an initial table layout with column headers along the top. In some cases this creates really wide tables which require horizontal scrolling. Is there a parameter I can use with scaffolding or a hack to get the header cells along the left side of the table instead? I''m

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

Hi, I''m having some trouble overriding/defining the default_field_options constant without raising a warning. I''ve tried adding the code to do it in an initializer but that produces a warning (because the constant is already frozen), after some googling I found a recommendation to put it in the environment.rb file but that then that throws uninitialized constant ActionView

Hi all I have a Model like this: class Member < ActiveRecord::Base attr_accessible :username, :email, :first_name, :last_name end I have created a scaffold using script/generate scaffold member members Using the URL localhost:3000/members/edit/1 I can edit all attributes, including created_at, lock_version etc.! But it should only show the attributes I listed in attr_accessible! What

Hi guys, I''ve been able to successfully install the postgres adapter for a remote database machine to get rails up. My machine is running on Fedora 2. Rails version 1.1.2. Is my yml config correct? I am getting this error when I execute script/generate scaffold service_contents content : exists app/controllers/ exists app/helpers/ create app/views/spiel exists

I''d like to create scaffolds for each of the tables in my database, but would like to access them below the path: localhost:3000/admin For example localhost:3000/admin/table1 localhost:3000/admin/table2 Where table1 and table2 would be the controller names respectively, calling their own list.rhtml, show.rhtml, edit.rhtml, etc.. Any recommendations on how/where to

Does anyone know how to link Rails'' routes into anonymous controller classes created at runtime (defined with their superclass as ActionController::Base)? I''m trying to create a plugin for all of my projects that dynamically creates an active_scaffold controller for each model. It would essentially be like a scaffold_all_models for active_scaffold. I believe the original

I''ve got 8 scaffolds, each one can be considered an ''item'', such as a blog, photo, etc. Using login_engine and user_engine, I list all blogs belonging to a user by saying: @user=session[:user] @blogs=@user.blogs.find(:all) but then let''s say I want to create an option where I want to slice it differently: @user=session[:user] if @someOption ==1

Hi all I''m quite unsure what''s the point to have a create and update action in the Rails scaffolds... I guess the developers had good reason to implement them, but I don''t really see the reason for them... Why no just checking for get/post within the same new/edit method? def new unless request.post? # do the normal "new" stuff else # do the

Hi Community, I''m currently trying to create a blog software in rails, but I''ve got a problem: I generated scaffolding for my articles and only want administrators to write, edit or delete articles. So I wanted to move this parts to another, secured controller. The one controller to display articles is called articles :), the other is also called articles, but is located in a

Hi, is there a way to scaffold with namespace? I''d like to generate a Posts model with namespace admin. But using script/generate scaffold admin/post title:string the migration would generate a table "admin_posts". So I did now script/generate scaffold post title:string moved the controller, views manually to admin/... and had to change each link manually from (e.g.)

I am attempting to generate scaffolds on legacy tables that have underscores in the name. Scaffold does not see the underscore. I have tried a backslash escape but it no work. I have looked around but i cannot find a way to make it work. It''s like this: c:\railroad>ruby script/generate scaffold FOO_BAR exists app/controllers/ exists app/helpers/ create

Hi, Does anyone know a good way to override AR associations to take special cases into account. My current take is the example below which allows the ''root'' user to access all products, but only works if I remember to call it with a .all/.find or similar method: ''user.products.all'' instead of ''user.products''. Ideally I guess I want to return a

I went through a tutorial at http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/onlamp/2005/01/20/rails.html?page=1 to get started with RoR. I really like the idea of the scaffold construct, but I can''t seem to get it to work the way it was described in the tutorial. I''ve got a mysql database that is properly configured, and a table called ''quotes'' with a column called

NameError in UsersController#index uninitialized constant UsersController::User RAILS_ROOT: C:/RailsApps/rgams Application Trace | Framework Trace | Full Trace c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-2.1.0/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:492:in `const_missing'' app/controllers/users_controller.rb:5:in `index''

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

Are my eyes going buggy, or did something recently change in Edge Rails so that now scaffolds are generated with pluralized controller/ helper/etc names? I peeked at the code in railties/lib/rails_generator/generators/components/scaffold/ scaffold_generator.rb around line 50, and it looks like there was a change there recently so that it now defaults to pluralized names. So why was this
