similar to: Templates in scaffold

When creating a scaffold you get a layout file. How does it work? I thought I would find the var @content_for_layout in the controller, but I didn''t. Where is layouts defined or controlled? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

How do I get scaffold to generate code for a table whos name is not plural of the modelname I give to it. I.E., If I have an existing database, and wish to generate scaffold code for existing tables, is this possible??? _______________________________________________ Rails mailing list Rails-1W37MKcQCpIf0INCOvqR/iCwEArCW2h5@public.gmane.org http://lists.rubyonrails.org/mailman/listinfo/rails

Maybe this should apply to Ruby forums directly, but I''ll try here. I understand the concept of classes and subclasses thanks to the excellent "Programming Ruby - The Pragmatic Programmer''s Guide". However, I don''t understand what :: signify in terms of inheritance, parent and child in e.g. ActionController::Base -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Can I use the table name "adm_users" (mysql)? Will that give the model name "adm_user"? Or should it be "admusers" and "admuser"? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Can anyone supply me with a simple, succinct explanation of what the difference is between the "new" controller and the "create" controller that the scaffold generator produces? I run: > script/generate scaffold modelname controllername And now I need to do some work inside the controllername.rb file. For example, pulling a list from another database table to supply

Ahoy, I was able to follow the tutorials and build a simple to-do list program with Items and Categories and have the related tables link up w/ the default "scaffold :Items" command plus custom defenitions. Then I erased all of that and tried rebuilding the program using the ruby script/generate scaffold Item (and category) command. Now the templates look like " <% for

hi everyone. I am learning RoR and just recently purchase the agile wed dev on rails. i am still at the beginning of the book trying to create the scaffold for the depot_development database. Everytime i run the generate scaffold products admin, i recieve the "before building the scaffold, try to create a table for model products" etc... a few questions: 1. How does ruby know that

Running ruby script/generate scaffold Product Admin is a wonderful way to set up well, exactly what it says, a scaffold. My problem is that I have several other tables that are linked, through foreign keys, to the Product table. Say an "authors" table. Now when I go enter a new product, a book, I want the application to provide a drop down list of authors generated from the records in

I''ve been working through the "Rolling with Ruby on Rails" tutorial and have come up against something I''m hoping someone here can help me understand.

Hi all, I''m a web designer/-developer. I found Ruby and Ruby on Rails, and as I can understand (for now) this is what I''ve been looking for. I''m really exited about this. Prior to this I''ve used Lasso and PHP. But a few questions (sitting on Mac OS 10.4.6). I tried to install according to this:

How is the performance running RoR with Apache2 compared to running it with PHP? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

In an migration file there is one up and one down method. Below is from Agile Web Development with Rails: class CreateOrderHistories < ActiveRecord::Migration def self.up create_table :order_histories do |t| t.column :order_id, :integer, :null => false t.column :created_at, :timestamp t.column :notes, :text end end def self.down drop_table :order_histories end end Why is there a drop

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,

Are there any other tutorial than "Agile Web Development with Rails" that you can suggest? So far I can''t say that RoR has been easy to learn. :-) -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi, I am working on a table with name "addresses". However when I do a ruby script/generate scaffold Address, I am not able to access http://localhost:3000/addresses. I am getting the following error. uninitialized constant Addres This error occured while loading the following files: addres.rb How do I resolve this issue. Thanks Silvy MAthews

This is so frustrating. Is RoR that easy to learn or is it hype or is it just me? I wonder how many newbies like me are surfing the docs trying to get a clue of the basics. Every tutorial I find is much the same, and seems to skip the fundmental parts. How should you understand the Ruby API http://api.rubyonrails.org/? What is < ActionController::Base?

In http://www.aidanf.net/rails_user_authentication_tutorial there is the string/method protected in the model. What does it do? Can''t find that in http://api.rubyonrails.org/. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

i''ve got a cool app going and it''s getting bigger and bigger, but now i''m trying to customize the show function. i''m using the scaffold code as a base but can''t seem to get anything to look right. i guess i''m confused about how exactly the scaffold code works for the "show" function. any help would be awesome! thanks. jon --

rspec_resource_generator ======================== By Pat Maddox Use this generator to generate RESTful scaffolding with RSpec specifications. Syntax is exactly the same as the scaffold_resource generator: ./script/generate rspec_resource ModelName [field:type field:type] When you run this generator, it will create a migration, model, and model spec file. In addition, it gives you a RESTful
