similar to: Has anyone written a ''markaby_scaffold''?

I discovered Markaby recently, and am loving it! I''m generating scaffolds, then converting them to Markaby ''.mab'' files. It got me wondering... Has anyone written a plugin to generate scaffolds in Markaby, yet?? That would be truly awesome if there was on out there already. -- Best Regards, -Larry "Work, work, work...there is no satisfactory

I''ve upgraded from Markaby 0.3 to 0.5 using gem install markaby.

Is there a special

Recently discovered Markaby. Before I use it on a production system, I''d like to know if it is still being maintained? According to the change log, the last change was in February of 2006. Does this mean that the project has been abandoned? Or, at version 0.3 it was considered production stable and complete? -- Best Regards, -Larry "Work, work, work...there is no satisfactory

I have many pages to generate quickly. They are based off of the scaffold generator, but I want to convert the rhtml files to Markaby, and change some formatting. Without having to do a lot of repetitive hand editing. Is there a simple way to overwrite/extend part of the scaffold generator? Do I need to write my own from scratch? -- Best Regards, -Larry "Work, work, work...there is no

Ok, So I followed the directions.. I did a ''gem install markaby'' (which sounds like its enough to get me going for rails), but I wasn''t sure, so I tried to install the plugin as well. Plugin installation fails looking for a file: Script/plugin install http://code.whytheluckystiff.net/svn/markaby/trunk Outputs this error: + ./trunk/svnindex.xsl

Hi all, I am starting a new rails app with the Markaby plugin (had some issues installing, but think its working). First, i created an index.mab file for a controller containing: h1 "First template" That rendered fine. Also, I do not have a "def index ..." in the controller. Then I created an app/layouts/application.mab file. It didn''t get picked up until after

Hi everybody, I would like to use ruby2ruby in a caming project, but there seems to be an incompatibility with camping, ruby2ruby and markaby. Unfortunately I receive strange Markaby::InvalidXhtmlErrors. To demonstrate, that only combination of all three components causes the problem I added the following code. I relies on Markaby and ruby2ruby only and works fine (a.k.a. as expected).

I need to process some text files quickly. I''ve not been able to find the answer in the archive. The Ruby Standard Library site times out. Can someone tell me where to find info on how to: 1. Get a list of filenames in a directory. 2. How to open a file. 3. How to read it a line at a time. -- Thanks in advance for the help, -Larry "Work, work, work...there is no satisfactory

I read somewhere that the correct naming of bridge tables is in alpha order. For example. I have two tables: houses, and colors. If I want to create a bridge table to associate colors with houses, I would name the table: colors_houses The associations work fine. But, if I have a table named: track_houses. Building a bridge table called: colors_track_houses, gives me model associaton errors.

Ruby script/console takes 30-secs to start on the Windows 2003 servers in our shop. Has anyone found a way to speed that up?

Can someone explain the new Markaby syntax to me? I''m using Markaby as a Rails plugin, fetched from the trunk.

Does anyone have any experience getting ODBC to work? I could really use some help here. I''m having trouble accessing a db2 database via odbc using rails.

this bug is similar to something i see already discussed on why''s blogpost comments, which was reported fixed, but that was before the gem was made available (which is what im using since i cant seem to access the C.WTLS SVN) my guess is one of 3 things: fix didnt propagate to gem, my own failure to make an educated guess on proper setup (1), or a genuine bug essentially, for

I''ve been using tables to get my forms to line up. ( I have usually one column for labels, and a column for values ). Should I be using divs instead? I''ve been reading some CSS design books lately. They tend to recommend divs over tables for general page layout stuff. But, what about the forms elements? What''s the ''best practice'' in this regard?

With the help of Tim Fletcher, I''m glad to present a new plugin for writing HTML templates in plain Ruby. You write .mab templates in app/views/ which contain Builder-like representations of HTML. As an illustration, here is the scaffold edit.rhtml remade as Markaby: h1 ''Editing product'' start_form_tag :action => ''update'', :id =>
