similar to: I''d like to edit the scaffolding file - is it possible?

I am reposting this because not only am I VERY interested in the answer but because I think it would also be useful to many, many people. We kind of have a house-style here, so it would be nice if the generated scaffold.css would accommodate that. My questions are? Is it possible? Is it safe? How? bruce

I''d like to take some advice and write a generator to change the scaffold.css. How do I do that? I looked on the wiki and googled it but have not found anything yet. Any help would be much appreciated. bruce

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

Hi: I have a table called clients and each client has many lists (a has_many and belongs_to has been created in the class. What I need to do is get a count of the rows in each list for each client. I was hoping I could do something like client.lists.count but it does not seem to work. Any suggestions? bruce

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

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,

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

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

I create a hash using this line of code @x = Account.find(:all) I then want to go through each element in turn and add a key value pair to the end of it. I thought this would work, but it does not. @x.each do |a| a.merge({"balance"=>50} I used merge because I thought ''a'' would be a hash (how do you find out the type of an object?) I then guess it was

Hi: Some French fellow posted a notice yesterday about a book that had come out. It''s called "Ruby on Rails" and is apparently by DHH & David Thomas. Is this a scam? If not, does anyone know where I can buy this book in English? I''ve searched the usual places but can''t turn anything up. Bruce

Hi, I''m going through the Depot tutorial in the book "Agile Web Development with Rails" and I can''t even get past the very first step. I''m getting the following error: "Before updating scaffolding from new DB schema, try creating a table for your model (Product)" when I try to run "ruby script/generate scaffold Product Admin. I have a table

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

Hi: Would it be fair to say (or completely out to lunch) that a local variable is local to a method and an instance variable is local to an object. Thus an instance variable is a sort of limited global variable or super-powered local variable. Its scope is larger than a local but smaller than a global. Or that it is a global within a limited domain (the object). or is it a whole lot

Hi Everyone, I built a scaffold and I''m having trouble getting results properly formatted. (I need to get the data into multiple columns instead of just one big column) I can''t get all of my CSS to work properly in scaffold.css, layout/books.rhtml, or the books/index.rhtml.erb Anyways, maybe you have a suggestion.

Hi: I love Locomotive and use it exclusively for my rails projects. I''d like to install GRUFF and give it a try (a graph image creation package). I know I can do sudo gem install gruff from the command line for normal ruby and rails. How do I make gems available to Locomotive? bruce

Hi All, I''m looking for a quality scaffolding plugin. So far I''ve discovered DryScaffolding and Streamlined. DryScaffolding doesn''t truly support Rails 1.2.2 so I dropped that. Streamlined works, but is full of quirks (e.g. many-to-many relationships not cascade updating correctly, etc). Can anyone suggest a quality scaffolding plugin/ generator/framework that

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

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

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

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
