similar to: Documentation for the built-in generator functions?

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,

I can find the API documentation, but where is the documentation for the standard generators. The wiki has 3rd party generators- but I want to know specifically what generate controller does, and how it differs from generate scaffold, and what other generators there are. Where is this succinctly documented? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

(Forgive me if this is incorrect, because I recognized this initially as something in Rails 4.0.0.beta1 and have just done a cursory look over the latest generator code.) Noticed in Rails 4 that the test generated for a scaffold controller only tests the html format instead of both html and json:

I''m trying to call the postback generator on rails 0.9.5. I''ve installed the postback tarball into gems/1.8/gems/rails-0.9.5/generators/postback as it seems like it is supposed to be. At least, I installed the login generator the same way and it works. But when I try to run it, I get this: [carl@e236014 test]$ ruby script/generate postback

Hello, I''ve just started playing around with the Rails 3.0.0.beta and I came across some seemingly strange behaviour, where I expected: "In previous versions of Rails, the rails generate scaffold command would automatically create a controller specific layout, like app/ views/layouts/posts.html.erb, for the posts controller. However this has been changed in Rails 3.0. A application

Anyone know of any generators, plug-ins, etc. that will generate in-place editing scaffold?

Apparently a scaffold creates at least one instance variable for views to use, and if I override the scaffold then I must also explicitly create that instance variable for the view. I''d like to know exactly what work is performed by the scaffold so that I can know this when over-riding the view. (OR, is it that the controller makes these variables available by default?..) EXAMPLE:

Hi! The script/generator scaffold for models doesnt respect (source in) this config/environment.rb setup, right? Because I can put in there ActiveRecord::Base.pluralize_table_names = false but when I run a command like ruby script/generate scaffold model Something then it throws an error saying that my database scheme doesnt have a Something. However there is a table called something. If I

created a small patch.. looking for feedback / etc.. https://rails.lighthouseapp.com/projects/8994-ruby-on-rails/tickets/5319-adding-options-to-erb-scaffold-generator-to-include-or-skip-custom-views-templates#ticket-5319-2 When I was working on customizing the erb scaffold generator to match the style and design I wanted to use by creating custom templates in / lib/templates/erb/scaffold I found

Hi all, I talked to Aaron briefly about this at RailsConf, but I just wanted to bring this up here before I start working on it in case anyone objects. I will be looking into moving the "Plural version of the model detected, using singularized version. Override with --force-plural." warning and the associated flag into the model generators. Currently this is only in the resource (and

The Ext Scaffold Generator Plugin can be viewed as a drop-in replacement for Rails'' standard Resource Generator. Accepting the very same options, it will generate views using data grid and form components from the Ext JS Javascript GUI framework as well as a controller acting as an Ext-compatible JSON web service. The generated code can be used as a starting point for further

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

I ran into something really puzzling today. I don''t know exactly why it''s happening, but I thought I''d share my experiences. I started a dummy app just to test an idea outside of the context of my real work today. So, I quickly get things started: * rails junk * cd junk * ruby script/plugin install svn://rubyforge.org/var/svn/rspec/tags/ CURRENT/rspec * ruby

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

I have ruby 1.8.4 and gem 0.8.11 installed on Ubuntu Dapper. Now I wanted to use gem to install rails (as documented in the wiki). That worked fine, but afterwards, the command rails is not found. It seems that the gem install command does not place the binaries in the apropriate directory. The instruction pages at the Rails websites show that one cun simply type "rails" after the gem

Hi, Anyone know where the "record" method is defined. Its used in generators like in the scaffold generator. An extract from it is below (taken from scaffold_generator.rb): def manifest record do |m| # Check for class naming collisions. m.class_collisions controller_class_path, "#{controller_class_name}Controller",

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, I''m looking into write scaffold generators that will, amoung other things, scaffold active record associations (eg. generate select boxes for belongs_to where you can choose a parent object) for quicker prototyping. But... My question is: Is there anyway of finding out what associations exist from examining the lodel classes themselves or indeed any other way of finding out this

Hi: I''m new to RoR and I apologize if this is a dumb question but I''ve read the guides, searched the archives and found nothing. If I generate a model object and then the scaffold_controller the result is different than just running the scaffold generator (the _form partial has no fields in the first case). I did not expected this and I wanted to first create the models, tweak

Hi devels, i did not find at this page: http://developer.r-project.org/ideas.txt any ideas concerning incorporating documentation possibilities (say, Sweave-based) into R-scripts. Was it discussed already? (If discussed, then what is the decision/conclusion then?) thanks, Valery
