Hi Andrew,
create database table ‘contact’ with fields you would like in your form,
and run scaffold generator in your application directory:
ruby script/generate scaffold Contact new

it should be working:
http://localhost:3000/contact/new

After that you can customize view, model and controller to add
obligatory fields, etc

I get

“Couldn’t find ‘scafford’ generator”

I am typing this command from the root folder (the one which has the
folders app, config, db,…

I have also typed the command in the app folder

Is that a typo? Should be “scaffold”.

yes, it should be scaffold

Is there a step by step guide?

The command now works :slight_smile:

It has now created the folder in the views folder called new.

Isnt it http://localhost:3000/new/contact ???

I have no idea what to put in the rhtml file. What does the file in the
new folder need to be called?

Thanks

I have run the scaffold command and created the new table in the
database called contact. the table has the fields i want e.g. id, name,
email, comment

I am lost at what i need to do next.

Its so confusing Rails - try to get my head around where it stores
everything, how its configured!! :frowning:

Is there a way to create a contact form that sends an email without
having a table related to it.

In my case I do not need a table contacts, I only need to send an email.

thanks
