Hi

Could someone please point me to a simple ActiveScaffold example that I  
can copy and see if this thing works. The example given on their site  
does not work for me. I am trying to learn this stuff (Rails) but every  
now and then I hit a something and spend hours trying to hunt a  
solution.

Please don’t ask me to google about this.

Regards

Sandeep

If you want to know what the scaffold() method does you can simply do it  
yourself by running the generator for your project location

./script/generate OnOfYourModels OptionalControllerHere

hope this helps
