Customize list.rhtml to display only certain db columns

Rails
1

Hi,

Very new to RoR; have been a flash developer for four years or so. I
have an urgent question – in the list.rhtml file, I only want to
display certain columns instead of dumping out all the columns in the
database. Could someone shed some light this topic? Thanks!!!

You need to move off of scaffolding and actually specify the columns
you want.

This shows you an example of doing so.

Note that the new streamlined scaffolding would allow you to
configure what columns you want (along with providing much AJAXy
goodness), but it’s still in alpha state.

I downloaded the Streamlined gem, it’s AMAZING… Thanks SO much.

also, as a side note, check out the rails scaffolding plugin at

+Plugin. It’s really cool!
