Since Rails 2.0 has removed dynamic scaffolding, is there any other  
alternative?

There are a few alternatives (all of them better than the old stuff from  
Rails 1.x):

- ActiveScaffold - [http://activescaffold.com/](http://activescaffold.com/)
- Streamlined - [http://streamlinedframework.org/](http://streamlinedframework.org/)
- Hobo - [http://www.hobocentral.net/](http://www.hobocentral.net/)
- make\_resourceful - [http://mr.hamptoncatlin.com/](http://mr.hamptoncatlin.com/)

The only one I have used extensively is ActiveScaffold although I am not  
a hugh fan of the single-page interface. The one that interest me the  
most is make\_resourceful. Doesn’t scaffold your views but those are  
custom most of the time anyway. The real savings is the configurable  
scaffolding of your controllers. Streamlined has been around a while and  
has lots of capabilities but I find it a bit kitchen sink. I haven’t  
tried Hobo but it looks to deviate from the general mindset of Rails too  
much for me.
