I created a RESTful model (User) using the scaffold\_resource generator  
and used ActiveScaffold on it. Unfortunately, I get the following  
error when I click “Edit” for a particular row:

ActionController::RoutingError (no route found to match “/user/1;edit”  
with {:method=\>:“get/”}):

Like the instructions suggested, I added the active\_scaffold =\> true  
to config/routes.rb and emptied out the built-in Rails scaffolding in  
the generated controller.

I suspect that I misinterpreted the term “empty out”. Do I get rid of  
all the methods completely and replace it with active\_scaffold :user?

Any ideas on how to fix this error?

Thanks!
