I am reading Agile Web D. with Rails and after setting  
everything up with the first application I get the following error:  
NoMethodError in AdminController#index undefined method `scaffold

I then installed the plugin for scaffold and I got this error:  
undefined method `paginate’

I have read on the web and in this group about installing The paginate  
plugin but I cannot get it to work and I cannot find the plugin to  
install. Where do I find the plugin? How do I install it on my  
Mandriva system and if not how do I get rid of it?

PLEASE!

Unfortunately, the Agile Web Dev with Rails is out of date if you’re  
using Rails 2.0

Here’s a link to a Railscast that shows you how to install and use the  
will\_paginate plugin.
