Rails: generate scaffold Product Admin overwrites admin page

Rubies:

I’m up to the infamous Page 57 in Joel Spolsky’s most favoritest book in
the
whole world, /Agile Web D. with Rails/ by the Daves.

It says:

ruby script/generate scaffold Product Admin

That makes an instant view and editor into the Product model and
database
table.

Now suppose I want to, uh, create a second database table, and I need a
second administration view on it. So I create the table, and then run
this:

ruby script/generate scaffold AnotherTable Admin

The system overwrites (with permission) the exiting administration
files.

What’s the fix? Should I rename the prior files? If so, what’s the exact
list to rename, and how to keep them linked in?

That is not really an excuse :slight_smile:

Until they fix it, #rubyonrails on irc.freenode.net may
(or may not) be able to help.

Two different things cannot be named the same, I believe.
