I’m building a very simple site for an architect. The main features  
are a listing of projects and a link list of partners.

The way I build it is with one controller for the frontend and one for  
the backend. So far it’s been working very fine for the frontend.

Now I thought I would use scaffold to generate some files to work from  
for the backend.

There is no problem writing like this:

class AdminController \< ApplicationController

scaffold :project

end

But if I do something like this it won’t work:

class AdminController \< ApplicationController

def project  
scaffold :project  
end

def partner  
scaffold :partner  
end

end

Is there a way to solve this?

Can you write some syntax in the console to regerate the scaffold code  
nestled in a action?

Thanks in advance!
