Hi, I am trying rails 2 and the dynamic scaffolding does not work. I wonder if the syntax changed or what? ---

You can still get the same behavior by using the scaffold generator included with rails, only the ActionController#scaffold method has been removed. If you wanted scaffolding for the Product model, try running script/generate Product. If you run script/generate with no options, it will give you a quick help with examples. This is better anyway as it creates the controller with all of the relevant code included allowing you to see and change it. Hope this helps. -Bill ---

In other words, the scaffold has been changed to be RESTful by default. This is going to break a lot of tutorials i think. Bill, have you experienced otherwise? ---

Hi Arash IMHO, I think you would be better off looking at Active Scaffold. CCH > **[Rails... Rails...

I beg your pardon, Steve, dynamic scaffolding _has_ been removed but the non-dynamic, generated scaffolding has merely been changed to the restful version.
