Hi there,

I have rails 1.2.3 installed but do not have the scaffold\_resource  
generator, should this be installed by default???

this is all I have:

Installed Generators  
Builtin: controller, integration\_test, mailer, migration, model,  
observer,  
plugin, resource, scaffold, session\_migration, web\_service

cheers

Run ‘script/generate scaffold’ and take a look at the help text. The old  
scaffold generator is going  
away and the default behavior of scaffold will be to generate the  
resource stuff. Didn’t think that  
was going to happen until rails 2.0 but maybe the change has already  
been made.
