So Iâ??ve been following streamlined ([http://streamlined.relevancellc.com/](http://streamlined.relevancellc.com/)) and Ajax Scaffold for awhile and they look like great tools. However Iâ??m looking for a tool thatâ??s more like a scaffolding on steroids rather than an admin CRUD tool. What Iâ??m looking for is a generator I can use to do rapid prototyping with a client (like scaffold) but that can at least handle 1-M stuff (has\_many, belongs\_to) etc. The resulting prototype â??enhanced scaffoldâ?? can then be used as a starting place for the real app, so it has to be extremely spartan (like current scaffold). Does anyone know of a tool like this out there? Cheers. ---

Am I correct in thinking this? ---

I recently installed and _I believe_ properly configured the Globalize plugin. However, it seems to work in one view and not another. I have two product views - one for a listing of multiple products and one for a listing of a single product’s details. My base language is set in environment.rb as: include Globalize Locale.set\_base\_language ‘en-US’ Locale.set ‘en-US’ I have a controller called product. Here’s the index method snippet (I’m setting the Locale explicitly to test it out): def index Locale.set “es-ES” @products = Product.find(:all, :order =\> “date\_added”, :conditions =\> @@active … My product model looks like: class Product \< ActiveRecord::Base … translates :name, :description … In this case, Globalize works correctly and displays the Spanish names correctly as seen in screenshot: [http://www.tmpforums.com/images/tam/listings.jpg](http://www.tmpforums.com/images/tam/listings.jpg) The product\_details method looks like: def product\_details begin Locale.set “es-ES” @product = Product.find(params[:id], :conditions =\> @@active) … However, no matter what I do, it always keeps displaying the English name in this view: [http://www.tmpforums.com/images/tam/details.jpg](http://www.tmpforums.com/images/tam/details.jpg) I took a look at the globalize\_translations table and to the best of my knowledge it looks fine: [http://www.tmpforums.com/images/table.jpg](http://www.tmpforums.com/images/table.jpg) I’ve checked the view template and I’m not changing the locale in the view at all. I’ve even tried setting the locale in the view template to “es-ES” and it STILL displays it as English. I have no idea what I’m doing wrong, but I suspect it’s something subtle I’m missing. Would really appreciate any help with this. Thanks! Best Regards, Tamim ---

I just found something strange. I changed the following: def product\_details begin Locale.set “es-ES” @product = Product.find(params[:id], :conditions =\> @@active) … \*TO THIS: \* def product\_details begin Locale.set “es-ES” @product = Product.find(:all, :conditions =\> “id = #{params[:id]} AND #{@@active}”) @product = @product[0] … And in this case Globalize returns the translated name. But why does it not return it when I use Product.find? ---

Am I correct in thinking this? Yes. However, I recently commited some changes that allow you to generate controller code with it, and you’ve always been able to copy to scaffold views and modify them. Not a true generator, but one of the main advantages of the plugin is that it (is|should be) flexible enough that you don’t need to modify the output. The plugin handles belongs\_to, has\_many, and habtm associations, but it is more suited to do admin CRUD than to be a true scaffold (in spite of the name). That said, it includes features that make rich user accessible forms easy to build, if you don’t mind reading the RDoc or looking at the code.
