Hi, I’m trying to make an app using rails 2.x, but when I try to  
generate scaffold it messes up with several errors. For example, I  
want to make an scaffold this way, localhost:3000/admin/publisher, but  
I don’t know how I can generate it;

I was trying to generate it by ./script/generate scaffold ‘admin/  
publisher’ name:string, but I doesn’t work… It gave me an error  
that tells me publishers database doesn’t exists!!!

Can anyone help me into this thing…??? How am I supposed to make it  
work???

Thanks in advance!

Christian

Hi  
you can do like  
./script/generate scaffold Admin::Publisher

```
Here the model be namespaced And if you need only controllers and 

```

view you can do it seperately

./script/generate controller Admin::Publisher  
./script/generate model Publisher

```
 And edit routes.rb

```

map.namespace(:admin) do |admin|  
map.resources :publishers  
end

Thanks Sijo, I followed your instructions but there’s another error I  
got  
Routing Error

No route matches “/admin/publisher” with {:method=\>:get}

Do you know a way to get rid of it…??

Thanks

Hi

Not only doing the above solves all…You have to edit a lot of  
places. Rather than I explain all these and grab a lot more spaces here  
you better read this  
Read section Namespaced Routes in

There is a totally superb blog on this that I use all the time  
[http://icebergist.com/posts/restful-admin-namespaced-controller-using-scaffolding](http://icebergist.com/posts/restful-admin-namespaced-controller-using-scaffolding)  
Clear, concise and it works!
