Hello their,

Its very simple, here is my code:

class BlogController \< ActionController::Base  
scaffold :blogs  
end

When I go to  
[http://127.0.0.1:3000/blog/list/](http://127.0.0.1:3000/blog/list/)

I get this error:  
uninitialized constant Blog

The table exist (blogs), but it doesn’t allow me to use the default  
scaffold interface, why?

Please any help, thanks 🙂

Regards,  
Jamal

I get it to work, if you had the same error, then you must remember that  
to set the table name in a model.

ruby script/generate model blog

then open the file blog.rb  
class Blog \< ActiveRecord::Base  
set\_table\_name “blogs”  
end

then go back to your controller:  
class BlogController \< ApplicationController  
scaffold :blog;

end

Everything work 😃

-Never give up!
