Generates a nested scaffold
gem install nilesh-nested-scaffold -s https://gems.github.com
You may need to uninstall the older version if it’s installed.
gem uninstall nilesh-nested-scaffold
Once you install the gem, the generator will be available to all Rails applications on your system. If you run script/generate without any additional arguments you should see the available generators listed.
To run the generator, go to your rails project directory and call it using the script/generate or script/destroy command.
script/generate nested_scaffold Blog/Post title:string index new
Run the command with the --help option to learn more.
script/generate nested-scaffold --help
I get “undefined method ‘title’” error.
Try running nifty_layout, that will generate this helper method. Or you can just change the templates to whatever approach you prefer for setting the title.
I get “undefined method ‘root_url’” error.
Some generators default redirecting to the root_url. Set this in your routes.rb file like this (substituting your controller name).
map.root :controller => 'foo'
I get a missing database error.
Run rake db:migrate.
Forms don’t work.
Try restarting your development server. Sometimes it doesn’t detect the change in the routing.
I can’t set new attributes in my User model.
Add the attribute to the attr_accessible line in the model.
The tests/specs don’t work.
Make sure you have mocha installed and require it in your spec/test helper.
gem install mocha # in spec_helper.rb config.mock_with :mocha # in test_helper.rb require 'mocha'
Also, make sure you’re using Rails 2.1 or greater.

If you wish the generators behaved differently, please consider forking the project and modifying to your heart’s content.
