Changing Scaffold

Hi,

I am starting a project in rails and I wish to change scaffolding. I've already done some changes like prepare all texts for locale. Now I am wishing to change the way it generates the _form partial. Could someone give some guideline so I can study such thing? I saw "template_for_inclusion" in form.rhtml but couldn't find out how to change it. Being more specific, I would like to change scaffold to create lookup combo boxes to simple tables.

An example:

I have table countries and states. States has a country_id field When I scaffold table states I would like it to generate a combo with countries.

Thank you for your help.

If you use script/generate to generate the scaffolding for your project, it outputs the code to your application directory, and you can edit them there.
