Controllers without Models

Hi,

Newbie here...Is it possible to create a controller without a model?

Example: a CRM app has a "calendar" type of page. I'm thinking the URL would be /calendar/action. There is no dedicated "calendar" table in the d/b but rather a collection of calls, tasks, meetings, etc. Is it as simple as creating a calendar controller? I've tried but keep getting "recognition failed...".

I'm guessing a SQL view can be created and the model gen'd off of that but am curious about other possibilities.

Thanks!

Shawn

Thanks for the responses.

I was trying to createa a test controller and finally realized that it was a file naming issue (testcontroller.rb vs tests_controller.rb).

More noob questions to follow in separate threads :slight_smile:

Thanks again!
