Scaffold is there to get you started, and to provide a good mainstream example of how a form should be presented, processed, and routed. You don't have to use it, but if you are new to Rails, it's a good idea to try it out on a scratch project before you start re-inventing the wheel long-hand.

There's a lot of good reasons to stay on the rails (metaphorically speaking) and do things the way that Scaffold does, at least until you are sure of what you're doing.

The Rails Guides are a great thing to read and work through, and make sure you use the version that matches your version of Rails. If it's 3, you need to be sure that any tutorial is geared toward that version, as the commands have changed slightly, and some of the conventions have been simplified. If you're using 2.3, then vice-versa.

I created a button and add a action to it as: <%= button_to 'Add to Cart', :action => 'Click' %>

And then made a empty method named "click" in controller ,so now when i clicked on buttton it says: No route matches {:controller=>"store", :action=>"click"} what is error?

Help please

Thanks.

You need to add a route for that action to routes.rb. Have a look at the Rails Guide on Routing which describes how routing works.

I created a button and add a action to it as:

<%= button_to ‘Add to Cart’, :action => ‘Click’ %>

Is this bring not RESTful? Since the action is not CRUD.
