So in the middle of delivering a website to somebody I naively upgraded
to rails 2.0, and WTF? Why did the scaffolding change so dramatically
without leaving the old commands around? (insert Zed Shaw rant here) So
I figured out how to run the scaffold command and the code it creates is
TOTALLY different than anything I know. WHY do I need webservices built
into my stupid little website again, could somebody please remind me?
Anyway, end of rant (but still irritated).
Here comes a real question:
1. Before it was easy to remove a layout for a specific controller and
use the default application.rhtml layout. In my case the
application.rhtml has all my navigational tabs and stuff like that. Now
when I remove the layout created by the scaffold command I get an error.
Could somebody please tell me how to remove the layout file created my
this fabulous 2.0 scaffold command?
Could you perhaps post the solution here? That way, everybody else gets
to benefit from your new-found knowledge
Ha ha, are you trying to embarass me? I don't know the solution. The
next time I removed the layout file it just started working! The only
thing I could think of is, initially when I got the error, I had only
renamed the layout file to something I didn't think would be picked up.
Maybe what I renamed it to still got picked up, but not picked up
correctly.
Maybe when it worked it was because I renamed it to something different
than the first time I renamed it? Then once it started working I
removed the layout file.
I know this isn't much help, but it's the best I can do.
