If anyone is interested... along the same lines as view templates, I figured out how to create controller template to override the scaffold controllers which rails 3 generates.
1. Create the following folders starting at the root folder of your rails 3 app. /lib/templates/rails/scaffold_controller 2. Create a controller.rb file inside the 'scaffold_controller' folder. 3. Paste in the content as found at: https://github.com/rails/rails/blob/master/railties/lib/rails/generators/rails/scaffold_controller/templates/controller.rb 4. Then modify to suit your needs. In my case I am using declarative_authorization, and I learned about respond_to and respond_with from a railscast, so my controller.rb file is reduced to the following: --------- class <%= controller_class_name %>Controller < ApplicationController filter_resource_access respond_to :html, :xml def index @<%= plural_table_name %> = <%= orm_class.all(class_name) %> respond_with (@<%= plural_table_name %>) end def show respond_with (@<%= singular_table_name %>) end def new respond_with (@<%= singular_table_name %>) end def edit end def create if @<%= singular_table_name %>.save flash[:notice] = '<%= human_name %> was successfully created.' end respond_with(@<%= singular_table_name %>, :location => <%= plural_table_name %>_url) end def update if @<%= singular_table_name %>.update_attributes(params[:<%= singular_table_name %>]) flash[:notice] = '<%= human_name %> was successfully updated.' end respond_with(@<%= singular_table_name %>, :location => <%= plural_table_name %>_url) end def destroy @<%= singular_table_name %>.destroy respond_with(@<%= singular_table_name %>, :location => <%= plural_table_name %>_url) end end --------- HTH - Doug K. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Haml" group.
