I've written a new article for the wiki, which follows on from the original "Creating Radiant Extensions"[1] tutorial. It demonstrates how to remove the scaffolding from your extension, and style it so that it looks more like it belongs in Radiant. Find it here:

        http://wiki.radiantcms.org/Radiant_extensions_without_a_scaffold

I would be very pleased if anyone could follow it though, and let me know if everything makes sense. It is a wiki, so do please fix any typos or factual errors.

I was originally planning to merge this directly into the "Creating Radiant Extensions" article. When I first read that article, it recommended using scaffold :link in the LinksController, but since Radiant moved onto Rails 2 this method hasn't worked. There is a section now in the article called "Hacking a Scaffolded Controller and Views", which I hadn't seen before. I considered deleting that section, and replacing it with the article above, but I wondered if it made the article just too long.

Any thoughts?
