The minimal model file Colin suggests works fine for access to the database, but I would love it if the scaffold (view, controller, ...) files could be generated as if all the table fields were explicitly used in the generate scaffold command. I know I would still need to modify them, but I would rather not have to add all the fields for all the tables into the various view files. I have found Dr. Nic's magic_model_generator gem, and if I can get it to do what I need with rails 2, which I am still not clear about, then I'll have to see if I can modify it to work with rails 3. Can anybody suggest anything else that will generate a more complete (as in using the fields from the database) set of view and other files?
