Rename all the files? If we are supposed to use things like generators to save time/work, then we should be able to specify the appropriate parameters.

What about migrations on the database _after_ you generate the scaffold? For example I want to add field4:type to ModelName. I should do: $ ./script/generate migration add_field4 Then open the db/migration/file_that_refers_to_my_migration and write "add_column :model_name :field4, :type" in "self.up" and "remove_column :model_name :field4 in "self.down". Now, do I have to edit ModelName's view in order to be able to edit, show and create a new ModelName entry in my database including field4? Or there's a way to re-scaffold the model migrated? Thanks a lot. Cheers Davide Hi David,
nice tip, thanks.

Saved me several hours++ of wondering, while even a German RoR book here that claims to be RoR2.0 ready, shows old syntax and never gets it straight. Cheers Markus Hi David,

I was having similar problems, and the documentation on this new "feature" is still sparse at best. But now I know what's up with the scaffold. Thanks! Thank you very much for this post!

It looks like <a href="http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/pages/ScaffoldGenerator" rel="nofollow">pre-2.0</a> you could tell it the controller name, but the syntax to the command got totally changed. I think that if you want to scaffold a controller whose model-name is different to the controller's then you need to generate it and then just rename it. I think all you need to change is the filename and the <code>map.resources :foo</code> in routes.rb. (Or maybe not. I haven't tried...)
