OK. Here's the deal. I've got an 'account control panel' site, currently written in php and some really terrible javascript. It front ends a bunch of command-line tools on our system: sendmail configuration, disk space, iptables, etc etc.
I'd really like to port this to rails, but I don't want to have to re- create my (dodgy anyway) widget library in something even remotely rails-friendly. (you *don't* want to know what I was thinking when I wrote it...) So, I'll be building a weird little rails app with * no database*. All the data comes from parsed output of random, legacy shell scripts dotted through the system. However, the vast majority of the view side consists of *presenting* the data as record sets that users can CRUD, with the controller doing the heavy lifting of the specific changes. My question for the group: is ActiveScaffold the tool for the job? Can I feed it something other than an ActiveRecord? (or does anyone know if it's possible to subclass ActiveRecord to completely replace the db access with custom routines...) --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "ActiveScaffold : Ruby on Rails plugin" group.
