I installed activescaffold in order to get an administrative backend "for free" but I'm not really sure how to set it up to do what I need.
Seems like activescaffold is supposed to work against controllers named for the object they control, i.e. replace my ProductsController based on my model object "Product" with a call to Active_Scaffold :product. But if I do that, where do I put the code that I am using now to show products to customers? The scaffold views are great for letting me update stuff on the backend, but I obviosuly don't want customers changing or even viewing a lot of the data that is exposed by active scaffold. I know I can create an "AdminProductsController" that only admins can access, but this will only surface data from the products table, and doesn't work for related tables like "supplier" unless I dump the controllers for those objects as well. So I guess my question is, what's the right way to create "customer facing" pages as well as "administration" pages against the same set of objects? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "ActiveScaffold : Ruby on Rails plugin" group.
