*****If AS depends upon my route then it might be useless for what I'm doing AS does not depend on your route... It tries to do nice things for you depending on your route, but it doesn't have to do those things.
Inside of your controller you can specify the conditions for the records... def conditions_for_collection end There is an example here http://wiki.github.com/activescaffold/active_scaffold/api-list The way AS is written you can override almost anything that you want so you should be able to do all of the admin stuff you want using it. It might be frustrating at first but once you have it figured out for one controller you will know how to do it for the rest. ~Kenny On Mon, Feb 1, 2010 at 11:39 AM, Brian Cardarella <[email protected]>wrote: > Ah, useless is not the best choice of words.
