I've written a new article for the wiki, which follows on from the

how to remove the scaffolding from your extension, and style it so
that it looks more like it belongs in Radiant. Find it here:
http://wiki.radiantcms.org/Radiant_extensions_without_a_scaffold
I would be very pleased if anyone could follow it though, and let
me know if everything makes sense. It is a wiki, so do please fix
any typos or factual errors.
I was originally planning to merge this directly into the "Creating
Radiant Extensions" article. When I first read that article, it
recommended using scaffold :link in the LinksController, but since
Radiant moved onto Rails 2 this method hasn't worked. There is a
section now in the article called "Hacking a Scaffolded Controller
and Views", which I hadn't seen before. I considered deleting that
section, and replacing it with the article above, but I wondered if
it made the article just too long.
Great stuff here Andrew. Why don't you merge this with the original
tutorial (delete the Hacking section), but make your article a "Part
2" on a separate page. That way it will complete the original
tutorial.
Thanks John. I've split the original article in two, as you suggested:
http://wiki.radiantcms.org/Creating_Radiant_Extensions
http://wiki.radiantcms.org/Creating_Radiant_Extensions_B
I put the controller, view and route stuff into the first part of the
article, pushed the "Creating custom tags" stuff into the second part,
and finished off with the CSS and images to make the admin area look
more like part of Radiant. I've removed Bill's section on hacking a
scaffold.
I still need to update the screenshots, but I'll get round to that
later.
Cheers,
Drew
