Hi Marnen, You'll probably unsurprised to hear that I ran into problems following http://activescaffold.com/tutorials/getting-started. Let's take just one:
Getting Started says: ============================= 2. Add this to your layout: <%= javascript_include_tag :defaults %> <%= active_scaffold_includes %> ============================= I've got a bunch on layouts in app\views\layouts, in particular: - expenses.html.erb, where I'm particularly interested in handling with Active Scaffold - standard.html.erb, which sounds important but I'm not aware that my app uses it - some-other-file-I-know-of One other question: I stumbled on an alternative guideline on the A.S. website for employing Active Scaffold functionality. This guideline offered macros for insert A.S linkages into a Rails app. But I inadvertently lost the URL for those instructions. I'd like some kind soul to point me to them. I posted these questions on http://groups.google.com/group/activescaffold/topics, but its awaiting admin. approval before being displayed. Hence this post in this thread. Any ideas are most welcome.
