Super noob needs help.

[Afg Afg]

I am following video tutorials for rails.

I am a part where i am suppose to write "scaffold :album" inside
admin_controller.

"class AdminController < ApplicationController

scaffold :album
end
"

I did that but i get this error "undefined method `scaffold' for
AdminController:Class"

What is going on? i am running rails 2.3.5

Hi, I would recommend using the following link to learn Rails:

http://guides.rubyonrails.org

Good luck,

Is the tutorial telling you to put that code in the AdminController? It
is my guess that the code is based on a plugin or gem. Have you
included all the proper plugins and gems?

[Ethan Gunderson]

Scaffolding was pulled out into a plugin in Rails 2.0
In order to follow that tutorial, you'll need to install it:

script/plugin install scaffolding

However, that tutorial seems pretty out of date. You might want to
find a newer one.

It says "ruby: No such file or directory -- script/plugin (LoadError)"

Scaffold (in the controller) used to be part of Rails. It was removed
in 2.0. The original poster should find a current tutorial!

Are you inside of your project directory when running that command?

[Afg Afg]

yeah i guess so and i cant find a way to get around it. I am a visual
learner and these videos help me understand better.

He makes the databases manually in cmd. then db:migrate and then he goes
to the admin_controller.rb and put "scaffold :albums" and everything
works. when i do the same thing i get "unexpected action view....."

Can you not install the plugin for some reason? Alternatively, you could always install the version of rails that he is using, which must be a pre 2.0 rails.

Bad idea. Scaffolding is best avoided.

No, please don't do that. Learn the current version of Rails. The
Rails Guides and Railscasts should get you started.

I entirely agree, and we've all recommended the same, but he seems pretty set on using these certain tutorials :)
