I've been working with Ext since V0.33 and it works great with rails. see my blog http://www.extonrails.com and this guy too: http://www.extjswithrails.com I once wrote an extensive ruby framework of wrappers for Ext1.0 which I abondoned when Ext2.0 was released.

I tried out a simple model and it worked fine. Do you have any association support among forms in the future? Thanks, Luan Hi Martin,

Thanks for ext_scaffold plugin. I tried out a simple model and it worked fine.

Do you have any association support among forms in the future?

Thanks,
Luan

I just have a couple of things to look at in my <a rel="nofollow" href="http://rug-b.rubyforge.org/svn/ext_scaffold/TODO">TODO list</a> and should be ready to release a first version by the end of next week. If you would like to try out the cell-editing, I would surely love to to integrate your solution. Any contribution is of course most welcome. Then again, you are definitely right stating that a scaffold generator can only provide a starting point and perhaps point out some best pratices on how to proceed. @#7/Tom: Good to hear that the generator will be given a thorough test ;-) .

Thanks for the great plugin, Martin! However, I agree with Miguel as well - it would be nice for it to make use of cell-editing capabilities of Editable Grids. I really want to use this plugin for my new project, so I'll try to modify the generated code to see how easy / difficult it is to achieve it. On the other hand, perhaps I shouldn't expect too much from a scaffold generator - there will always be features that are needed to meet a particular business requirement, so it might be better for generators like this to stay simple. When do you plan to have this as an official Rails plugin? Are you / will you be looking for contributors as well? I’d like to join the chorus for applauding your work.

I expected a double-click in the list to give me the edit panel, instead of the show. I was able to customise the widths of the columns, but was unsure for the best way to pipe in the autoWidth:true to Ext.grid.ColumnModel. It worked when adding it to the helper but not in the index.html.rb 'recording-grid', :autoWidth =&#62; true %&#62; This is mostly because I'm a newby to rails and haven't quite grokked how it all fits together. I also found that some settings I fiddled with stayed set in the browser, so I'm guessing if the user adjusts the column width it gets remembered. This might be confusing for iterative UI design. Resetting the browser doesn't work, you have to quit it. Nevertheless, I'm excited for the new GUI tools this plugin makes possible - keep up the great work. George It worked out of the box for me.

The looks of the ext grids are great. But imho, their real potential lies in their cell editing capabilities. It seems then odd to edit records via a form. Good job!

The helpers will be put into one central file within the plugin before the official release - got that on my refactoring TODO list :-) @#2/Some guy: The generator will leave existing models alone, so you could potentially generate controllers/views for existing resources but would have to merge the controller code manually.
