@Steve/#3: You can easily render the scaffold into an exististing page element. Say you have a div with id="ext-scaffold-placeholder" style="height: 200px"

Then make the scaffold appear within that div instead of using a viewport:

Ext.onReady(function() { // ... var es = new ExtScaffold.MyScaffoldedClass({ applyTo: 'ext-scaffold-placeholder', // ... }); });

Slick generator. I’m new to Ext JS and just dabble in RoR. Like everything new, it seems to require a steep learning curve (ExtJS) - but maybe not that bad.

I just wonder why you chose to use a single page layout and viewPort? I’d throw something together today using this if I could figure out how to put together a multiple table system (being able to go to multiple “has many” tables from a view). I experimented trying to put together a viewPort from the ExtJS API pages and put the ExtScaffold object in a tabpanel but all I could get to render was the Title and only on the active panel.

You must have something in mind on how to use this for something else other than a slick single table generator? Realizing that a scaffold is just a starting point, could you outline the approach you would take to move into a multiple table system with many relations?
