Many thanks for your efforts. This really is an excellent plugin – especially the addition of totalling on columns. Many thanks for your efforts.

One quick point, though - this doesn't play nicely with autotest. Copying the files over in init.rb prompts autotest to retry the test, which re-initializes the plugin, which re-copies the files, etc etc. So any test failures are repeated over and over again until they pass.<br/><br/> I got around this by altering init.rb to not copy any files unless app/views/ajax_scaffold doesn't exist, but obviously this isn't ideal - it won't copy over any new files if the plugin is updated, for one thing.

The ajaxscaffold plug-in is excellent! Is there some reason assosiations are not picked up automatically generating a select element in the form. The options in the select would have the foreigns ids and if the content would be a problem, just getting the to_s of the object would be a good solution. Yes, I'll show a useless object pointer untill to_s is implemented, which is trivial. Thanks and please keep with the good work! Excellent! The ajaxscaffold plug-in is excellent!

We won't get to autogeneration soon enough but we'll be ramping up in that direction by at least making adding relationships a bit easier. For now you just have to override _form.rhtml. <br /> You can sort a column either in SQL or in memory. You want to do the latter so just specify the :sort option in your ScaffoldColumn definition. If you had User.tasks, then you'd want the value of :sort to be "tasks" @Pupeno: Associations are a sticky topic, but are also the number 1 thing on our list (besides fixing bugs).
