Thanks! This completely solved my problem with column sorting and searching not working with Rails 2.3.4. What a relief!

Hi everybody.
I’ve rails 2.4.3 and isntalled active scaffold, and had all the troubles that were listed above.
Since now, i have only 2 problemas that can’t get them to work.
i have a Bank model with an Agent model (agent has a bank_id column)
when I try to edit, or to make a new Bank, i have the following error.

Could not find ::AgentsController or ::AgentController

I’ve already created AgentsController (scaffolding Agent)

What could i have wrong?
thanks!

When :active_scaffold => true is added to an existing route in routes.rb , routes are added to make search and column sorting work.
Run “rake routes” command and you will see all the routes required for the search and column sorting to function.

Thanks for posting. I was hunting high and low to get column sorting working with Rails 2.3.2 and the routing example finally solved it.

I only had to add “:active_scaffold => true” to get pagination to work. If your list did not paginate then you don’t need it. If your list does paginate then page 2, etc will only work with this addition.

Interesting. I’m not sure why it wouldn’t work for you, I have a sample app working without your modification to routes.rb.

After all these things, the forms will not work still because the get requests won’t be able to find the appropriate method in the controller. An error like this appears in the log.

ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound (Couldn’t find Site with ID=show_search):

For this to work set the active_scaffold flag to true for the resource in your routes.rb as follows:

map.resources :areas, :active_scaffold => true
