Description

« Hide

Refactored the scaffolding code to render the form to a _form.gsp file and have both create.gsp and edit.gsp refer to the same form.

So now create.gsp and edit.gsp will have there <g:render template="form" ... /> tag to render the form instead of producing a html form for each of the file.

The _form.gsp template is missing from this patch. Can't apply.

This is a good suggestion, however it would be even better if the set of scaffold-able GSPs wouldn't be limited to "list.gsp", "show.gsp", "create.gsp" and "edit.gsp".

As a result, we would be able to customize the scaffolding templates more fine-grained and elegantly using view templates. Also, no changes to the Grails source code would be necessary to apply the behaviour suggested in this issue. It would be only a matter of changing scaffolding templates ("edit.gsp", "create.gsp") and adding new ones ("_form.gsp").

+1 for Benjamin Klum

However, I think the idea is already on the roadmap indicated by 'Refactor scaffolding to make it more pluggable and extensible '

This JIRA (http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GRAILS-2906) has a patched file that addresses Ben's suggestion.

If people are brave, they can do the following (it sounds worse than it is).

1) Download grails source
2) Get the patched file from the JIRA listed (tested w/1.0.2)
2a) If you are using 1.0.3 and package names for your domain objects you need to merge the file
3) Compile the grails-crud jar from the source
4) Run grails install-templates
5) Add/remove/rename any of the gsp files in the {PROJECT_DIR}\src\templates\scaffolding directory
6) The generate-views script will now pick up and use the new set of gsps

OR for 1.0.2 users only

1) Grab the jar attached to the JIRA and put it in {GRAILS_HOME}/src
2) Run grails install-templates
3) Add/remove/rename any of the gsp files in the {PROJECT_DIR}\src\templates\scaffolding directory
4) The generate-views script will now pick up and use the new set of gsps

Sorry that should have been {GRAILS_HOME}/dist
