+= Nifty Generators
+
+A collection of useful Rails generator scripts.
+
+
+== Install
+
+  gem install nifty-generators
+
+You may need to uninstall the older version if it's installed.
+
+  gem uninstall ryanb-nifty-generators
+
+
+== Usage
+
+Once you install the gem, the generators will be available to all Rails
+applications on your system. If you run script/generate without any
+additional arguments you should see the available generators listed.
+
+To run the generator, go to your rails project directory and call it
+using the script/generate or script/destroy command.
+
+  script/generate nifty_scaffold Recipe name:string index new
+
+
+== Included Generators
+
+* nifty_layout: generates generic layout, stylesheet, and helper files.
+* nifty_scaffold: generates a controller and optional model/migration.
+* nifty_config: generates a config YAML file and loader.
+* nifty_authentication: generates user model with sign up and log in.
+* nifty_admin_scaffold: generates an admin controller and optional model/migration.
+
+To view the README for each generator, run it with the +--help+ option.
+
+  script/generate nifty_layout --help
+
+
+== Troubleshooting and FAQs
+
+<b>What is the difference between nifty_scaffold and built-in scaffold?</b>
+
+One of the primary differences is that nifty_scaffold allows you to choose which
+controller actions to generate.
+
+  script/generate nifty_scaffold post name:string index new edit
+
+There are a few changes to the generated code as well, such as no XML format by default.
+
+It also offers support for HAML, Shoulda, and RSpec.
+
+
+<b>I get "undefined method 'title'" error.</b>
+
+Try running nifty_layout, that will generate this helper method. Or
+you can just change the templates to whatever approach you prefer for
+setting the title.
+
+
+<b>I can't set new attributes in my model.</b>
+
+Add the attribute to the attr_accessible line in the model.
+
+
+<b>I get "undefined method 'root_url'" error.</b>
+
+Some generators default redirecting to the root_url. Set this in your
+routes.rb file like this (substituting your controller name).
+
+  map.root :controller => 'foo'
+
+
+<b>I get a missing database error.</b>
+
+Run <tt>rake db:migrate</tt>.
+
+
+<b>I get a routing error when I try to submit a form.</b>
+
+Try restarting your development server. Sometimes it doesn't detect the
+change in the routing.
+
+
+<b>The tests/specs don't work.</b>
+
+Make sure you have mocha installed and require it in your spec/test helper.
+
+  gem install mocha
+  
+  # in spec_helper.rb
+  config.mock_with :mocha
+  
+  # in test_helper.rb
+  require 'mocha'
+
+Also, make sure you're using Rails 2.1 or greater.
+
+
+== Development
+
+This project can be found on github at the following URL.
+
+http://github.com/ryanb/nifty-generators/
+
+If you wish the generators behaved differently, please consider
+forking the project and modifying to your heart's content.

data/rails_generators/nifty_admin_scaffold/USAGE

@@ -0,0 +1,51 @@
+Description:
+    Scaffolds an entire admin resource, from model and migration to controller and
+    views. The resource is ready to use as a starting point for your restful,
+    resource-oriented application. Tests or specs are also generated depending
+    on if you have a "spec" directory or not.
+    
+    IMPORTANT: This generator uses the "title" helper method which is generated
+    by the nifty_layout generator. You may want to run that generator first.
+
+Usage:
+    Pass the name of the model, either CamelCased or under_scored, as the first
+    argument, and an optional list of attribute pairs and controller actions.
+    
+    If no controller actions are specified, they will default to index, show,
+    new, create, edit, update, and destroy.
+    
+    IMPORTANT: If no attribute pairs are specified, no model will be generated.
+    It will try to determine the attributes from an existing model.
+
+    Attribute pairs are column_name:sql_type arguments specifying the
+    model's attributes. Timestamps are added by default, so you don't have to
+    specify them by hand as 'created_at:datetime updated_at:datetime'.
+
+    For example, `nifty_admin_scaffold post name:string content:text hidden:boolean`
+    gives you a model with those three attributes, a controller that handles
+    the create/show/update/destroy, forms to create and edit your posts, and
+    an index that lists them all, as well as a map.resources :posts
+    declaration in config/routes.rb.
+    
+    Adding an "!" in the mix of arguments will invert the passed controller
+    actions. This will include all 7 controller actitons except the ones
+    mentioned. This option doesn't effect model attributes.
+
+Examples:
+    script/generate nifty_admin_scaffold post
+        
+        Will create a controller called "posts" it will contain all seven
+        CRUD actions along with the views. A model will NOT be created,
+        instead it will look for an existing model and use those attributes.
+    
+    script/generate nifty_admin_scaffold post name:string content:text index new edit
+        
+        Will create a Post model and migration file with the name and content
+        attributes. It will also create a controller with index, new, create,
+        edit, and update actions. Notice the create and update actions are
+        added automatically with new and edit.
+    
+    script/generate nifty_admin_scaffold post ! show new
+        
+        Creates a posts controller (no model) with index, edit, update, and
+        destroy actions.
