I’d be very interested to know how/why you chose Streamlined over ActiveScaffold. Any comments?

I had the same issue as MercedesAMG (trying to get streamlined up and running on a pc).

rake streamlined:install_files

got me through the missing layout issue. Now it seems that there are no default index.rhtml files or that my app can’t locate the default index.rhtml from streamlined.

Dropping a dummy index in gets around the error but eliminates all of the basic streamlined stuff (like the basic CRUD functions)

Any ideas?

MercedesAMG, make sure you’ve run the installer task that copies layouts, JavaScript, etc. to the correct directories:

rake streamlined:install_files

This task is supposed to get triggered on install, but sometimes it doesn’t. When it doesn’t, it has to be run manually.

Is it layout “streamlined”
this is what u have
or

layout ’streamlined’
this is what the streamlined screencast has

[...] …a screencast is easily worth some vast multiple of that. The application shown above is the result of a whopping 5 minutes of effort, and you can see Justin Ghetland it develop even more fully (in a nice iterative fashion) over the course of three screencasts. And once you’ve seen it in action, surely you’ll be ready to try it out first-hand. Check out Matthew Bass’s recent tutorial, and you’ll have your own Streamlined app up and running in just a few short steps. [...]

Thanks for posting this. It helped me get rolling with Streamlined.

Couple of things:

1) Don’t forget to:

a) update database.yml w/ appropriate ‘username’ and ‘password’ values;
b) create (at least) the ‘address_book_development’ database from a MySQL client;
c) run “rake db:migrate” from the command line

before starting up the server & browsing to the application.

2) I couldn’t get this to work on my Wintel box [Ruby 1.8.5, rails 1.2.3, ...], even after deleting the source_cache file and:

>gems update –system
>gems update

For some reason, the plugin wouldn’t install properly …

However, Ubuntu (Dapper Drake), Ruby 1.8.4, rails 1.2.3, etc., all went smoothly.
