Why Grails(2.1.0) does not read renderEditor.template?

[igilfanov]

did the following:

1. created an application:  grails create-app myapp
2. transferred to a folder: cd myapp
3. installed templates:       grails install-templates
4. created a domain class: create-domain-class  myapp.Book
5. edited the file myapp/grails-app/domain/myapp/Book.groovy :
package myapp

class Book {
        String title
}
6.created a controller: create-scaffold-controller myapp.Book
7. edited the file myapp/src/templates/scaffolding/renderEditor.template:

private renderStringEditor(domainClass, property) {
        if (!cp) {        
               return "<input  type='text' name='${property.name}' value='\${${domainClass.propertyName}?.${property.name}}'  size='400'  />"
            //return "<g:textField name=\"${property.name}\" value=\"\${${domainInstance}?.${property.name}}\" />"
...
8.  grails run-app myapp

As a result of changes not visible. Works unchanged even when the remote file renderEditor.template.

Hi,

First, your message wasn't accepted by the mailing list, so the vast majority of people on the mailing list didn't see this. If you can go to http://grails.org/Mailing+lists and follow the instructions for subscribing there, your Nabble messages will go through just fine.

As for renderEditor.template, I don't know whether this is still supported. If you can easily reproduce the problem, please raise an issue in JIRA and attach a sample project. It may be a bug.

That said, I strongly recommend that you try out Rob Fletcher's Fields plugin as it is simpler and more powerful.

Regards,

Peter

I also need to override the list of components. This Rob Fletcher's Fields plugin does not support this feature. It is desirable to modify built-in capability. I wonder could it be further unstable work templates?

[igilfanov]

try to establish a consistent:
1. grails install-templates (to be able to edit other templates, such as list)
2. grails install-plugin fields
3. grails install-form-fields-templates (will overwrite the _edit.gsp and _create.gsp)
