Question

How do I disable templating and sitemesh for scaffold-enabled controllers? I want to display the full scaffold here, and my main template is screwing with this.

Answer 1

I think you want to rename the layout name used from the scaffolded views. After you did

grails install-templates

you have the template of the generated scaffolded pages (which you might have used, when you did grails generate-all *). In the new folder src/templates/scaffolding/*.gsp change the layout name to something like generatedMain. I guess you know, but just to be sure:

<meta name="layout" content="generatedMain" />

Now restore the orginal main.gsp and rename it to generatedMain.gsp. Then regenerate your scaffolded views using grails generate-all *.

At least, this is the way I did it in a couple of projects 😉
