    Hello,

    I've scaffolded and Akelos nicely creates forms for my MySQL tables.
    I want to change the size of the text field that is created for something like "Comments".
    the _form.tpl file that is displaying the form shows:

    <p>  
      <label for="news_comments">_{Comments}</label><br />  
      <?php  echo $active_record_helper->input('news', 'comments')?>  
    </p>  
    

    Where is the active_record_helper? How do I customize this?

    Thank you for any help!

    Hooray!!! - BigTalk

    The Akelos ActiveRecordHelper is located at /lib/AkActionView/helpers/active_record_helper.php

    You can create a MyActiveRecordHelper at /app/helpers/my_active_record_helper.php and extend ActiveRecordHelper.

    BTW, if you use Sintags like

      <%= input 'news', 'comments' %>  
    

    and you have an input() method in one of your helpers it will use your app/helper instead of the core one.
