Rails 3.1 - changing default scaffold views and template

Question

I'm using rails 3.1 with Zune Foundation templates and haml. I have tried to fiend ways to change the default scaffold view templates to use css I want so I get a consistent look with all scaffold without manually changing the view. I also use simple_form.

As I don't want to program my own generators, is there some easy and/or recommended ways to handle this?

You can override default view templates by creating your own templates in 'lib/templates/erb/scaffold' folder of your rails app.

  lib/templates/erb/scaffold/_form.html.erb
  lib/templates/erb/scaffold/edit.html.erb
  lib/templates/erb/scaffold/index.html.erb
  lib/templates/erb/scaffold/new.html.erb
  lib/templates/erb/scaffold/show.html.erb

The default templates can be found here - https://github.com/rails/rails/tree/master/railties/lib/rails/generators/erb/scaffold/templates
