Evolving past scaffolding (new to CI)

[eluser]Unknown[/eluser]
Hello,

In Rails, I liked throwing up scaffolding, then modifying the scaffolding in iterations until it no longer looked anything like the default.

In CI, I like the default scaffolding for getting data into my database, but now I want to move beyond it and start making my own admin areas. However, I'm having trouble seeing the Code Igniter-style way to do this.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks

Jon
