[Radiant] Re: Third-party hosting for Radiant 0.9.1
I host several sites with Webbynode. You need to be comfortable administrating your own server. They support their infrastructure but not your app. Heroku is also a good choice, if you don't need an SSL cert, and is a little easier to use. Pete

[Radiant] Re: Error with Paperclip 2.3.12
Looks like a problem with rails trying to autoload a missing constant that's already loaded. You don't mention the version of Radiant that you're using, but the simplest fix is probably to load up the version of Radiant that you're not using (rc 2 or .91) with a default template and using RVM to create a dedicated gem set for testing purposes. Some of the thorniest problems in configuring Radiant are versioning issues involving gem dependencies. Things will get better when Radiant moves to Rails 3. If you're not using RVM, it can be very helpful as it allows you eliminate the gems and gem versions that you might have installed globally for other applications. You could also try posting in the paperclip group (http:// groups.google.com/group/paperclip-plugin).
[Radiant] Re: How can I have a foolproof backup?
1. Back up your production database daily locally and to Amazon S3 using DB2s3 (https://github.com/xaviershay/db2s3). 2. Host your images on amazon s3. 3. Write a deployment script for every step involved in redeploying your application to server. Document gem vesions and sources. Uploading your application by FTP is generally going to be much slower than reinstalling the application at the command line and restoring the database. You will also have to manually fix problems with directory permissions. I use an external service like gmail for application mail so I don't have to worry about backing up and restoring mail archives. -Pete
[Radiant] Re: Mailer extension error when submitting form
I think the radiant mailer extension creates a mail object, which the
actionmailer gem sends. If Actionmailer doesn't write a sent mail
message to the log file ( logger.info Sent mail to
#{Array(recipients).join(', ')} ) and there are no subsequent
Net::SMTP errors, it seems like the issue is in how you've configured
the mailer extension. Be sure the field names in the form and the
email page part line up exactly.
You can try inserting some additional debugging in the mailer
extension to see where the failure occurs (http://jeremyhubert.com/
articles/debugging-in-rails.html) and then tail the development log in
another terminal window.

[Radiant] Re: Mailer extension error when submitting form
I'd start by taking a look at log/development.log and seeing if there's some useful information you can post there. Also, it'd be good to know if the page is actually sending an email before it throws an error. If the mail is being sent, it could be an issue with redirect_to: on the mailer page part. Here's a good tutorial: http://www.banane.com/2009/10/27/radiant-mailer-extension-installation-basics/ Pete
[Radiant] Re: Howto integrate Radiant in existing application
I have a site that's about to launch that runs both Radiant and Spree. I used a shop.domain.com subdirectory for the Spree store and the same graphic theme for both. It appears to be a single application to end- users, and the lack of shared authentication isn't a problem as having two databases for admins and designers is actually useful in compartmentalizing who works on what part of the site. Cheers, Pete
[Radiant] Re: Giving a presentation on Radiant (Boston)
I'd mention that one of the first companies to start producing commercial sites for national brands with Radiant was Digital Pulp in NY, way back in 2008. The fact that the early adopters were talented designers who needed to launch beautiful sites quickly speaks volumes about how easy it is to implement a template in Radiant. It's really great for marketing communications projects. I would consider Radiant to be better-suited for end-users with some design/development skills. There's a podcast (http://radiantcms.org/podcast/) from way back in 2008 with the guys from Digital Pulp. It'd be interesting to give them a shout and see what they're up to today.
[Radiant] Radiant Tags and Tiny Paper RTF Editor
Hail Caesars, Is there a trick to prevent the Tiny Paper RTF Editor from turning Radiant tags into gibberish? I have no problem turning off filters to add a custom tag but it's too much to ask of my end users. For example, entering h2r:title //h2 in the html source editor for Tiny Paper/RTF filter yields this: h2hr title=lt;r:title /gt; / /h2. Seems like somewhere there's a list of reg expressions that the filter knows to escape and radiant tags aren't on the list. Thanks, Pete

[Radiant] Error Creating New Page 0.91 ArgumentError (interning empty string):
Hail Caesars!
I received a 500 Internal Server Error when trying to create a new
page. Looking through the stack trace, the problem turned out to be
that there was no default page.status set in Radiant::Config. I set it
back to draft and all is well again.
Maybe it makes sense to default to Draft in status.rb if no options
are passed to the intialize method? I
Hope this helps somebody.
Peace,
Pete

Hail Caesars, I see how to use the r:if_url matches tag to server content conditionally based on URL, but what about subdomains in the base URL?

I'd like the header image and a few other little details to change, based on subdomain, but this doesn't warrant creating separate sites as most of the content is shared.
