Re: [Radiant] Make extension objects reload between requests

[Jeff Casimir]

I'm a novice at extension authoring, but in my experience the code
gets reloaded every second refresh.  No explanation why that'd be
(Chrome + 0.9.1 + Mongrel), but it works for me.

 Are Radiant custom extension controllers, models, etc. supposed to reload
 between each request like regular Rails objects in development mode or not?

 Rails sees Radiant extensions as plugins, not engines or native application
 entities. They won't get reloaded unless you take steps to make it happen.
 If you take a look at the PageFactory extension, I'm doing something along
 those lines:

 Dir[#{path}/*_page_factory.rb].each do |page_factory|
   if page_factory =~ %r{/([^/]+)\.rb}
     require_dependency page_factory
 ActiveSupport::Dependencies.explicitly_unloadable_constants 
 $1.camelize
   end
 end

 I'm 1) registering my own classes with ActiveSupport's dependency mechanism,
 and 2) telling ActiveSupport that these need to get reloaded between
 requests.
 Hope that helps,

Re: [Radiant] Need help with Compass configuration for Radiant

[William Ross]

You shouldn't need any special measures. Have you tried just putting 

  @import compass/css3

At the top of one of your sheets? On edge that should just work.

Best,

Will



Please excuse speling. Fat thumbs.

 Radiant 0.9.1 (vendor'ed)
 SNS extension
 
 I'd like to take advantage of various Compass Sass features within my Radiant 
 layouts (e.g. border-radius, etc.).
 
 Compass initialization file:
 
 I pulled down the radiant/config/initializers/compass.rb file from Github and 
 placed it into vendor/radiant/config/initializers
 require 'compass'
 require 'compass/app_integration/rails'
 Compass::AppIntegration::Rails.initialize!
 Compass configuration file:
 
 I took a compass.rb from another (non-Radiant) project and placed it in 
 vendor/radiant/config.  I changed the paths based on my current settings for 
 the SNS extension:
 # This configuration file works with both the Compass command line tool and 
 within Rails.
 
 # Require any additional compass plugins here.
 
 project_type = :rails
 project_path = Compass::AppIntegration::Rails.root
 
 # Set this to the root of your project when deployed:
 http_path = /
 css_dir = css
 http_stylesheets_path = /stylesheets
 sass_dir = stylesheets/sass
 images_dir = public/images
 http_images_path = /images
 javascripts_dir = public/javascripts
 http_javascripts_path = /javascripts
 environment = Compass::AppIntegration::Rails.env
 # To enable relative paths to assets via compass helper functions. Uncomment:
 # relative_assets = true
 I @import compass/css3/border-radius in my Radiant-managed CSS (Sass) file, 
 but cannot use the +border-radius mixin within my CSS.
 
 What am I doing wrong?
 
 Many thanks,
 Wes Gamble
