I'm planning on starting a component-type (borrowing the term from Joomla, with which I'm more familiar with) project and wondering if it could be done inside Radiant as some sort of custom page as opposed to making it from scratch based on the ruby and rails books. I'm quite new to both Rails and Radiant but since there's no tight deadline, I'm figuring it would be okay to learn as I go along.
First: the component would be a sort of inventory & product description set of pages in which each product and each view (e.g. list products) would have their own page. Basically a tree-like hierarchy although in some cases externally (to the visitor) there would be several parents to a single page, I'm sure this could be made with sidebar linking or some such solution, therefore I'm inclined to ask if it can be done? (in essence having specialized pages that include information from a database, just like php-includes in otherwise static pages). The page caching is no problem in this case as the information will change so rarely as that the 5min cache will have no detrimental effect. Secondly I read through most of the Radiantcms site and several extensions piqued my interest, I have to ask (I expect they can't, but still no harm in asking if someone has tried): - Are the multi-site hacks and multi-language hacks compatible with Radiant 0.63? - Has anyone used multi-site and multi-language hacks combined so that under one radiant installation there are several sites some of which have multiple languages? If so, any problems or issues I should be aware of? - If the above can be done, can different users have different access level to different parts of the administration hierarchy? I mean, if a radiant installation has three sites, and user 1 would be allowed to post/modify articles in one of them, but not all three? Any insights appreciated, sorry for the long post - I tried to cram all the questions bugging me into one mail.
