Hello all (and especially Mohit),
Hello Drew (and everyone)
A couple of weeks ago I started work on the article "Using the
built-in tags" for the Summer Reboot. My intention was to go over a
handful of Radius tags which carry out 'typical' functions, such as
inserting content, changing scope, showing content on condition
that... etc. I'm trying to illustrate how the various tags work by
providing examples, often using a fake site map.
I had thought of creating a simple sample DB that we could use for this
purpose. If there's interest, I can hammer something out this weekend.
I have recently learned how to extract out content from a Word document
- splitting at every Heading 1, Heading 2, Heading 3, etc. to create a
bunch of textile files that can be inserted into Radiant. I could use
something like that if need be.
Well, the article has grown rather large, and so I have decided that
it is appropriate to branch it into a series of shorter articles:
http://wiki.radiantcms.org/Introduction_to_Radius
http://wiki.radiantcms.org/Tags_that_insert_content
http://wiki.radiantcms.org/Tags_that_change_the_scope
http://wiki.radiantcms.org/Conditional_tags
*snip*
I think the re-organization makes sense. I'm just thinking if it's
better to consider posting this whole thing into a separate chapter.
Let's see how much stuff goes into it. If there's a lot, we'll do that
later.
This is great. I had written up something on inserting dates - I'll
find the correct section and post it in. Currently, it's at:
http://notepad.onghu.com/2007/9/10/radiant-cms-showing-the-date-of-articles
If anyone has time to proof my articles, I'd be glad to hear any
feedback. Especially if you are new to Radiant, because you are the
target audience for this set of articles. If you already have
experience using Radius tags, perhaps you can read with a view to
finding mistakes.
If no one else gets to it first, I shall do so this weekend.
Last weekend, I finally got back to using Radiant for a site that I've
wanted to for a very long time, and was very happy to see that the
Summer Reboot documentation really helps! I've also got code now that
helps you insert pages automatically using Ruby into a Radiant install
(thanks Saji!) but the actual code is a real mess. Once I clean it up a
bit, I can publish that as reference for anyone who may need it - and
also into the wiki under 'Advanced' uses.
Cheers,
Mohit.
