paperclipped:
not so easy at the first glance, a bit more work to "just add an
image" but it's better with its central asset management.
and the migration from page_attachment to this is very neat and
built in.
you can access any asset form every page - so central not local
asset management.
what the devs say:
paperclipped is more resource friendly laking the rmagick-
Imagemagick bridge. I cannot give you any details on this, because
our server did the job well with both of them.
Thanks Michael and sounds good.
3. With CSS, I usually link to one master.css in the head and then
import all the other stylesheets into that file.
In my radiant app I:
- created a layout for stylesheets
- created a page for each stylesheet (including the master
stylesheet called styles.css which gets linked in the <head> )
- changed the link for each to be for example reset.css
But my styles do not get applied.
I also tried to place my stylesheets in public/stylesheets and link
to them there but again to no avail.
Where is my mistake? How would you recommend tackling this?
Mh, the later is the way i do it (i like to keep the files in
version control) and i works fine for me, are you sure the paths are
correct?
Something like /stylesheets/yourstyle.css ? You do not need to use
public because (with passenger and using the loca ruby (webrick,
mongrel) server at least) that's already your document root so every
link gets evaluated within public/
Are the access rights corrects?
I tried even a simple rule in the styles.css but it does not get
applied
styles.css is a page with layout: stylesheet and linked in the Normal
layout as /styles.css
6. I've installed radiant as an empty template, but when I go to
create a new page, the default includes "body" and "extended" part.
How do I cancel the defaults so only "body" part appears when I
create a new page?
the parts being created on each page (and the status) are defined by
a config entry. You can manipulate it. Take a look here:
http://wiki.radiantcms.org/Additional_Configuration_Options
you can also install the settings extension (http://github.com/Squeegy/radiant-settings/tree/master
) and then edit it via the admin frontend, paperclipped actually
encourages you to install it.
Using settings and found the config entry. Great :)
7. Lastly, the "Styled Blog" template uses "extended" part and the
Roastes template uses "summary" part to be able to provide a
shorter summary.
Is there any easier way to just show an excerpt on the "Archives"
page?
if i remember correctyl there is an extension to trunkate the
content, am not sure about the name. I think i foudn it at
ext.radiantcms.org.
There is one called "summarize" but the git link and the owner's link
do not exist anymore.
Thanks,
Elle
