Ah-ha.
The challenge with the Settings Extension is that it makes some very
simple assumptions about settings. It's not it's fault, really, it just
can't account for the needs of extensions.
You can use it with SnS but you will run into two issues:
1. SnS enforces validation rules on the settings (for instance you
can't name your js_dir: "\\my new, cool js directory//"). The
rake tasks run setting changes through the SnS::Config class which
validates them. That way you don't accidentally input something
that would break things.
2. SnS loads its config values into memory at startup so that every
time the system needs a setting value, there isn't an extra db hit
required. Changing the db directly, doesn't change the in-memory
version. The rake task changes both.
So, if you use the Settings Extension with SnS, you'll need to:
1. Be careful with your setting names (not an issue for most
developers but I'd be careful opening that up to general users).
2. Restart your application to force SnS to read the db values into
memory.
If that still doesn't work, let me know (we'd have a bug on our hands,
then).

How are you setting this value? Are you using the built-in rake tasks

I think there is no problem with that, BUT - I don't know why my
installation of radiant does not working with default value of
"js_dir" setting. (on all of my projects). Simply, it gives 404 error
:(
When changing this setting to anything else - it works ok :)

And what if I took away that setting an forced you to use the default?
Could you live with that?
Anyone else?

I'm upgrading/fixing/refactoring SnS right now -- partly to resolve
some
issues with 0.8.x and partly to get it ready for 0.9 -- and I could use
some
user feedback...
1. Does anyone use custom values for the SnS settings? These include:
* css_dir
* js_dir
* css_mime
* js_mime
John has suggested I simplify SnS by fixing these values to defaults
(convention over configuration). Would this cause any problems for you
or
your users? Would anyone even notice?
2. Do most of you use SnS Minify along with SnS? Would anyone be
opposed
to my incorporating it into SnS? I don't mind leaving it as a separate
extension but there's no need to make people install two extensions if
we're
all using both.
Thanks,
Chris
