[Radiant] using rails_support extension
I have been using the rails_support extension in Radiant 0.6.4. I'm moving a project to Radiant 0.6.7 and Rails 2.02 and I'm hitting problems. Will this extension work with 0.6.7? or is there a better choice to serve rails pages in another extension through radiant layouts? Thanks, Will Emerson ___ Radiant mailing list Post: Radiant@radiantcms.org Search: http://radiantcms.org/mailing-list/search/ Site: http://lists.radiantcms.org/mailman/listinfo/radiant
Re: [Radiant] Which extension to use?
I would second what Jim says. Radiant makes it so easy to write extensions, that if I were you I would just roll my own. I did something similar for event registration. If you make sure to add the public facing route in your extension file, then you can just link to your newsletter signup form from within a radiant page. No need even to have to create any custom radiant tags.

I am not worried about the newsletter part, yet, but I cannot for the life of me figure out which extension I need to use to build and process the sign up form. I have tried using database_form, but there is something wrong with the way it handles the redirect after the form data is sent to the db and I cannot get any of the validation working. I also looked into the form extension from the official list of extensions, but the comment at the top of the readme says that it is very alpha and shouldn't be used. Has anybody set up a form like this in 0.6.7 yet? I am not looking for somebody else to do my work for me, but can anybody point me in the right direction? I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks, Nate Thats on my list of things to do as well. Try the share_layouts extension from the core and build an extension with a controller exposed to the public (ie. not in the admin namespace) and set no_login_required at the top of your controller. Another option is to take a look at the mailer extension (which provides and processes public facing forms). It might give you some ideas about tags that you could create and how to consume the form data. I believe that that is the direction you might want to try, but I haven't tackled it myself yet. -Jim ___ Radiant mailing list Post: Radiant@radiantcms.org Search: http://radiantcms.org/mailing-list/search/ Site: http://lists.radiantcms.org/mailman/listinfo/radiant ___ Radiant mailing list Post: Radiant@radiantcms.org Search: http://radiantcms.org/mailing-list/search/ Site: http://lists.radiantcms.org/mailman/listinfo/radiant

Re: [Radiant] Re: Radiant documentation - summer reboot
Very nice, Mohit. If everyone can approve of this as starting outline for Radiant documentation, I suggest you put into a page in the wiki. Then we can add our names to the sections we would to like write, and add further sections we think is needed.

I wrote an extension for Digital Pulp that lets you import/export several models between the database and the file system so that they can be stored in a SCM. There are a number of other extensions that the DP devs and I have been wanting to export for a while. Although I have a few other things to do this Friday, I'll put that on the to-dos as well.
