First, the front will be one of these two (ignore the slight difference in colors): http://seancribbs.com/page_attachments//0085/radiant-shirt-text.png http://seancribbs.com/page_attachments//0087/radiant-shirt.png I like the first design, but I would move the text to be under the gem, and make the gem a little larger. Second, John suggested putting a pithy saying on the back of the shirt -- especially if we use the large gem in the center front. Radiant CMS (x-ray vision not included) was his suggestion. I'd appreciate some more input on that (or if you want a blank back). I vote for a blank back. Although shown on black, the shirt could possibly be charcoal as well. I have a black Firefox shirthttp://store.mozilla.org/product.php?code=MZ11044catid=9offset=7made by American Apparel that's extremely comfortable. I think it's made of a nice pima cotton, and it's not paper thin. Have any such decisions been made for a Radiant tee? -- Tim ___ Radiant mailing list Post: Radiant@radiantcms.org Search: http://radiantcms.org/mailing-list/search/ Site: http://lists.radiantcms.org/mailman/listinfo/radiant

I want to have them available before the Sprint weekend so I can sell them or give them to attendees. If I go with a certain vendor I'm considering (storenvy.com), we might be able to have an online store too.

[Radiant] Email/subscriber validation issues with subscriber_lists extension
Hey guys, I am using the subscriber lists extension (thanks nelstrom, I love the CSV export) for creating a contact us type of form. The problem is that when somebody signs up with an email address that is already in the db, the information gets overwritten with the newly submitted data. I am not exactly sure how to add a check against the db to find out if an email address is already there, and then return an error message that tells the user so. Can anybody give me some pointers on how to add that into the form process action? Pastie with the action from the subscriber_list_page model: http://pastie.org/288758 Mucho, mucho garcias. ~Nate ___ Radiant mailing list Post: Radiant@radiantcms.org Search: http://radiantcms.org/mailing-list/search/ Site: http://lists.radiantcms.org/mailman/listinfo/radiant
Re: [Radiant] Radiant T-Shirt design - Please give input!
Okay, thanks for all of your responses. I'm going to order today, going with the left-front pocket area, logo with the text, nothing on the back. The first round of shirts will be black, but we may have other options (including other designs) if the demand is enough.

I'm not sure if I understand you correctly, but Contact us is not the use case I had in mind when I made the subscriber lists extension. It is more appropriate for a Sign up to our mailing list type of scenario. (Such as demonstrated here: http://westportbookfestival.org/) If you want a Contact us form, I think the Mailer extension could be a better fit. http://github.com/radiant/radiant-mailer-extension/tree/master I'll answer the rest of your mail assuming that a Sign up to our mailing list scenario is what you actually want... The subscriber_list extension does not handle sending mail from the server, so there is no verification step. (e.g. sending an email to the submitted address, with an activation link.) If you need that functionality, try out Andrea's newsletter extension: http://github.com/pilu/radiant-newsletter/tree/master The subscriber list extension is basically a plagiarized newsletter extension, with the mailing functionality removed. I couldn't get the newsletter extension to send mail through a gmail account. Although I would be willing to try again since I discovered this: http://github.com/caritos/action_mailer_tls/tree/master The problem is that when somebody signs up with an email address that is already in the db, the information gets overwritten with the newly submitted data. If an email is submitted to the form, it is added to the list immediately. Without verifying that the email address submitted belongs to the person who submitted it, Without a verification step, the case of one email being submitted more than once is difficult. You could either: * Add all details to the db each time they are submitted, regardless of whether they have been submitted before or not (potentially leading to duplicates) * Check if an email has been added already, and ignore any form submissions if the email address supplied is already in the db * Check if an email is already in the db, and if it is, use the details supplied in the form to update the details of the entry already existing I settled for the last of these, although none of them are really satisfactory, because you don't know (without a verification step) whether the person submitting the form is the true owner of the email address. Verification is clearly the best-practice, but as an extra step in the procedure, it can be seen as a deterent. And so clients often prefer to have a simple one-step signup, despite the problems it can cause. I am not exactly sure how to add a check against the db to find out if an email address is already there, It already does this (line 9 in your pastie): @subscriber = Subscriber.find_by_email_and_subscriber_list_id(parameters[:email], self.id) Here is the relevant section of code, annotated with comments: http://pastie.org/289009 That should help you out, if you want to modify the behaviour.

[Radiant] Re: Need a little more newsletter_extension help
On Thu, Oct 9, 2008 at 9:38 PM, Nate Turnage [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Can somebody tell me what magical incantation I need to put in my environment.rb to get the 2.2.2 will_paginate gem working? Sorry for the noise. I just used the tar archive and it worked. It looks to me like I have set things up for data collection the way I want it to work, but now I have an issue with validation. At the top of the form in the subscribe tab on the newsletter page these tags are present: r:newsletter:if_form_errors All fields are required /r:newsletter:if_form_errors Can anybody tell me where in the various files in the extension a form built on that page runs it's validation checks? I have looked in every file, except the tests, for some clue as to what would make that tag visible, but I cannot find anything. There is no mention of it in the tags available for the page. Honestly, I cannot figure out which controller and model combo even processes the form. I can figure out how the admin side of the extension works (for the most part), including where the validation happens, but I don't understand how the info is validated and processed on the client facing side. If anybody could give me some pointers on this, I promise that I will do my best to write up some documentation on the summer reboot site about how this extension works. In fact, I will also document my experience with the subscriber_list (based on newsletter) and database_form extensions as well. Adding the seemingly simple sign the guestbook type of functionality to a Radiant site is a deceptively complex task and I will do my part to try and reduce the pain in the process. But first, I must conquer this newsletter extension. Any help is of course greatly appreciated and I will light a candle in your honor. In fact, I will light two. I am a desperate man.
