Re: [Radiant] The Forum Hunt continues...
That's interesting. I am going to have to integrate a forum into a Radiant site in the near future. I don't think beastly's solution - running Altered Beast as a seperate application - is right for me, though. I am hoping to build an extension based on Altered Beast (unless RForum or El Dorado is a better fit) which will have a pluggable user model (I have a separate table for site users) and where one or more Forum pages can be created, so the forum runs in context and control of Radiant. Perhaps we can help each other out, Mohit. What are your next step going to be, and do you think our requirements are compatible?

(e) Support for multi-lingual messages (UI doesn't need to be) (f) Some support for Integration: modify style sheets, simple recent messages page, a simple user model, etc. Looking around in the non-Rails world, I find that PhpBB is popular but has a bad name when it comes to security and some people say that it is quite hard to integrate with/ change. Another one I stumbled across is called Vanilla and it seems to have a good reputation for a clean UI and ease of integration and support for add-ons. URL: http://getvanilla.com/ Does anyone have any suggestions/ experience to share? It is acceptable for the BBS to run on a separate sub-domain from the Radiant site. There is no need for there to be very tight integration between the two. The last time I had the forum connundrum, I just used phpbb, but I did notice an extension in the registry last night call Beastly (http://ext.radiantcms.org/extensions/22-beastly ) for bringing Altered Beast into a Radiant app. You could try that. That is sweet! I don't yet know if the solution for me will be Altered Beast, but if it works with Radiant, it sure does make me feel better :) Cheers, Mohit. 10/31/2008 | 4:46 AM. ___ 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

[Radiant] Possible to put whole site behind password?
I have a client that is getting some flak from their lawyers about their site (under development) being accessible by the general web. Is there any (easy) way to put the whole site behind a login page? I seem to remember when I wrote a custom extension I had to add a magic line somewhere to keep the extension from requiring a password. Is there any way to force a user login with that same mechanism to view the site?

Re: [Radiant] The Forum Hunt continues...
Hi Casper, Actually, I'm not yet sure whether RForum or Altered Beast meet my needs completely. Casper Fabricius wrote: That's interesting. I am going to have to integrate a forum into a Radiant site in the near future. I don't think beastly's solution - running Altered Beast as a seperate application - is right for me, though. For me, if the forum runs on a separate subdomain, it still works OK. My needs/ requirements are something like this: [1] The most likely scenario currently is that Radiant runs on http://www.example.org/ and the forum runs on http://bbs.example.org/ [2] The second most important thing is likely to be a need to make sure that somehow Radiant and the forum can share the same user authentication method (for Radiant, this would NOT be the admin login to post content) [3] This would most likely be followed by an integration where I add a sidebar in Radiant (so, I'd need to add Radius tags) that will allow us to copy across the 10 most recent posts (subject, title, author, etc.) to the Radiant site's home page (or any other page for that matter). I've done this before using Yabb2 - that site is currently offline, otherwise I'd post you a link. So, what I'd need from El Dorado is a not too complex page of 'most recent posts' and then parse that in on the Radiant side. [4] I'd like to then see if it's possible to add simple things like tags that allow you to search for BBS posts related to the current page in the forum. So, I'm thinking that you could do r:eldorado:search_msg q='form_helper' / and this would find you some posts related to 'form_helper' and if it that comes back in a good easy to parse format, I'd like to show that on the Radiant page. [5] Finally (and this is a big problem), I'd like to see if it's possible to use the 'home page' of the user inside the forum for adding more things - e.g., if he could bookmark something in the Radiant site, it could show up inside this user home page area. This may also be better done as a separate application that provides all the user features and provides authentication for things like posting messages, adding comments, etc. I am hoping to build an extension based on Altered Beast (unless RForum or El Dorado is a better fit) which will have a pluggable user model (I have a separate table for site users) and where one or more Forum pages can be created, so the forum runs in context and control of Radiant. I think this looks like what I may want to do. Perhaps we can help each other out, Mohit. What are your next step going to be, and do you think our requirements are compatible? My main requirements for the forum/ Radiant integration are above. As for the main requirements for the forum itself, well, it doesn't need to be too complicated, but I must say that Vanilla looks super-attractive (I drew my requirements and then I saw the features of Vanilla - it looked almost like they built it for my requirements!)
