What does it take to do good blogging in Radiant? Is there a convenient list of what plug-ins are required, templates and so forth? This is one of the things that is very well covered in the Summer Reboot documentation. Seriously, can we just call this the Reboot Wiki or Reboot Documentation or something? The summer is well and truly over. Just a suggestion. Anyway, here is a link to the page: http://wiki.radiantcms.org/Using_Radiant_as_a_Blog That you. That's proven most useful ;-) All we need now is that the template competition include some examples of the fragments of pages snippets and layouts for blogs. Sadly, I see too many such 'competition' that rely purely on the overall looks and not on what it takes to make them work. One can easily - I have - lift one of the free templates (the designs by Andreas Viklund are good examples and I've converted a number to run with Radiant, and find the page_part inheritance a wonderful too that other CMSs blogging engines lack -- http://andreasviklund.com/) and adapt that, but still flounder with the details.

Re: [Radiant] Radiant for Blogin - Shorthand?
Another Blog related question. I'm using KDE/Linux. The browser, Konqueror, has 'shorthand' or 'abbreviations', such as 'cpan', 'jeeves', 'google', 'ggmovie', 'wp' (for wikipedia). It occurs to me that I'm making a lot of references to Amazon in my blog. It would be nice to be able to write amazon:9620102 and have a reference to that isbn or product id. Even better if it also has my Associates ID in there as well :-) There's something like this on Rory Hansen's site http://www.roryhansen.ca/category/ruby-on-rails/ :-( Shame I'm not a programmer :-( The Amazon example is clearly useful. I can think of a couple of others that are marginal like YouTube and Twitter and Flickr. Perhaps a 'configurable' url-abbreviation-expander is the right idea, like in Konqueror. -- Atheism is a non-prophet organization. ___ 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 for Blogin - Shorthand?
If you wrote a simple parameterized snippet (you'd need that extension too), you could easily set things up so that you have: r:snippet name=amazon id=123456789 Some Cool book /r:snippet its not exactly what you want but it would be 80% of the way there!

Not universally available, you need to be an associate, but Amazon offers this, which is done by javascript: https://widgets.amazon.com/Amazon-QuickLinker-Widget Add Quick Linker Widget After you install this widget to your blog or Web Page, you can quickly and easily link to relevant Amazon.com products as you write your blog posts or update your page content by including custom HTML tags as you type. Your Quick Links will have your Associates ID automatically included. Learn more * a type=amzn Harry Potter/a o Links to Amazon.com search results page for Harry Potter. * a type=amzn search=Harry PotterMy favorite hero/a o The link reads My favorite hero and points to a search results page for the phraseHarry Potter. * a type=amzn search=Harry Potter category=booksMy favorite hero/a o Links to a search results page for the phrase Harry Potter, but only in the Books category. o View a list of valid Amazon.com category attributes * a type=amzn asin=B12345I love this item/a o The link reads I love this item and links directly to the specific Amazon product with Amazon id (ASIN) B12345 For some reason the code I used with my associate account at amazon.com doesn't work, but the code with the account at amazon.ca does. Sadly many items aren't available in Canada and many people need to use the USA site.
