Re: [Radiant] page attachments
Steven, Attachments can be inherited from parent pages. So if you attach an image to your Home page, then it will be available to all pages, layouts and snippets. Page attachments is a bit fussy: when you ask for a file that doesn't belong to the current page (or its ancestors) it raises an exception. It could be dangerous if you were to call r:attachment name=image.jpg/ in a snippet or layout. If that snippet/layout was called from a page which didn't have image.jpg attached, and nor did any of its ancestors, then an exception would be raised, and the page would not render. However, if you attached a image.jpg file to the home page, then it would be available to every page in the site, and the problem above would be avoided. Of course, you could attach an image.jpg file to any section. Then that section, and all its ancestors would use that file instead of the one attached to the home page. Does that make sense? The inheritance mechanism means that you can treat page attachments in a similar fashion to page parts. When you look at it that way, it should no longer seem necessary to be able to attach files to snippets and layouts.

Snippets need images just as much at pages. If a snippet had images maybe pages wouldn't need quite as many. I guess, next your going to tell me layouts don't need attachments either. Sure would be convenient. Steven On Apr 16, 2009, at 1:45 PM, Mohit Sindhwani wrote: Steven Southard wrote: Why doesn't page attachments show up in snippets? Because it attaches to a Page?

Re: [Radiant] page attachments
inherited from parent pages Yeah that makes perfect sense and I'm glad I understand it now. That's useful information. Anyone using textile editor? It's pretty cool but I was thinking the add image could use a little souping up. It'd be nice if when you selected attachments it'd show all the attachments that it inherits. Does that sound useful to anyone else? I keep going back and forth in which is better attachments or paperclipped they both are very useable and surprisingly different.

HI Steven Steven Southard wrote: You mean because the name is page attachments? I think it'd be convenient to locate attachments in snippets too. Snippets need images just as much at pages. If a snippet had images maybe pages wouldn't need quite as many. I guess, next your going to tell me layouts don't need attachments either. Sure would be convenient. I'm sorry if my answer came across as rude/ mean (cut me some slack - it was sent at 2:45AM) - I didn't mean just the name. I meant to imply that it attaches to pages and is designed for that, while snippets often are included in multiple pages and may have different contexts. (I have some times used a single known page as the base referred from snippets). But definitely the explanation that followed my email was better!
