Re: [Radiant] What does Admin::ResourceController do?
replace admin.page.edit.add(:form, mediamaid_gallery, :before= edit_page_parts) with admin.page.edit.add(:form, header, :before= edit_page_parts) (the name of the partial file without the underscore, or .rb) On Sat, Feb 6, 2010 at 11:17 AM, banane ban...@gmail.com wrote: Hi Christian Not sure quite what your objective is, but a couple things I'm thinking while looking at your code: - the usual thing to do for extensions is not to edit the gem code, but make an extension directory (/vendor/extensions/your_extension) and in that file directory structure, include files that will extend the Radiant code base. So to add to the Admin UI, as I think you want to do, you'd add a haml file in /vendor/extensions/your_extension/app/views/admin/_header.html.haml, and then in the Ruby file that is your extension (/vendor/extensions/your_extension/your_extension.rb) you'd include a line of code that would tell the rendering view for the Radiant admin to include your partial: admin.page.edit.add(:form, mediamaid_gallery, :before= edit_page_parts) This page on the wiki really explains well how to change the Admin UI: http://wiki.github.com/radiant/radiant/modifying-the-page-ui Also, getting started on extensions (written by moi) with a focus on converting ruby apps to Radiant extensions, may explain some of hte basic architecture. http://wiki.github.com/radiant/radiant/how-to-create-an-extension On Sat, Feb 6, 2010 at 8:18 AM, Christian Aust christian.a...@software-consultant.net wrote: Hi all, I'm writing an extension to Radiant that defines new database entities.

Re: [Radiant] Radiant Digest, Vol 47, Issue 11
Christian,
Admin::ResourceController gives you CRUD methods so you don't have to define
them yourself. Methods like :index, :edit, :update, :new, :create, :delete
are built in.
So on a plugin I am working on I only define the show method (controller for a
podcast's Shows) to get a single 'Show' in my podcast...
class Admin::ShowsController Admin::ResourceController
model_class Show
before_filter :find_model, :only = [ :show ]
def show
respond_to do |format|
format.html # show.html.erb
format.xml { render :xml = @show }
end
end
private
def find_model
@show = Show.find(params[:id]) if params[:id]
end
end
Regards,
-Bill

Hi all,
I'm writing an extension to Radiant that defines new database entities. The
docs suggest to let my controller inherit from Admin::ResourceController, to
get a lot of functionality for free. What is that functionality,
specifically?
In particular, I've been confused by that :singular and :plural stuff in
there, what's that? When do I need that?
What's going on with the @template_name and @controller_name variables, what
do I need them for?
As I've mentioned before, Radiant itself is pretty neat, but documentation on
these parts of its public API isn't only lacking but non-existant. That makes
it harder to understand errors like this: My entity is called City, I've
copied all relevant code from Radiants Page view and controller. The edit
haml throws this error:
undefined method `cities' for #Radiant::AdminUI:0x102036be8
Extracted source (around line #1):
1: - render_region :main do |main|
2: - main.edit_header do
3: %h1 Edit City
4: - main.edit_form do
/opt/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/radiant-0.8.1/app/helpers/admin/regions_helper.rb:25:in
`send'

`_run_haml_vendor47extensions47mueller47app47views47admin47cities47edit46html46haml'
It feels like I've got something wrong while copying code, but I can't easily
tell what. Can you? Kind regards,
Christian

Re: [Radiant] What does Admin::ResourceController do?
Hi banane, my code is packaged as an extension, however I stepped through the code of radiant to see how things worked there. Eventually, I followed this tutorial: http://wiki.github.com/radiant/radiant/creating-a-link-roll-extension http://wiki.github.com/radiant/radiant/removing-the-scaffold-from-the-link-roll-extension I created a new database entity that doesn't depend on radiants Page class, but is similar to it in some regards. There's a new UI in the admin section to work with that entity, plus a number of radius tags that make it available to Radiant pages.
