[Radiant] Event organizing extension for Radiant

It seems that it would be straightforward enough to extract the ActiveMerchant portion of Substruct and roll it into the extension. I've become rather intimate with Substruct recently, and if I have some time, I might try and do just that. I'll let the list know if I do. -- Tim Gossett ___ Radiant mailing list Post: Radiant@radiantcms.org Search: http://radiantcms.org/mailing-list/search/ Site: http://lists.radiantcms.org/mailman/listinfo/radiant

[Radiant] Event organizing extension for Radiant
Hi Radiant community! I've been working on a Rails app for event/conference organisation - similar in goals to meetup.com, except I want it to be more like a customisable site for conference organisers. It's called Ba and lives here: http://gitorious.org/projects/ba Currently it lets you set up new events (happenings/conferences), sign up users, submit talk proposals, administer fees and promotion codes etc. I'll be adding more admin stuff like set up a program, reject/approve talks, billing etc. What I have not implemented yet is the ability to tweak the layout, add custom pages with semi-static content etc, and it's while researching how to do this that I finally decided to check out Radiant for real. My first impression with Radiant is great documentation and, great community and great code. I still haven't set it up, but will soon (tonight probably). So here is my question to you folks: Would it make sense to refactor Ba (currently a standalone Rails app) to be a Radiant extension for conference/event organisation? Would anyone else be interested in using this? (provided I make it general and useful enough). Even if noone else would use it, do you think it would make sense for me given I want to use Radiant for the CMS parts? We're talking around 10 models and controllers in addition to the Radiant ones, so it would be a fairly big extension. Another thing - I'm currently on Rails edge. Should I downgrade, or is it safe to assume that Radiant will run ok on Rails edge?

Re: [Radiant] Event organizing extension for Radiant
Aslak, Glad to have you in the community! Would it make sense to refactor Ba (currently a standalone Rails app) to be a Radiant extension for conference/event organisation? Would anyone else be interested in using this? (provided I make it general and useful enough). Even if noone else would use it, do you think it would make sense for me given I want to use Radiant for the CMS parts? We're talking around 10 models and controllers in addition to the Radiant ones, so it would be a fairly big extension. We've done our best to make it fairly painless to move an existing application into a Radiant extension. And 10 models/controllers is not that big; the site-specific customizations and additions to the Redken site were around 20-30 models and controllers in a single extension! I say go for it, if you feel Radiant is the right fit. That said, you might be able to appropriate some of Radiant's ideas about how to manage static content into Ba without making it an extension. It's totally up to you. Another thing - I'm currently on Rails edge. Should I downgrade, or is it safe to assume that Radiant will run ok on Rails edge? Sean Schofield converted Spree (which shares some of the same 'guts' as Radiant) to Rails 2.1 over the weekend and I don't think he ran into too many issues. We'll be moving to 2.1 soon.
