[Radiant] Multi-user
We are interested in using Radiant as a true multi-user-and-multi-site platform. Is there anyone interested in taking on this project for us?

Re: [Radiant] Question on copying an install
Thanks Sam. I have not worked with Linode, but have heard good things. I hope this project will give me some exposure to their services. Any suggestions on copying the stuff I need. I guess just SCP? Also, do you have any suggestions on a way for me to stage any changes I make to the clients website so they would have a change to preview them before I make changes on the actual server? I am used to working in a heroku/git environment, so I am fleshing out exactly the best work to make changes to the clients site.

[Radiant] Radiant I18n
Hi, while working on an extension for radiant I found that it lacks certain I18n functionality. The date popup isn't translated, neither is text that is embedded in JS. Eg the more/less on the admin page UI link is bound to have the words more or less in the HTML, otherwise it won't work. Having proper date handling IMO is key for a seamless user experience. I'm working on a patch for the date selector. It'll allow you to translate the names (actually it uses the standard translations already available in rails) and it allows you to set the first day of the week to something other than sunday. The text fragments in JS could be translated using a dynamically generated piece of JS, which overrides default values. Is this something that could be useful for standard Radiant?

Re: [Radiant] Question on copying an install
Mark: Yah, SCP will work fine. No reason to install or use something else when you've got a perfectly good solution out of the box :) As for having a test environment there are a couple different ways you could go about it: 1. Assuming you're using a newer version of Radiant, you can set the dev address in the settings and setup a new subdomain that points to it (say dev.yoursite.com). You can then view the site at that subdomain to see any hidden pages. You'll want to password protect it or perform some sort of authentication to ensure that the public can't see your drafts, and this requires working on the production system which isn't a great idea. It's also limited to new pages, so it's probably not what you want. 2. If you're just doing work in the database you could just use Ruby's `TEST` and `DEVELOPMENT` environments. 3. Probably the best (and simplest) option is to just make a copy of your site / DB on your personal computer and use that. This way you don't have to touch the production server at all when testing and developing. I can't say I've ever used Heroku, but git is always your friend. I'm a firm believer that if a project has more than 0 maintainers it should be in a DVC system. —Sam On Mon, Mar 19, 2012 at 10:42, Mark L. marklockl...@gmail.com wrote: Thanks Sam.
