Re: [Radiant] page_attachments doubt
I'm using an older version of page attachments but in my site the images are stored within numbered folders in the public\page_attachment folder. When I first uploaded an image it created a folder called and subsequent uploads create a new folder within there. While the images are referenced in the database, the full path to an image on our site would be something like radiant_path\public\page_attachments\\0273\image1.jpg Sharon This e-mail has been scanned for all viruses by MessageLabs. ___ Radiant mailing list Post: Radiant@radiantcms.org Search: http://radiantcms.org/mailing-list/search/ List Site: http://lists.radiantcms.org/mailman/listinfo/radiant Radiant: http://radiantcms.org Extensions: http://ext.radiantcms.org
[Radiant] Radiant and Custom Page Forms
Hey Everyone, I just started looking into Radiant to use as our team's CMS and it looks pretty cool... you guys have done a great job! My question basically is about whether Radiant supports creating custom admin forms so that someone non-technical could create a page. Something like this scenario that uses the Articles page and its children from the Roasters Template: A person who knows no html/ruby can go into the admin section and create a new Article for a Meeting by just filling out certain fields like Meeting Title( which is technically Page Title now), Date of Meeting, Location, and Description. This would just be simple form without the Page Parts (body, extended). And then a technical person would obviously have to write the main Meetings page which aggregates its children and adds all of the styling... something like this: r:children:each limit=5 order=desc div class=entry h3r:link //h3 -- This could stay as the title -- div class=posted Posted by r:author / on r:date format=%B %d, %Y /em|/emimg src=http://spurrd.com/assets/123/comment.png; /a href=r:url /#disqus_threadComments/aem|/emr:linkRead full article/r:link /div Date of Meeting: r:content part=meeting_date / Location: r:content part=meeting_location / Description: r:content part=meeting_description / /div /r:children:each Is this possible out of the box or will it take a good amount of work to change the model/controller logic behind the scenes? Regardless of the answer we are definitely going to use Radiant on a different project with all technical people. Please let me know if I am not making sense.

Re: [Radiant] Radiant and Custom Page Forms
Check out the scores example in the wiki, it's similar to what you want to do: http://wiki.github.com/radiant/radiant/creating-a-custom-page-type My opinion on these matters is to minimally change the interface, by adding extended parts, not to create a special extension. Check out the user-access levels member extension (http://blog.aissac.ro/radiant/member-extension/), to simplify the admin interface. This may remove a lot of the tech stuff you think is confusing people.

Re: [Radiant] Radiant and Custom Page Forms
Hi Ryan, Unless I am missing something, I think Radiant can meet your needs out of the box with the help of a few extensions. However, I would do this a little differently than you describe for simplicity's sake. I would use the stereotype extension so that every page added under the / meetings page would be created with the necessary body parts (Date, Location, Description, etc...). Now everytime the non-technical user creates a page under meetings, the correctly named body parts are automatically added, and the user simply has to click on the relevant body part and fill in the necessary info. I think there is an extension for building forms and calling them through Radius tags, but I think the method I described above is a little more straight forward and more inline with the overall Radiant architecture. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong. -Fito On Apr 7, 2010, at 11:36 AM, Ryan Ferretti wrote: Hey Everyone, I just started looking into Radiant to use as our team's CMS and it looks pretty cool... you guys have done a great job!
