Re: [Radiant] Deployment tips
If you are using mysql, I have written a custom extension that does a lot of what you want. It would need to be tailored a little for your environment, but I could email you a copy of it if you are interested.

I was not able to find much about this in the documentation. Most of the issue is the database. I want to be able update content in a copy of the site running on my development machine. Then, when I'm satisfied everything looks right, dump the database and import it into the production database running on the server. Some content is stored in files. For example, the Page Attachments extension stores uploaded images in files (at least by default). I need to be able to update these files remotely. Are there existing rake tasks for this sort of thing?

Of course, Jamey added a bit about this extension to Summer Reboot: http://wiki.radiantcms.org/Migrating_from_SQLite_to_MySQL Based on this experience, I hope that you can add a bit to Summer Reboot about deployment issues.

Re: [Radiant] Deployment tips
Ooops!! That's what I get for answering e-mails just after waking up! That was actually Christopher Dwan; sorry guys! Errol, you can take a look at the link below to see if that extension helps you any. Cheers Mohit. Jamey Cribbs wrote: Nope. That wasn't me.

Mohit: Thanks for the link. I'll take a look at that. Once I get this site 'live' I'll be happy to document the experience.

[Radiant] Can page_attachments store uploads in database?
I know attachment_fu supports this, but I'm not sure if that means page_attachments can work with it. I wanted to see if anybody knows the answer to this before I spend the time on trial-and-error.

Re: [Radiant] Can page_attachments store uploads in database?
In short, any backend that attachment_fu supports works with page_attachments. The amount of poking around in page_attachments to get it working will vary.

[Radiant] Re: Can page_attachments store uploads in database?
Nate: Thanks for the response. I agree that what you are saying is true. I am trying to balance performance against maintainability of the site. Perhaps you have a better suggestion for what I want to accomplish. I want to be able to run multiple version of the site (one for development and one for production). I understand that radiant has dev and prod 'modes' but this is not really quite what I want. For example I want to be able to edit a page (and its attachments) for somebody to review without modifying the existing production version of that page. I figured that if everything were stored in the database it would make things easier. I would just need to dump the dev database and import it into the prod database when I want to go live with changes. Thanks in advance for any suggesions you might have. John: Thanks -- perhaps I will try this if nobody has a better idea for managing content (based on what I wrote just above). -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. ___ Radiant mailing list Post: Radiant@radiantcms.org Search: http://radiantcms.org/mailing-list/search/ Site: http://lists.radiantcms.org/mailman/listinfo/radiant
Re: [Radiant] Re: Can page_attachments store uploads in database?
Write a capistrano task to clone from staging to production. In the task clone both the database and static assets. It's not much harder than cloning the db. Tar up the assets, copy them to the new location, then untar them. Remove old assets if necessary. Nate On Sep 29, 2008, at 11:53 PM, Errol Siegel wrote: Nate: Thanks for the response.
