I don't know how to solve that, except that links should be absolute

absolutizing URLs, which I know from experience is very sketchy.


Is there a build in way producing absolute urls in Radiant?

r:find url=/de/preiser:url//r:find

does not yield the desired result :-(

Re: [Radiant] Noob question: how to add Radiant to existing project?

2009-03-19 Thread Tim Glen
If you want a more detailed discussion of the benefits and caveats  
of each, let me know.  Mountable apps are in the near future for  
Rails, so you may see Radiant do that eventually.


If that becomes an actual goal, Sean, I'd love to help out. For me,  
not being able to integrate Radiant into an existing app (rather than  
the other way around) has been my biggest mind-hurdle in getting  
going with it.

[Radiant] Automating New pages

2009-03-19 Thread Anton Aylward
I'm sorry this isn't a very precise question, but I'm also searching for
ideas.

I'm trying to automate a site.  The use of CMS rather than crafted pages
is great, and would be better if I could get the staff concerned to use
Textile instead of their buggy html or importing html from Microsoft word!

But what I'd really like is some way to create new pages without them
actually having to log in.  A sort of shell script QA session.  I
realise it will need a lot of development, and I'd appreciate ideas.

Templates are good, if I can figure out creating page parts.

One of the problems I'm looking at is how to figure out the appropriate
parent page.

It is possible to use Win32OLE + Word Automation + a well-written Word 
document to create pages using scripts that run in your Radiant 
application's script directory to insert pages into the CMS.


I did just that to create most of the pages on this site: 
http://www.t-engine.info/en/spec - entire specifications were inserted 
(currently a total of about 500 pages) after extraction from the Word 
documents.  Of course, it requires that the Word document follow a set 
of rules (like Headings are of the style Heading 1, Heading 2, etc.) and 
if there are special styles used, your script needs to consider that.  
But, it is not very difficult (a bit difficult, not VERY difficult) to 
do.  I created scripts to generate the Textile from the Word documents.  
If you can't run all of it on Windows, you could even do something like 
extract on a particular Windows PC to files and have scripts that insert 
these files into the CMS.


Does this sound like something you would want to do?

As for figuring out the appropriate parent page, hmm.. well, in my case, 
it was easy.  I designated a starting page and then followed the 
hierarchy of the Word document.


Cheers,
Mohit.
