[Radiant] Navigation Menu with Sub Nav
For other noobs like me that are looking at how to create a navigation menu with sub nav, here is an example I created below. I couldn't get r:navigation to do it or the navigation_tags extension to work properly. I'm sure there is a better way to do this so please offer your suggestions on how to do this if you know of a better way. ul r:find url=/ r:children:each r:unless_content part=no-nav r:if_ancestor_or_self r:if_self li class=currentr:link / /r:if_self r:unless_self li class=current with-childrenr:link / /r:unless_self r:if_children ul r:children:each r:if_self li class=currentr:link //li /r:if_self r:unless_self lir:link //li /r:unless_self /r:children:each /ul /r:if_children /li /r:if_ancestor_or_self r:unless_ancestor_or_self lir:link //li /r:unless_ancestor_or_self /r:unless_content /r:children:each /r:find /ul ___ Radiant mailing list Post: Radiant@radiantcms.org Search: http://radiantcms.org/mailing-list/search/ Site: http://lists.radiantcms.org/mailman/listinfo/radiant
[Radiant] Is there an extension for rotating or random images?
I could have sworn that I had seen an extension that would either load a random image or rotate images banner-style, but I cannot find it. I need to to be able to set a random background image for a div each time the page is loaded/re-loaded. Does anybody know what I am talking about? I thought I had seen an extension that would do this one time, but with the serious lack of sleep I am experiencing I cannot find it.

Re: [Radiant] Is there an extension for rotating or random images?
Although it's very specific to Con-way's use case, the banner_rotator extension does just that. A word of caution though -- the image choice will be cached along with the page, so your only chance of a new one is every 5 minutes. Sean N.

I know I'll come off as the guy who turns to the javascript hammer every time he needs a tool to fix a problem -BUT, that'd be a 3 or 4 line implementation with some JS. Or is that out of the question for your purposes? - Joel On May 13, 2009, at 10:07 AM, N.

Maybe it was the banner rotator that I was thinking of, but I don't think I that will work for what I am trying to do. In an ideal world, what I want to do would be this: The css background-image property of a div would use a random image from a directory of images that have completely random names. The client I am building a site for has a Phanfare feed, and I would like to use their images as backgrounds. I was thinking about setting up a cron job to pull images from their feed into a directory on the web server, then randomly choose an image from that directory. Every javascript solution I have seen requires that the images be named samename_#.jpg and and a random number is chosen and added into the filename. That is probably something I can achieve with the radiant random number generator and a stylesheet. I was looking for a more automated solution. Do you know of any javascripts or jQuery scripts that would allow for non-uniform file names? ~Nate ___ Radiant mailing list Post: Radiant@radiantcms.org Search: http://radiantcms.org/mailing-list/search/ Site: http://lists.radiantcms.org/mailman/listinfo/radiant

Actually, it sounds like John Muhl's solution will work best for you - you could even keep it tucked away in a snippet. div style=background-image:r:snippet name=banner /.../div Sean N.

[Radiant] [ANN] admin_data extension
After finding the admin_data plugin, I thought it would be a useful way to view, edit an search for data in a Radiant database. I've written about it here: http://www.saturnflyer.com/blog/jim/2009/05/13/view-edit-and-search-your-radiantcms-database/ And the repo may be found at: http://github.com/saturnflyer/radiant-admin_data-extension/tree/master It inspects your database tables and loads models accordingly. Then, you'll have an interface to view your data outside of the Radiant interface. This might be useful if you want to have more direct access to the data, but not need to use script/console or don't want to reveal it to your clients.

[Radiant] Templates Extension: Important Update
To anyone using Templates extension with Radiant 0.7 or greater: We discovered an issue today which could cause the creation of a child page with a nil parent_id. The scenario is when you create a new child page with a given template, and then change the template before the initial save. In this case the parent_id is lost. We corrected this by updating the switch_templates partial to conform to RESTful routes. So if you are using Template Extension with Radiant 0.7, be sure to pull from master.
