[Radiant] [RFC] Extensions as gems
Hi all! This is a request for comments regarding the possibility of packaging Radiant extensions as gems. I am addressing this mostly to those familiar with Radiant internals. Others are welcome to contribute, of course. Is it technically possible to load Radiant extesions as gems, in a manner similar to the way Rails loads plugins from gems? There are several reasons for wanting this: 1. Versioning. Packaging extensions as gems lets us leverage the gem versioning mechanism. This way we would be able to state that Radiant version 0.8 is compatible with a certain extension version 1.2. 2. Management. You could have several versions of the same extension installed on your system, and various projects running different versions of Radiant would just use the one specified. No git submodules or vendoring of extensions needed. This ties into versioning. I would be willing to invest the time in making this happen. Is anyone else interested in seeing this? I anyone interested in helping out? Can anyone point me in a starting direction? Thanks! -- Istvan Hoka ___ Radiant mailing list Post: Radiant@radiantcms.org Search: http://radiantcms.org/mailing-list/search/ Site: http://lists.radiantcms.org/mailman/listinfo/radiant
Re: [Radiant] [RFC] Extensions as gems
Istvan, I am totally for this. Some hurdles we'll have to overcome: 1) Numerous places where files in extensions use a relative path to find config/environment.rb or other files in the gem. This is especially relevant to running tests. 2) Resolving inter-extension dependencies so as to avoid the merb-style dependency hell. The simple solution for this is to strongly suggest that extensions use = version dependencies rather than =. Sean Istvan Hoka wrote: Hi all!

Re: [Radiant] copy move extension install error
it looks like the copy_move extension doesn't have an install task try: rake production radiant:extensions:copy_move:migrate rake production radiant:extensions:copy_move:update or just use ./script/extension install copy_move and let it take care of that for you.

Re: [Radiant] Radiant on IIS possible?
The easy answer for this is to use the typical reverse-proxy to mongrel, thin, or some other Ruby application server. Most web-servers have an option to do that.

Re: [Radiant] Radiant on IIS possible?
You shouldn't have a problem doing it. One of our clients used to be on IIS and SQL Server with Radiant. You'll need to purchase isapi_rewrite from http://www.isapirewrite.com/ or http://www.helicontech.com/isapi_rewrite/ unless there is some other way out there to easily do it now. But it was well worth the money when we had it. At the time we were running versions ranging in 0.5 - 0.6 of Radiant and had IIS as a front end to Mongrel.

Re: [Radiant] Radiant on IIS possible?
In a similar situation, I have done the reverse: run Apache on port 80 and proxy requests to IIS running on another port. The IIS port is protected from ouside access by firewall. Rails applications were running on Mongrel with mod_balancer and managed with the mongrel_service gem to make the apps spin up on reboot. -- Istvan Hoka On Thu, Sep 10, 2009 at 7:04 PM, Sean Cribbs seancri...@gmail.com wrote: The easy answer for this is to use the typical reverse-proxy to mongrel, thin, or some other Ruby application server.

Re: [Radiant] Help with RAILS_ROOT and Frozen Gems
Actually, it looks like an IDE problem (I use RadRails). It would seem that they are incorrectly inferring the application's working directory to be the \vendor\radiant\ directory when launching mongrel.
