[Radiant] Is Radiant CMS right for me?

2010-02-11 Thread cody eilar
Hello,

I am not too familiar with using Radiant nor am I with using a CMS. I am
currently building a webpage that has lots and lots of data in an MS SQL
2005 server (I know). I have build much already using only ruby on rails to
display and edit the data using some various ruby plugins I found for
Microsoft SQL server. This is all grand, but I know that the end-user of
this site will probably want a real easy way to manage these databases and
pages through some type of CMS. Since I am using Rails, it seemed as though
Radiant would be the next logical step in the development process. With that
said here are some issues that I have run into so far with trying to use
Radiant:

   - Databases - How do I integrate the databases I have into radiant?
   Without being able to do this, I can't use Radiant!
   - Authentication - for the site I am building I am using CAS
   authentication and I need to be able to build this functionality into
   Radiant or figure out if I can use the same filters I got when I got it
   working with rails. Also a must-have for this project.
   - The last question I have is that if Rails can interface with MS SQL
   2005, should Radiant also?

If I can figure out these questions it would seriously help me to decide if
Radiant is right for me.

Thanks,

Cody

Hi Cody,

Radiant doesn't care what DB you're using, rails takes care of that.

In order for you to interact with arbitrary tables, you will want to  
write your own extensions. Extensions add normal rails controllers,  
models, views etc. so if you have good rails experience you should  
pick it up just fine.

With regards to CAS authentication, I have no idea.

Great, I figured the solution might have something to do with extensions. I
guess I will run through some tutorials and see what I can do in the
extensions department for integrating my own arbitrary databases.

Thanks Arthur!

[Radiant] htaccess questions

2010-02-11 Thread Tom Stoll
Hi,

I have been trying to set up htaccess in a certain way for some time now. Is
the following possible?

Given:
Radiant installation: /rails/radiant/NAME
domain: website.com
Subdomain set up to point to NAME: NAME.website.com symlinked to
/rails/radiant/NAME (index.html removed from the subdomain's folder)

Type in NAME.website.com and you go to the Rails/Radiant app, and all the
internal links work properly.

type in website.com/NAME, and you get the app, but it has lost its styling
and Rails/Radiant cannot resolve the links.

type in www.website.com/NAME and you get the public_html directory listing.

What I'd like to be able to do is have www.website.com redirect to the
application at the subdomain NAME.

Here are my htaccess rewrite lines. Like I said, they handle the
subdomain-to-app mapping. I'd like to link www to the app or, in other
words, make the subdomain the 'default' and behave like it is sitting in the
public_html folder. My understanding is that this is possible and quite
common, but I can't find documentation that explains this common
functionality.

.htaccess==
RewriteRule ^$ index.html [QSA]
RewriteRule ^([^.]+)$ $1.html [QSA]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
#RewriteRule ^images/.*.(jpg|gif|png|bmp)$ /blank.$1 [NC,L]
#RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ dispatch.fcgi [QSA,L]

setEnv RAILS_ENV production
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.website.com$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.NAME.website.com$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^name.website.com$
RewriteRule ^/?$ http\:\/\/website\.com\/NAME\/ [R=301,L]

Feel free to point out my flawed logic or obvious mistakes. It seems to me
that this should be a simple thing to do.

Thanks,
=tom

are you using the 0.7.1 tag or the master branch? if the latter you
might try switching to the former and running the migrate/update
commands by hand.

Re: [Radiant] Trouble install concurrent_draft extension

I have inherited the project from another developer. I'm not sure I
understand your question, either. I'm pretty sure it was created from
the gem.

And a correction below, it is not running 2.3.5, it's actually 2.1.2
like it's supposed to.

Re: [Radiant] Trouble install concurrent_draft extension

2010-02-11 Thread Andrew vonderLuft
You need to use the 0.7.1 tag of the extension, if you are running radiant
0.7.1
So I don't think you can use script/extension install, but will need to pull
from github.

Re: [Radiant] Trouble install concurrent_draft extension

2010-02-11 Thread john muhl
i meant are you running the 0.7.1 tag or the master branch of the
concurrent_draft extension. if you used script/extension install
chances are you're on master. try this:

cd vendor/extensions/concurrent_draft
git checkout 0.7.1
cd ../../..
rake radiant:extensions:concurrent_draft:migrate
rake radiant:extensions:concurrent_draft:update
