Re: [Radiant] Radiant for Bloging - page_edit_dates
I've been converting my old Rail-Typo blog to a Radiant Blog. I realise that software written specifically for blogging will have many features built in that will have to rely on plugins with a general purpose CMS. But I really, really like Radiant. Perhaps too much. Some of the conversion went well and I relied on the 'page_edit_dates' to apply a revisionist policy and make the old articles look like they were old articles. Well that used to work, but now it doesn't. I have pages that I've edited the 'published at' date on successfully. Since then I've played with other extensions adding and deleting. Now when I add a page and try setting the 'published at', and saving, I find its been reset to the original date. I've tried cache-clearing but don't know what other avenues to try. Yes, the it used to work but now it doesn't problems are the worst! -- The improvement of our way of life is more important than the spreading of it.

Re: [Radiant] Re: [Radiant-Dev] Re: Radiant 0.7.0 release candidate 1 available
Sean Cribbs said the following on 12/10/2008 01:22 PM: Anton, Radiant 0.7.x will be ActiveResource compatible, i.e. having a simple XML/JSON REST API. Any other APIs will need to be supported by extensions. While the roadmap says 0.7 is the blogging release, we are incrementing the version number without necessarily moving forward the feature set toward those goals. We feel the internal refactoring represents enough of a significant departure from previous versions to warrant the new number. This is what I mean when I say we've been slavish to the roadmap in the past - that we need the version numbers to more adequately reflect the amount of progress, not some externally-determined feature set. That's OK, just asking. I'm glad that the internals are getting a work-over. Things can only grow so much on a certain size of 'skeleton'. In many ways software is more like a crustacean than a mammal in having an exoskeleton that can limit its growth.

Re: [Radiant] Radiant for Bloging - link_roll question(s)
I've installed the link_roll extension and have a couple of questions.
I see in the code that the model expands the tag r:links:each:link / to
%{a href=#{link.url} title=#{link.description}#{link.title}/a}
In most blogs that would be something like a bullet list in the sidebar.
But when I create a link_roll link in the admin I notice that while the
'title' is a single line, the 'url' and the 'description' are text areas.
If this was a page I can imagine long pieces of text about the link
(which is often a good idea), but not in a sidebar.
And why a text area for the URL? Why not a scrolling single line field?
Am I missing something here?
So I went back to experiment. What if I put multiple lines in the 'url'
text area?
Well, what I got was a 500.

[Radiant] Dreamhost says Passenger ignores ENV
I've been trying to get Jason Garber's RedClot4 extension to work on my Dreamhost account. Dreamhost support tell me that Passenger ignores environment variables. IS THIS REALLY SO ? OK, so having GEM_PATH set in my .bash_profile would be ignored, then and so all the stuff about local gems would be pointless. So what I did instead was put the ENV settings in config/environment.rb This makes them inside and not imported from the environment. That didn't work either. Dreamhost support told me That still doesn't work, unfortunately, ANY environment variables do not work within passenger. It's not possible to get custom environment settings within passenger working. This does not make sense to me. This isn't within Passenger, this should be the ruby code itself. I'm now at a complete loss. Dreamhost suggest using fcgi instead of Passenger. Can anyone confirm this shortcoming of Passenger? Can anyone account for why ? I find it hard to beleive that Passenger ignores all of ENV. This http://craigjolicoeur.com/blog/2008/11/set-rails_env-for-phusion-passenger-on-dreamhost/ seems to imply that settings in config/environment.rb work. I also note that Dreamhost's own documentation at http://wiki.dreamhost.com/Passenger seems to contradict what support tells me: A couple of technical notes ... * You can use your local gem repository if you set ENV['GEM_PATH'] = 'path-to-your-gem-repository' in the config/environment.rb file. The same path should be set in shell's environment variables GEM_HOME and GEM_PATH so you can use the gem program to install/upgrade your own gems.

Jason I'll ignore your comments about people my age since I'm battling trying to get openSUSE to recognise work with Passenger (thought this isn't reason to give up and go back to Mandriva) and simply ask you to supply details on all of the above, references to github (etc) Some of the younger people at associations clubs whose sites I have put up on hosting services seem daunted by the idea of editing in a CMS, whereas the old timers just see it as another web interface, no different from gmail or whatever. YMMV. The older people also seem better at coming up with relevant (aka non-gossipy) content and their grammar is better :-) But lowering the threshold of access is always a good thing! -- Results!

Simon Rönnqvist said the following on 11/20/2008 02:48 PM: OK, sounds like you did a pretty thorough comparison of the two. Personally I just picked Markdown cause it seemed easier to teach my clients doing ## than h2. And also a few other things seemed more simple to learn, and all of the tags that I needed to get done were doable using Markdown, even definition lists using Markdown Extra http://michelf.com/projects/php-markdown/extra/ ...however that was using Drupal (which has Markdown Extra). I came to all this from the world of Wikis - TWiki MoinMoin and others. Completely different markup and facilities. And lots of entrenchment and 'mark-up wars'. I'm comfortable with either but seem to use Textile for composition and Markdown for posting in from e-mail. If you think about it, non-html type email ends up suing things like underlining for 'titles' ad starts or hashes lists and simple * and _. Or, and for quotes. So posting email in is a natural. That's when I'm not doing pretty involved stuff in raw html! -- Ignorance is never out of style.

[Radiant] Passenger on openSUSE
I've recently given up on Mandriva and moved to opehSUSE and on the whole don't regret it. However I now have some problems wit virtual hosts and passenger. I used to have a demo of Radiant on my laptop. Entry in the hosts file for 'radiantdemo.tld' == 127.0.0.1, and a few other virtual hosts like that. Moving my old virtual hosts files to the openSUSE apache2 config directory has proven unsuccessful and confusing. Attempting to install passenger is further confusing, I get an error from apache2 on start-up saying it can't find the 'ruby' module. I anyone on this forum using openSUSE + passenger ?

Steven Southard said the following on 11/18/2008 01:33 PM: I think maybe you just need to take another approach with her. Seems sometimes web development is more psychology then programming. Does she just put her hand over her ears when you say Markdown or Textile? I've had a client like that! She just wants to make headers, paragraphs, and upload pictures right? Keep working with her, tell here to take a few breaths, and keeping reminding her that the filters are there to keep the technical stuff out of her way. My clients don't seem to mess with the snippets, tags, or css classes that much. They just use the filters and maybe one tag and some classes that they copy and past from where ever else it was used on the site. It takes a bit for them to get the hang of it but if they can see the simple patterns they'll be able to add their content. Perhaps if 'snippets' were called something more familiar like 'macros' Yes, I *know* they aren't, but I'm talking about a psychological comfort zone. -- Engineers like to solve problems.

Adam van den Hoven said the following on 11/18/2008 01:42 PM: You just hit on an interesting idea for an extension. Frequently, people are going to reuse the same bits over and over. Instead of making them go find it, what if we put a scratchpad on the right hand side of the parts (which will consume some space from the parts but that should be OK the visibility is important). That's interesting. One piece of software I use ha a number of vertical panels that can be tuned on and off. If you use Linux+KDE think of Konqueror+F9. Now imagine things can be dragged from those panels... We already have the things that go in the panel, which is primarily the snippets and the tags. Oh, and images.

[Radiant] Problemwith javascript in Textile
I have a problem using the 'enkode' extension in a page that uses textile. Actually its in a table in a page that uses textile, so I can't use a space at the beginning of the line or the 'notextile.' directive.

Sadly, we received no entries by the October 31 deadline. [...] So I could contribute that. BUT: It won't be a full template, in the sense that there's no art, and not much graphic design; it's really an infrastructure thing, not a ready-to-use template. It should make it easier for someone to create a nicely-done theme, though. (In fact, I was thinking that if I released it, it should have some godawful hideous colors to force users to change them...) Are we actually artists? I'm not. I've taken one of Andreas Viklund's 'free' designs, isolated areas, factored out snippets, dug out a logo from years ago, stuff and stuff an stuff... The trouble is that a lot of the snippets are being made obsolete as new stuff gets written (like 'siblings' and other ways of doing navigation). Assets or paperclips? But the result isn't something I think could be submitted as its too geared towards the one site, too may things like the logo and navigation not 'generalized'. But it does raise another question. There are some good basic templates out there. Andreas Viklund also has some excellent models of two and three panel layouts with various arrangements. Perhaps we should look to packaging those - with permission and acknowledgement of course. -- My definition of a free society is a society where it is safe to be unpopular. Adlai E.
