[Radiant] Sean's blogging template
I'm finally getting around to looking at the template that Sean uses for blogging: http://pastie.org/273417 (Hmm.. pastie seems broken at the moment.) Some questions: 1. The root page (/) and the /Articles page are effectively identical. Is there a reason one couldn't just render the other? I realize that the /Articles page gives you the the nicety of collapsing all articles in the admin tree view. Is there any other reason for it to have a separate existence? 2. The root page has three body parts: body, navLeft, and navRight.[1] The Articles page, and its children, the actual blog entries, have only the body part. They all use the Normal layout, which renders all three parts; the children have no navLeft or navRight, so it gets inherited from the root page. Something about this bugs me, but I can't quite articulate what it is. It seems like there should be a more elegant way to achieve the nav sidebars - yet the separation of concerns sounds logical when I explain it out loud... maybe it's just that children pages shouldn't be able to override the sidebars, or that the sidebars really feel like a layout function, not a page content function? I don't know. Anyone have any similar musings, or alternative ways to do it? I suppose I could move the nav bars into snippets, called by the layout... Jay Levitt [1] I may have renamed those; I can't remember the original. There was probably also an extended part. ___ Radiant mailing list Post: Radiant@radiantcms.org Search: http://radiantcms.org/mailing-list/search/ Site: http://lists.radiantcms.org/mailman/listinfo/radiant
Re: [Radiant] ExpressionEngine vs radiant

I'd hoped that, because it was a mature product, it'd be quicker to get up and running than with Radiant, where the docs weren't very complete (this was before Mohit's excellent work). In reality, EE is just as hit-and-miss as any other CMS. There are some things that work great, some what do you mean it doesn't do X? gaps, some patches upon patches in the design, and a whole lot of infrastructure to learn before you can dive in and start editing templates. EE is in the middle of a grand rewrite to 2.0, which has been on the horizon since at least last March. Meanwhile, their support team is highly responsive, but... Well, there's a strange vibe in the forums, is the best I can put it. They have an annotated user guide (like PHP), but only users who've posted 100 messages to the forums can add notes. Which means you don't get any of the I just installed this, and here's what documentation would have helped me posts. Kinda the whole point of a wiki. It felt, I dunno, controlling, in that old-school programmer way.

[Radiant] Metaweblog or AtomPub: anyone using it?
I want to play with some blog-posting clients. The Metaweblog extension relies on ActionWebService, which seems to be dropped from core - and although I've seen some posts about it still being supported as a gem, the site that was supporting it is gone too... clearly, it doesn't have much life left. There's an atompub-server plugin for Rails, too; I'm sure getting it working with Radiant is a Simple Matter Of Programming. http://github.com/calavera/atompub-server/tree/master Has anyone been able to use Metaweblog with Radiant 0.6.9, and has anyone played with the atompub plugin yet?

better way to hide the unstyled list is:

FWIW: the Passenger docs say that mod_rewrite is overridden/ignored unless you explicitly turn it on with some httpd.conf keyword that I can't remember.
