[Radiant] Deployment database merging
Hi everybody, I am developing a blog for a customer using Radiant 0.8.1 What is the usual way of deploying radiant to the production server? Since lot's of configuration is stored in the database, I need to overwrite db on the server with my development db (with capistrano it is not a problem). But this will work only if I am the only one who updates the website. And what if customer in a meanwhile has published new post? I need to merge databases somehow. There was a similar question some time ago ( http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/167040 ), but there was no real conclusion... So, how do _you_ deploy your radiant website? How do you solve issue with database merge? This must have some simple answer, but I can't see one... my best, Konstantin PS It would be absolutely awesome if you share your capistrano recipe in case you use it ;) ___ Radiant mailing list Post: Radiant@radiantcms.org Search: http://radiantcms.org/mailing-list/search/ Site: http://lists.radiantcms.org/mailman/listinfo/radiant

heroku has a tool called taps that i use for this purpose; it's not tied to the heroku service at all so you can use it to push/pull databases from any where you like. http://docs.heroku.com/taps http://adamblog.heroku.com/past/2009/2/11/taps_for_easy_database_transfers/ On Sun, Dec 13, 2009 at 3:52 AM, Konstantin Antipin antipin.konstan...@gmail.com wrote: Hi everybody, I am developing a blog for a customer using Radiant 0.8.1 What is the usual way of deploying radiant to the production server?

I've often wished that Capistrano would do something like that. I guess it could be set up in a task in the deployment recipe. Hmm. ~Nate ___ Radiant mailing list Post: Radiant@radiantcms.org Search: http://radiantcms.org/mailing-list/search/ Site: http://lists.radiantcms.org/mailman/listinfo/radiant
