Re: [Radiant] File-based Snippets/Layouts with Support for Radiant Tags?
The file_system extension exists for this purpose. Check it out: http://github.com/nelstrom/radiant-file-system-extension/tree/master I should warn you that it is still under development, so if you do use it, take care! I would appreciate feedback on any problems you encounter. Drew On 25 Aug 2008, at 05:20, Arik Jones wrote: Will we ever see the light of day for this feature.

Re: [Radiant] File-based Snippets/Layouts with Support for Radiant Tags?
I just had a crazy idea. I'm looking for a way for users to have a draft version of the site. When it's ready, they click a button and the pages/snippets/layouts that are published get transferred over to the new site. What if: When they click Publish Site: * test site does a rake file_system:save to save the test db stuff to the file system * files are checked into git * production site does a checkout * production site does a rake file_system:load to load the files into the db And Tada. You have a simple, version controlled site where people can preview their work.

Re: [Radiant] File-based Snippets/Layouts with Support for Radiant Tags?
Back in December 2007 I wrote a quickie extension for someone to have two separate sites, one being preview and one being live. In the end, we decided it would be easiest to copy a SQLite3 database file from the preview site to the live site (luckily on the same box). No version control, but it was an easy way to keep them separated. BTW, you could achieve what you mention also with the import/export extension (which I added a few fixes to the other day). It would not be easily readable (it's all YAML), but it can maintain all the original data, including data that isn't expressly written in the file_system ext.

Re: [Radiant] File-based Snippets/Layouts with Support for Radiant Tags?
I wrote an extension that is being used in production that does something very similar. We have a staging environment and a production environment. The production environment is read-only. The users make all their changes on the staging environment. When they are ready to migrate the changes to production, they go to a Staging tab on the staging environment and click a button. Behind the scenes, the radiant content is copied from the staging environment to the production. It can copy the data between two environments on the same machine or two environments on different machines (via ssh gem) simply by changing a flag in the config file. Because the extension uses mysqldump, right now it is limited to only mysql databases. So far, the client has tentatively been agreeable to me open-sourcing this extension. Two things have kept me from pursuing that, namely time constraints and my thinking that this might not be useful to anyone else. If others think this extension might be useful to them, I can move it up my priority list.

What are the limitations that prevent this feature from being implemented? Would it help you to use an external text editor of your choice for editing the entry of a text box in Radiant? I remember that there is a Firefox extension that can open up an external text editor of your choice. I searched it up and found this: http://lists.radiantcms.org/pipermail/radiant/2007-May/004928.html Hope this helps.
