Re: [Fwd: Re: [Radiant] Summer reboot article]
Thanks, Mohit. I enjoy writing technical tutorials, and the V article is in fact taken directly from a project I am currently working on - I learned and documented as I worked my way through constructing the page. This also made me aware that the shards/regions features of Radiant really need proper documentation - this is my next project for extension article III. Btw, do we call this ability to add partials to the Radiant views for "regions", "shards" or something third? /Casper On 16/08/2008, at 21:02, Mohit Sindhwani wrote: Hi Casper Just got through reading both your contributions to the Extensions section of the Summer Reboot. They are both very well written. [IV] Frankly, I think I'm not yet at the right level of Ruby for this article. It is quite technical (that's a good thing) and goes through quite a few items quite well. I like the way that you make references to current extensions. That's useful and helps people answer the 'how did they do that?' question. [V] I really like this one. I couldn't get around to trying out the steps in the article on a real install yet, but I do hope to. It does seem quite complete and is easy to read without getting stressed. But, I think I would like to try this out so that I can try to do up some screenshots. That's all for now - thanks for the great work. I shall make some grammatical editorial changes to both articles the next time I read them.

If more people contributes documentation, we might be able to reach the goal of completing Summer Reboot by the end of August! :) Cheers, Casper Fingers crossed :) There are more pieces going up every day and I'm spending about 1-2 hours a day right now to add whatever I can. As for screenshots, I'm doing that right now, just so that there's something to see beyond the text. If there is interest, I could create a simple sqlite database with a default settings, empty database, 1 admin user, 4 - 6 short articles (I'll just steal from the summer reboot) and NO extensions in it. Then, I can make this available as a download. That way, if someone's writing something small and simple (e.g. how to use an extension), s/he could just use this database with a sqlite backend specified for the database (just drop this file into the db directory) and use it as the base. That way, there's a clean database, it's DRY, it's not corrupted by other extensions (though the public directory might be for the user) and has just enough content to demonstrate a few features. Let me know - I could do this in the next couple of days, if needed. I'm hoping to put in a few more hours over the weekend - one more day to go! By end of day tomorrow, I'll try to send out an update - it's more exciting than last week since there's quite a bit more :) Cheers, Mohit. 8/15/2008 | 1:17 AM. ___ Radiant mailing list Post: Radiant@radiantcms.org Search: http://radiantcms.org/mailing-list/search/ Site: http://lists.radiantcms.org/mailman/listinfo/radiant
