First off, what I have done so far in Radiant has been pretty inspiring. I usually hate CMS solutions due to their inflexibility. The super simple Radiant extension is a huge selling point for me. I intend to use a Radiant install as the base for projects since it gives me publishing, admin authentication, and admin architecture for almost no effort. I'm pretty experienced with Rails, but new to Radiant.
Maintaining layouts and snippets in the admin interface via text area is so much less fun than editing these things in Textmate. My current workflow is to use the "It's all text" Firefox plugin to edit text area contents in Textmate. It's not so bad, but I have switch to the browser and press the save button, then switch to my tab with the radiant app and refresh to see my changes. Its far more tedious than the usual cmd-s, cmd-tab, F5 I'm used to. Page content would change far more frequently and is a good fit for the database, in my opinion. Plus the regular, non-technical, maintainers of the site probably shouldn't have access to changing layouts and snippets anyway. So, I am looking for a way to store site structure files in the file system, version controlled and in a higher level template language like erb or haml. Then store page content in the database in radius format just like normal. Is there an extension for that? Or is that even a good idea? Thanks for the great tool, -Alex -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. _______________________________________________ Radiant mailing list Post: Radiant@radiantcms.org Search: http://radiantcms.org/mailing-list/search/ Site: http://lists.radiantcms.org/mailman/listinfo/radiant
