Perhaps you need to do a rake radiant:extensions:update_all?
This happens automatically when you install extensions via ./script/
extension install extension_name, but if you installed them by just
copying the files in, you may have missed updating the instance with
images, javascripts, and stylesheets.
Good luck!

Hi!
I installed your extension along with the other extensions that you
made + page_attachments. I ran rake migrate:db:extensions and
everything seemed to go fine... I also saw them show up under
Extensions in Radiant. However, no toolbar ever showed up for me,
and below the content field I can see the green plus and
"Attachments (0)", but nothing happeneds when i click the plus-symbol.
What did I do wrong, or miss?
cheers, Simon

I'm catching up to this interesting thread a couple days late, but
I can't believe no one's mentioned my textile_editor extension
yet! I'm hurt! (jk!) It would have helped if I'd have announced
it to the list when I released it in September, huh? :-)
[ANN] radiant-textile_editor-extension makes Radiant really easy to
use for non-technical content editors!
We have a lot (50-ish?) of technology-impared people working on our
university website. We haven't rolled the CMS out to all of them
yet but so far in my testing I've found that the Textile editor
toolbar helps them a bunch. It seems silly because pushing the H1
button inserts h1. and pressing B adds asterisks, but it works
because it overcomes their fear and uncertainty about Textile.
They pretty quickly get to the point where it's faster to just type
h3. than to click the button, but for getting over the initial hump
of staring at a blank textbox, it's a huge psychological boost!
The part of the toolbar I find myself using all the time is the
link and image buttons. The way I designed it, not only can you
add Textile links and images, but also enkoded email links,
attached images, and attached files.
Speaking of attachments, the concept is genius for file
management. Buckets and asset libraries and all that are too
confusing for my users (I tried paperclipped for a while), but
they're used to attaching files in webmail, so the page_attachments
extension works out great. I use the page_attachments_xsendfile
extension to make the attached file available at a friendly URL
(the page's URL + filename). That seems to match people's
expectations better. You just tell them they can use an attachment
on that page or any page under it and they get it.
I'm a strong believer in the non-technical user being able to see
what's going on. Even if they can't write <r:children:each> tags,
when they encounter them they'll know what's going on and are less
likely to mess up Radius or HTML tags than if they're hidden behind
a WYSIWYG editor. Training up front is really the key—and
preparing their expectations. So you say, "Textile is going to
make your life a whole lot easier. Here are a few things it does
and here's a toolbar in case you forget. HTML tags [Radius tags in
reality] are mostly for the web team. You're not expected to know
how to use them, but I'm glad to show you a few so you know what
they do."
If you're using Textile, make sure you're using version >= 4.0. A
lot of the hate on RedCloth was rooted in how buggy it was for a
few years. You'll need the redcloth4 extension to make it work in
Radiant 0.9.6.

1. I think the textareas need to come with a toolbar above them
(page
parts, snippets, layouts). These toolbars would be filter
specific.
