The apology is not needed at all :)

This is something I'd like to address sooner rather than later, and do 
it in a way that is similar to what I did to the mailer extension -- 
supporting post-backs to the page rather than to a separate 
controller.  However, it looks like that specific error comes from not 
having the request available to the page -- assigning it before the 
'render' call should be sufficient.


In the meantime, try my fork which includes some of the enhancements 
from other authors and see if it solves some problems for you.

Will do!  I'll get to it tonight!

Re: [SOLVED] Re: [Radiant] Paperclipped + flash video files.

[Andrew Neil]

I'm very interested to hear of your experience with MIME types and  
browsers. I've just written an audio_player extension[1], which uses  
paperclip to deal with attaching audio files. The flash player that  
I'm using can only play mp3s, so I want to limit the MIME type to that  
format. I've set up some validation in the model, as follows:



http://github.com/nelstrom/radiant-audio_player-extension/tree/master/app/models/audio.rb#L12-14

I was quite puzzled when I tested the attachment of an mp3 file to an  
Audio model. Using the exact same mp3 file, I tried creating the model  
through the Radiant admin (in the browser), and I tried doing it  
through script/console (at the command line). I was able to attach the  
MP3 file by both methods, but found that the MIME type was saved as  
audio/mpeg when I uploaded through the browser, and as application/x- 
mp3 when created at the console. So it does look as though the browser  
is... opinionated, when it comes to mime types.


Luckily, paperclip seems to be happy with both of these formats, but I  
did have to broaden the conditions for my model validation to let both  
of these through.


Cheers,
Drew

(Including the mailing-list in this discussion.)

What do you mean by "non-admin"?  If you mean regular Radiant pages, 
there is not currently the ability to use Haml.  You might want to check 
out the SnS extension or the old sass-filter-extension for Sass 
capabilities.  Writing a Haml filter should be easy, but I think you'll 
run into a lot of problems with the strictness of Haml clashing with 
Radius tags.

Vincent,

The helper is there regardless.  However, current_user will only be 
populated _if the user is logged in_.  To enable sessions, add this to 
your extension, in the activate method:


SiteController.class_eval { session :disabled => false }

Content of snippet "list_childs_as_generic_entries":

  

  
  
!(photo)()!
  
  

  


Content of snippet "image_with_border":
 class="">
   
  
   


The class parameter is not set if a open the page "Referenzen".

If i call the snippet "image_with_border" directly from a page and not
from a snippet, it works.

Any ideas on that?

Thx,
