Basically, there's , , tags and various others below it. All they do is assist in looping over the associations and emitting attributes, really.

[Radiant] Helper code for logging loaded extensions
I am working on a custom project and developing my own extensions and
plugins. Additionally, I am integrating third party extensions into my
Radiant site. Periodically, these custom or third party extensions have
issues that prevent the application from properly loading, particularly
when uploading a site to a host. The error message you get in console
sometimes is cryptic and so you're not really even thinking that an
extension may be to blame. At least this was true with me...
I found it extremely helpful for debugging to put a line something like
this at the top of my extension files:
puts "Loading MyExtension..."
Since then I've simply moved this to a separate file:
load_loaded_dependencies.rb:
module Dependencies
alias old_log_call log_call
def log_call(*args)
begin
relative_filename =
(args[0].to_s.match('/vendor/.*')[0]).to_s.gsub('/vendor/','') rescue
nil
puts "Loading dependency: #{relative_filename}" if
relative_filename && relative_filename != @@last_relative_filename
@@last_relative_filename = relative_filename
rescue
ensure
old_log_call args
end
end
end
Then, I simply require this file at the top of my environment.rb file.
Hope this is useful to someone else.
Mario

To my surprise, somehow I managed to make it work not long after clicking on the send button. I also found your extension which helped somehow, together with the archive extension. Who would say that simply stearing long enough at the code you don't really understand could get you somewhere. :) My head is spinning, but its fun. Now I need to make use of model associations. I see the syllabi is associated with courses etc, but haven't found yet how you use it in the tags. ___ Radiant mailing list Post: Radiant@lists.radiantcms.org Search: http://radiantcms.org/mailing-list/search/ Site: http://lists.radiantcms.org/mailman/listinfo/radiant
Re: [Radiant] How to make a virtual page like '/page/:id'
You're on the right track. The "/people" page should be of a custom type that you create so that all child URLs are routed to a single virtual child page. I did this for the "Syllabi" at KCKCC over a year ago. Here's a link to the code: http://kck.esumm.com/www/html/vendor/extensions/syllabi/app/models/ Look specifically at the "Syllabi Courses Page" and the "Syllabi Prefixes Page". The "prefixes" page was used as the parent, the "courses" page as the virtual child. You can see these in action at: http://www.kckcc.edu/academics/course-descriptions/ Cheers, Sean nn wrote: > While developing my first Radiant site I encountered a problem which > overwhelms me.

[Radiant] How to make a virtual page like '/page/:id'
While developing my first Radiant site I encountered a problem which overwhelms me. Also, I'm not a programmer, so its only worse. Please bear with me. First, I tried to make a page "/people" which lists all the people in the organization. So, I wrote "People" extension (my first), wrote some tags, and now I can enter a person into the database through the admin interface, and list every person in the database on the "/people" page. A small victory. Unfortunately, it doesn't end here. Now I need to display everything there is about a person, but I don't want to make a separate child page for each person. I think one page should be sufficient for that, so a virtual page is in order, right? Well, I tried that, and failed miserably. It getting frustrating, since I've been hanging with Google for more then two days now. Either the examples I found are too complex, or my skull is too thick. At the moment, I'm betting on the latter. So, hopefully, someone has already been there and can show in a simple way how to achieve what I need to. Thanks. ___ Radiant mailing list Post: Radiant@lists.radiantcms.org Search: http://radiantcms.org/mailing-list/search/ Site: http://lists.radiantcms.org/mailman/listinfo/radiant
