Re: [Radiant] Best way to build a navigation bar with Radiant CMS?

2006-12-15 Thread Al Steffen
I ditto the Web Developer toolbar and then I also use HTML-kit
(http://www.htmlkit.com/) for a standalone editor.

Re: [Radiant] TXP to Radiant

2006-12-27 Thread Al Steffen
Unfortunately, I don't believe there are really many converters built
to do it. Even though there is some inspiration taken from TxP,
Radiant is a different monster. It isn't necessarily intended for
blogs (even John uses Mephisto for his blog), so comments and things
may be something of a chore to port over beings it requires a custom
behavior to implement them. For a company website, it kicks ass.

One thing to consider if you do code one up yourself, is to probably
have some trigger to look for a specific section in the TxP database
to port into a certain area of the Radiant database. Once an
article/child is placed, it can't be moved easily. If you do manage to
come up with something, I am sure several will be able to make use of
it though.

I am currently building a couple sites in Radiant (my business site
and one for a local group of comic artists). I am taking it slow right
now and building out sites I know will work and using the plugins that
are available to see what I can do.

Re: [Radiant] User Roles

2006-12-30 Thread Al Steffen
It isn't too bad considering the intended userbase for the CMS. It is 
intended to be a system for small and trusted groups of users and not a 
mass of people. It is definitely not for everyone and that is a good 
thing to me since it isn't trying to be everything to everyone. It then 
has a better focus.

One must also consider that we are still sitting at .52 for a stable 
release and it is still growing in terms of its functionality and 
feature set; one of those being the reworking of the plug-in system. So 
even if the core does not natively support it, maybe there is a chance 
for a plug-in to step in. As long as it has a solid API for extension, 
it can be a lot of things. For now, it is still a work in progress.

Of course, John is the man with the plan on this. The system seems to be 
working for what I need and that is what counts for me.

Re: [Radiant] RSS Feed for archive with sub categories

2007-03-17 Thread Al Steffen
The WYSYWIG and Maruku extensions actually are by Nathan Wright. It is
a nice list though and it will be handy to have it around for when .6
is officially released since the current list on the site will be
obsolete.

Re: [Radiant] Trouble deploying Radiant on a shared host

2007-04-29 Thread Al Steffen
I am actually able to get Radiant to run with no trouble at all on my
Site5 account. Firstly, you don't have to run script/server since you
are running fastcgi. just point to the site and it should kick in. It
looks as though you are running in a subdirectory too, and that would
mean you have to declare your home directory in the application. (You
could also set up a 3rd level domain.) Another thing that has caused
me annoyance in the past is the line endings in my database.yml file.
Make sure they are unix line endings and not windows ones.

Have you tried these instructions?:

At one time I posted how to install .6 rc2 to the mailing list.
currently trying to find it again so I don't have to type it all over.
