[Radiant] Ordering of pages
How can you order pages under a ? I can see the "by" parameter but what does that amount to? I can see that it could be the title or the publication date, but what I'm trying to do is a a bit different that that. Let me express it as a general problem. Can I do something like create a tab for each page under a parent, call it "sequence" and put a sequence number in it? Can I do something like select the single item from a list of pages describing events that is the next one if there is a tab that has the date in it? Can I control the order of menu items ? /anton ___ Radiant mailing list Post: Radiant@lists.radiantcms.org Search: http://radiantcms.org/mailing-list/search/ Site: http://lists.radiantcms.org/mailman/listinfo/radiant
[Radiant] Redirect?
Is there a way to set up a page so that it silently redirects to another one Something that results in what one might conceive of as with appropriate 404 handling? -- An NSA-employed acquaintance, when asked whether the government can crack DES traffic, quipped that real systems are so insecure that they never need to bother. Unfortunately, there are no easy recipes for making a system secure, no substitute for careful design and critical, ongoing scrutiny. -- Matt Blaze in AC2 ___ Radiant mailing list Post: Radiant@lists.radiantcms.org Search: http://radiantcms.org/mailing-list/search/ Site: http://lists.radiantcms.org/mailman/listinfo/radiant
[Radiant] Extended content in distributed example
In the distribution example, the Home Page has a line of code Continue Reading… (Its one one line in the example) Since its in the context of the 'child' I presume it refers to the child. When viewed as the web site I'm prototyping this has a link to http://server:3000/presentations/2007/01/27/jan-27th-event/#extended However when I click on that link I get take to a page that has that in the address bar but is identical to http://server:3000/presentations/2007/01/27/jan-27th-event That is: the content I put in the 'extended' tab that I created for that for that page doesn't appear. Actually I'm surprised the base page appears! What am I doing wrong or misunderstanding? -- "A Meltdown? One of those annoying buzzwords.

One site I hosted on the ISP forgot to set the SMTP to allow my domain to use the MTA. MTAs are often configured NOT to forward mail for any than specified domain so that they can't be used as 'open relays' for spammers. -- Security is old, older than computers And old-guard security thinks of countermeasures as a way to manage risk.

[Radiant] How to dump and reload?
This is really a Rails question, I suppose, but in context its a Radiant problem John graciously supplied us with a script script/set-up_database that preloaded some templates, snippets and pages. Its not quite a Rake task, but ... it does load content from YAML files. Now Rake out of the box can dump and load the schema and dump the database structure to a SQL file. But what I need to do is dump a Sqlite3 database and restore a MySQL database. Its like this: I've put together a small site for a local club (aka non-profit) which has about 100 members. The idea is that the 'board' can keep it up to date since the kid who volunteered to run the site for them has fallen down on the job. I've run up a demo on my laptop and they are happy with that. I now have to put up the live site on an ISP. This means dumping the content of the database on my laptop (Sq lite3) and restoring it on the ISPs server (MySQL) I'm a little surprised that Rails doesn't have this. Or am I mistaken? What I've found on the web tells me it isn't. I did find code that has different patches for Sqlite, MySQL and Postgress, but doesn't work with Sqlite3. http://www.realityforge.org/articles/2005/12/14/dumping-database-to-yaml-fixtures http://www.realityforge.org/files/dump_fixtures.rake http://www.bigbold.com/snippets/posts/show/3393 Am I missing something 'cos I'm not a RoR coder? I would have thought this a common and obvious task. -- Never criticise somebody until you have walked a mile in their shoes.

Check your path. You should be at the top of the rails directory tree $ pwd /home/anton/Ruby/Radiant $ ls app/CHANGELOGCONTRIBUTORS lib/ public/ script/ vendor/ bin/components/ db/ LICENSE Rakefile test/ cache/ config/ doc/ log/ READMEtmp/ so when you run the ruby command you specify the full or the relative path ruby ./script/server -e production or ruby /home/anton/Ruby/Radiant/script/server -e production As I said, this is not a rail or ruby problem.

Add that to All that useful stuff like remote host, address, port ... When it comes down to it, the cookie alone won't tell you if the user is validated. In fact that's an assumption that will open up some security holes :-( Try session_id and session_variable ... Actually, what I did for an e-commerce site was to have the session_id plus a time-stamp in the cookie in encrypted form - so that 'time-out' cold be done and so that the cookie wasn't the same every exchange. (The encryption key had to change periodically as well which made it hairy!) The session_id was not predictable - see how that is done TCP sequence numbers in late model kernels. Some day I may get around to recoding this in Ruby/Rails ... But PLEASE! Don't code up something that is a security CFM and make your site a target for all manner of attacks and zombifications. Putting "isLoggedIn" or equivilent (e.g. raw data or predictable session_id) in the cookie is a real security risk. http://www.rorsecurity.info/ - Ruby on Rails Security Project http://www.owasp.org/index.php/OWASP_AppSec_FAQ - Gives good advice on how to design the login process. http://rubythis.blogspot.com/2006/11/rails-security-checklist.html http://www.quarkruby.com/2007/9/20/ruby-on-rails-security-guide http://www.rorsecurity.info/2007/03/20/logingenerator-and-loginsugar-security-vulnerabilities/ -- Anton J Aylward, CISSP, CISA <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> System Integrity Minister in the Church of St Sysiphus The Perplexed, The patron saint of InfoSec Anton J Aylward, CISSP, CISA <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> System Integrity http://si.on.ca - System Integrity http://infosecblog.antonaylward.com - The InfoSec Blog -- Genius is one per cent inspiration, ninety-nine per cent perspiration.
