Re: [Radiant] Sessions in Radiant Help
I believe that this is because of a bug in rails, and not radiant.
The SiteController has session :off, and adding session :on in your
controllers doesn't seem to do anything.
The only way I know to change this is to actually go into
SiteController and comment out that line. I've seen posts about
putting things like:
SiteController.class_eval{session :on}
in the activate method of your extension, but that didn't work for me.
To get it to work, I did froze to edge radiant, then went into
SiteController.rb and commented out the session line. This would mean
that any pages that you want sessions off for you'd have to do
manually - so use with caution.

Hey all,
I know this discussion has taken place before but I still can't
get my hands around it. I'm using radiant with the Rails_support
extension which works great with radiant for the content. The
problem is
when I try to use the session inside that app in the extensions, The
session doesn't hold any data. The session that comes with radiant
only
get stuff written to it when I try to access the radiant admin app.
Does any one have a solution for that or even a way around it. I
really
appreciate the help.
Thanks
Maged

Re: [Radiant] Sessions in Radiant Help
Here's what I did:
gem install --include-dependencies radiant
radiant myapp
cd myapp
[change database.yml]
rake db:bootstrap
rake radiant:freeze:edge
rake radiant:update
rake db:migrate
[create extension...]
Now you'll have a full copy of radiant's source code in your vendor/
radiant directory. Now go to
vendor/radiant/app/controllers
You'll see site_controller.rb (which I mistakenly referred to as
SiteController.rb below) - comment out line 2, and sessions will now
be enabled for the whole app. If you've previously started your web
server, you may have to restart for the changes to take effect.
There are much more elegant solutions, I'm sure, but this one worked
for me. If you have a problem with edge radiant this might not work.
If that happens, let me know.

Thanks for your help. Could you explain your last paragraph in more
details, I'm totally new to Radiant. where can I find the
SiteController.rb? any examples would be very helpful
My extension rails_support_extension.rb looks like this
**
require_dependency 'application'
class RailsSupportExtension Radiant::Extension
version 1.0
description Allows you to render Rails views in Radiant Layouts.
url http://code.google.com/p/radiant-rails-support/;
def activate
end
def deactivate
end
SiteController.send :include, SiteControllerExtension
SiteController.helper SiteHelperExtension
end
**
Thanks in advance

Re: [Radiant] Sessions in Radiant Help
I haven't dealt with that before, but if I were to do it, I would: Determine what I meant by expired (let's say 3 days for example) Write a rake task that deletes the session Write a cron script to run it nightly after the database backup My rake task would probably look like: namespace :db namespace :sessions task :delete = :environment do CGI::Session::ActiveRecordStore::Session.delete_all(['created_at ?', 3.days.ago]) end end end My cron script would look something like this: mkdir -p /var/backup/mysql date=`date +%d` mysqldump -ubackup -pmypass myapp_production | gzip /var/backup/ mysql/myapp-$date.sql.gz cd /var/www/apps/myapp/current rake db:sessions:delete Alternately, you could have it run every time an admin logs in (assuming that your admins don't mind the slight performance hit) Jeff On Nov 16, 2007, at 11:54 PM, Maged Makled wrote: Jeff Dean wrote: Here's what I did: gem install --include-dependencies radiant radiant myapp cd myapp [change database.yml] rake db:bootstrap rake radiant:freeze:edge rake radiant:update rake db:migrate [create extension...] Now you'll have a full copy of radiant's source code in your vendor/ radiant directory.

Hey Jeff, Thanks a lot man, I tried it and it works perfectly. Just one more question. Do you know how to delete that session from the database when the session expired. I read some posts and they talked cron jobs and things like that but I needed to be handled in my application. Do you have a quick solution?

[Radiant] Has anyone used the PluginAWeek Version?
Has anyone played around with http://api.pluginaweek.org/mini_radiant/? It sounds like a great idea - and it seems like it would make it a lot easier to port existing rails apps - something like: * piston all of the plugins * update some configs to fix the load order * run some migrations On my end, the fact that everything in radiant has to be an extension is proving very tough for me. I have 10+ plugins in each of my rails apps, and loading them into radiant is a chore - and if any other extensions ever use similar plugins, it seems like it could cause trouble. I've spent a while now trying to learn extensions, so I don't really want to make the switch unless it really makes sense. Anyone have any feedback on the mini-radiant?

[Radiant] Regular Rails Script Generate
I've got the latest revision of Radiant from trunk (r596) and I also downloaded and configured the RadiantOnRails extension (very slick, by the way). I'd like to be able to use script/generate for the main rails app, but it's not recognizing the standard generators. Does anyone know how to use script/generate migration etc... in an app that's based on Radiant? ___ Radiant mailing list Post: Radiant@lists.radiantcms.org Search: http://radiantcms.org/mailing-list/search/ Site: http://lists.radiantcms.org/mailman/listinfo/radiant
[Radiant] Integrating with Existing Rails Apps
I've got a few existing sites that I'd like to add radiant to. Each of them has a more complicated user management setup (multiple roles/ permissions) and lots of dynamic content. I got going with radiant_on_rails and share_layouts so I can get my app to look like the Radiant app, but I can't figure out how do deal with migrations or overriding the default admin screens. Migrations: If I add migrations to RAILS_ROOT/db/migrate, and they have numbers less-than the highest number in the RADIANT_ROOT gem migrations, then the migrations don't run. If they have numbers greater than the highest number in RADIANT_ROOT/db/migrate, they run, but this seems hackish. I realize that I can write an extension that migrates via db:migrate:extensions, but my apps are already fully formed, and I need to write several migrations to coerce the existing data into the new format. In that sense even if I wanted to put the code in the extensions, the migrations really belong in the app itself, not the extension, because the extension would be completely un-reusable. For folks who use radiant_on_rails: how do you migrate? Overriding Views: I have in my app an admin/user/index.rhtml view, and I've added the RAILS_ROOT/app/views above RADIANT_ROOT/app/views in environment.rb. But when I go to the user screen, I still see the built-in view. How can I overwrite these in my extensions/main rails app?
