Dan,

   o It would be nice to have a convenient way to access
 images through the Admin interface and to easily 
 (less typing, yet intuitive) 'markup' the images in 
 the associated pages.
 
 On my site, I've written my own text filter that replaces textile
 image references with links to the image, so that:
 
 !image.jpg!
 
 would get replaced with
 
 !/attachments/monkey.jpg!
 
 before getting handed off to textile for regular processing.
 
 Look at:
 
 http://soxbox.no-ip.org/radiant/svn/extensions/x_groggy/lib/groggy_filter.rb
 
 It also filters out a bunch of common characters from people cutting/pasting 
 from word, the key bit is a page.attachments.each

  This is nice and I would like to try it. Sorry for my dumb question. 
Where exactly should I add this code? I have installed Radiant using
the 'gem'med version. Do I have to get into 
sub-directories under /usr/lib/ruby/gems ?

No, you'll need to write and install a radiant extension that includes that
code.

I concur with every item on this list and would like to add one more.  For
such a minimalist interface editing a page sure does take up a lot of
vertical space.  I find it very annoying to have to scroll down to save
every time.

1700x2400 displays?  :)

What's to prohibit top AND bottom.  You're going to be close to one or
the other :-)

Or have a scrolling _region_ in a frame (of some kind) and the
buttons/controls are in the frame.

Does that left hand part scroll independently from the (presumably
fixed) right hand part?

Richard,

This is rather trivial to do with an extension.  Write your desired CSS, 
put it in your extension public/stylesheets directory.  Then put 
something like this in your extension's activate method:

SiteController.class_eval do

before_filter :customize_admin_css

def customize_admin_css

include_stylesheet 'my_stylesheet'

   end

end

Obviously you'd want to name your stylesheet something else.  Hope this 
is helpful!

2007-12-02 Thread Saji Njarackalazhikam Hameed
Hi Ryan,


 I've run into this before - I guess I just take it for granted that  
 the admin interface is easy to use, because _I_ like it. But that's  
 not the case for everyone. I'm curious, what about the Admin interface  
 is daunting to your scientists, and how might it be improved?

  1. Too much information - we have some people producing El Nino forecasts,
  some El Nino monitoring information and another set maybe
  some sort of summaries.
 
  Typically any one of these people have to access a certain
  page within the tree. Since we have a variety of products
  and many categories under each product, the typical
  content provider in APCC tends to get a bit lost in
  the branches and trunks of the Page tree, so to say.


o It would have been nice if the content provider could
  chose to hide the branches and trunks not of interest to
  her/im.

o This step may be done by the administrator instead. 
  This may help protect the integrity of the system. We
  may not want all content providers to modify any of the
  pages in the tree. Currently any logged in content
  provider can modify anything s/he likes

 2. Images - As you may have noticed, we need to display lots and
 lots of images. It is not quite that easy to deal with
 images through the admin interface. 

 Radiant does not have support to upload images.
 But this is well-supported by extensions. However,
 in my experience, it is *not* painless to use the
 uploaded images. One has to use a set of tags to
 incorporate the images into the pages (not too
 convenient).

 Adding images to suddirectories under the public directory
 is an option. However for security reasons, out sysadmins
 do not permit content providers to access the Radiant
 root directory. Even if they upload to a ftp area in
 the server, there is an additional step of moving those
 files into the Radiant public directory

 o It would be nice to have a convenient way to access
   images through the Admin interface and to easily 
   (less typing, yet intuitive) 'markup' the images in 
   the associated pages.
  
Mainly these are the items. So what I did was to make a customized
client for each of our content providers. Since I understand the
common-language used in this community, it was more convenient to 
go this way... also a convenient way to restrict access to the 
Radiant admin interface.

 Hi Ryan,

 Thanks for the encouraging comments.  The sparklines are done with
 the library described in

 BTW, neither the sparklines or the graphs are done in Radiant. My
 background is in climate research: though I do a bit with ruby, doing
 anything with Rails is yet beyond me.

 All the data and graphs are produced by our science team using
 scientific software such as the NCAR command Language (http://
 ncl.ucar.edu). We use a Drb based server to accept such data and
 incorporate them into the Radiant webpage.  Methods implemented
 within the Drb server will create sparklines and other such
 derivatives.  (The radiant administrative interface is  still a bit
 daunting for some of our scientists  - that is why we use a Drb  
 client).

 I am getting some of our web support team trained in Rails. We have
 plans to create a Rails based interface that will produce some of
 these graphs dynamically.

 BTW, I was encouraged to use Radiant after reading your very well

 hierarchy.  A nice neat auto-complete field that narrows down the list 
 of pages based on the text you type would be great.  After a few levels 
 of hierarchy and a lot of pages, I imagine the current navigation will 
 start to get a bit tedious.

 2. A way to change the published status of multiple pages from the index 
 page directly, rather than going to each page itself.

 3. On the page editing interface, a small link to View this page - 
 it's fine if it appears only after the page has been saved once (so that 
 Radiant can render that link).  It's a bit annoying to create a new 
 page, but then from the index page (View Site), there's no way to get 
 to the page since the parent page that may be connecting to it is still 
 in cache... and you must either expire cache or type in the full URL or 
 something.

 4. The View Site link to open up in a separate window.

 I think I do really  like the minimalist look of the admin page, but 
 some of the above ideas will hopefully not clutter it too much.

 Cheers,
 Mohit.

Richard and Saji,

No, I'm not planning to provide design services, sorry. I can give you  
some good referrals though. Email me at info at radiant factory dot  
com if you're interested.

Saji, i agree with the others - your site looks great. How are you  
doing the sparklines and graphs in Radiant? Good work on that site.

Sean,

Thanks for the encouraging comments. Maybe I should sit down and
put the finishing touches as you suggested.

Thanks anyway for this wonderful CMS!

 Saji,
 
 I concur with Richard.  Your design is very clean and probably only 
 needs a few finishing touches to integrate and re-balance certain sections.
