Hi Guys, I'm going to be starting a new site in Radiant (have two others on 0.5.2 already) and wanted to work with mental. Should I just take the current revision or is there a specific one I should target? Also, does mental require 1.2/edge? Cheers, Marty __

Great, so just to confirm before I attempt this. The steps for upgrading from a 0.5.2 radiant site (installed via gems, no unpack) to mental is this: 1) do an svn:co into my site directory (which will put all the radiant/rails 1.2 pre release over the old generated radiant rails app). cd my_sit

Daniel, Could not agree the more. It's a step many people either skip or give for granted. Before you do any kind of migration you MUST back up all the DB, and all the radiant 0.5.x files your site is currently using. In fact, unless you are tinkering with a testing/dev intall, you need to make ba

I just installed the mental branch on textdrive. It seems to run pretty well. The Assets Manager I wrote has a few problems, because it is based on acts_as_attachment, which uses RMagick.

Todd, Tentatively, yes. The extensions API is in great flux right now, as John and the core team hammer it out. However, it is mostly functional and you can start using it today. However, I don't see that it will be too much trouble if you create your behaviors now, and then migrate them over
