Hello, I tried to install Radiant, it seems to be almost installed, but the links are broken (and the style sheet is unaccessible). Here’s the content of my /home/charles/www/radiant/public/.htaccess: # General Apache options AddHandler fastcgi-script .fcgi #AddHandler cgi-script .cgi Options +FollowSymLinks +ExecCGI # If you don’t want Rails to look in certain directories, # use the following rewrite rules so that Apache won’t rewrite certain requests # # Example: # RewriteCond %{REQUEST\_URI} ^/notrails.\* # RewriteRule .\* - [L] # Redirect all requests not available on the filesystem to Rails # By default the cgi dispatcher is used which is very slow # # For better performance replace the dispatcher with the fastcgi one # # Example: RewriteRule ^(.\*)$ dispatch.fcgi [QSA,L] RewriteEngine On # If your Rails application is accessed via an Alias directive, # then you MUST also set the RewriteBase in this htaccess file. # # Example: # Alias /myrailsapp /path/to/myrailsapp/public # RewriteBase /myrailsapp RewriteRule ^$ index.html [QSA] RewriteRule ^([^.]+)$ $1.html [QSA] RewriteCond %{REQUEST\_FILENAME} !-f RewriteRule ^(.\*)$ dispatch.fcgi [QSA,L] # In case Rails experiences terminal errors # Instead of displaying this message you can supply a file here which will be rendered instead # # Example: # ErrorDocument 500 /500.html ErrorDocument 500 “ ## Application error Rails application failed to start properly” And here’s the public page: [http://www.auriance.com/radiant/public/](http://www.auriance.com/radiant/public/) I don’t know exactly what to comment/uncomment in .htaccess. Could you help me please? Thanks, ---

FYI. [http://www.seancribbs.com/](http://www.seancribbs.com/) is down I’m attempting to use Sean’s page\_attachments extension but I’ve installed it, migrated for it, and don’t see anything different in my admin interface. What am I missing? I looked for info at Sean’s site, but its down, and the README from the extension is empty. Thanks for any help.

You came to right place, Jim. I’ve been having issues with TxD, actually - they bot my mongrel process regularly. The SVN should still work, though. Anyway, I have not finished updating the extension for 0.6.x (nor ldap, aggregation, mailer, search, oy! the list goes on). The primary problem is that it changes the page-edit interface directly by overriding the template, but it should use another method. I apologize for my slowness on this, but I have a couple other projects going full-steam at the moment. I might have a chance to update it while flying out of town on Thursday. In the meantime, I would graciously accept patches! Sean ---

Updated! Changes: - Uses ‘facets-lite’ for adding the extra UI elements. - Included ‘update’ task for copying the JS/CSS files to the public/ folder. THIS IS REQUIRED FOR IT TO WORK. Use this line: rake radiant:extensions:page\_attachments:update - Test helper replaced (although tests may/may not work – wait for the next revision) - Now uses attachment\_fu instead of acts\_as\_attachment. - Attachments are not deleted until the page is saved. Accidentally removed one? Reload the page or navigate away without saving and your attachment will be preserved. Caveats/gotchas: - You must have at least one of RMagick, MiniMagick, or ImageScience installed for thumbnail generation to work. - Currently uses public file system for storage. If you want S3 or DB storage, DIY (minor changes necessary for S3). - Uses svn:externals to get the latest attachment\_fu. Not sure if this will work with an export method (svn gurus please comment?) of installation. - REQUIRES Radiant edge r432 or greater (critical enabling change). To get that, run rake radiant:freeze:edge Sean ---

Interesting. I couldn’t make attachment\_fu work with Radiant (there were issues with resolving its internal dependencies). - Uses svn:externals to get the latest attachment\_fu.

Dependencies code was unable to resolve some modules inside AttachmentFu so I needed to require stuff manually. I talked with Rick O. and found out the code is perfectly fine, but for some reason doesn’t work in a Radiant project. It was a couple days ago with the latest trunk checkout (then). ---

Just FYI, Initially I tried dumping the whole plugin into the lib directory of the extension, then requiring attachment\_fu/init. That didn’t work. Next I tried taking the contents of init.rb and putting it in the activate method of the extension, which worked previously. Still didn’t work. I also tried adding the lib directory of the attachment\_fu plugin to the $LOAD\_PATH (ugly hack, I know). Still didn’t work. In the end I had to revert to the method I took when I was using acts\_as\_attachment, and this can be used in general for any extensions that include plugins in their lib directory. 1. Take the entire contents of the init.rb file and put it somewhere in the activate method of your extension. 2. Export or use svn:externals to dump the contents of the plugin’s lib directory. If there are files in the root of the plugin’s lib directory, you won’t be able to use svn:externals. I had to do this with ‘geometry.rb’ from attachment\_fu. 3. Et voila! While there didn’t seem to be any fundamental name-collision between Radiant and attachment\_fu, be careful that plugins you include in an extension don’t clash with the ones from other extensions. In the future we’ll have a way to specify extension dependencies, which should hopefully abate some issues. Sean ---

When installing the extension on my TxD account, I found ImageScience was not configured properly, or one doesn’t have access to compilers to handle RubyInline or something like that. If someone else has gotten this to work, let me know. Otherwise, you can add this option to the “has\_attachment” call in app/models/page\_attachment.rb: :processor =\> :Rmagick Good luck! Sean ---

You mean because the name is page attachments? I think it’d be convenient to locate attachments in snippets too. Snippets need images just as much at pages. If a snippet had images maybe pages wouldn’t need quite as many. I guess, next your going to tell me layouts don’t need attachments either. Sure would be convenient. Steven ---

It’s a critical blocker, unless you want to go in and edit the template yourself. So no. I assume we’ll see 0.6.2 pretty soon. Sean ---

“inherited from parent pages” Yeah that makes perfect sense and I’m glad I understand it now. That’s useful information. Anyone using textile editor? It’s pretty cool but I was thinking the add image could use a little souping up. It’d be nice if when you selected attachments it’d show all the attachments that it inherits. Does that sound useful to anyone else? I keep going back and forth in which is better attachments or paperclipped they both are very useable and surprisingly different. Steven ---

Steven, Attachments can be inherited from parent pages. So if you attach an image to your Home page, then it will be available to all pages, layouts and snippets. Page attachments is a bit fussy: when you ask for a file that doesn’t belong to the current page (or its ancestors) it raises an exception. It could be dangerous if you were to call \ in a snippet or layout. If that snippet/layout was called from a page which didn’t have “image.jpg” attached, and nor did any of its ancestors, then an exception would be raised, and the page would not render. However, if you attached a “image.jpg” file to the home page, then it would be available to every page in the site, and the problem above would be avoided. Of course, you could attach an “image.jpg” file to any section. Then that section, and all its ancestors would use that file instead of the one attached to the home page. Does that make sense? The inheritance mechanism means that you can treat page attachments in a similar fashion to page parts. When you look at it that way, it should no longer seem necessary to be able to attach files to snippets and layouts. Cheers, Drew ---

I’m sorry if my answer came across as rude/ mean (cut me some slack - it was sent at 2:45AM) - I didn’t mean just the name. I meant to imply that it attaches to pages and is designed for that, while snippets often are included in multiple pages and may have different contexts. (I have some times used a single known page as the base referred from snippets). But definitely the explanation that followed my email was better! Cheers, Mohit. 4/17/2009 | 1:03 PM.
