I’ve teased you long enough! The Mailer extension has been added to the Radiant repository. You can find it at: [http://dev.radiantcms.org/svn/radiant/branches/mental/extensions/mailer/](http://dev.radiantcms.org/svn/radiant/branches/mental/extensions/mailer/) The code has only been slightly modified from what is on our live site, kckcc.edu, mainly to bring it in line with the latest revision of ‘mental’. Feel free to send questions about how to get it working to the list, I’ll answer as best I can. Cheers, Sean C. ---

Nice! We’ll try it out. Are you going to do the same with event calendar and LDAP stuff you mentioned? ---

I’ll definitely release the LDAP. The event calendar is okay, but I’m not especially proud of it. It works fine, it’s just that the UI sucks. I’d be happy to accept patches for any of them, of course. Now I just need to get my TxD SVN working again. Sean ---

Sean, Can you give a brief explanation on how to install this? Is there a rake task to install all the files in the necessary places? Thanks, BJ Clark ---

I checked out the mailer code and it worked great for me. The part that tripped me up was editing the environment.rb file as mentioned here: [http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/pages/HowToSendEmailsWithActionMailer](http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/pages/HowToSendEmailsWithActionMailer) ---

I’ve got some LDAP authentication stuff I wrote for Radiant (and Retrospectiva) that I’d be happy to contribute code from. And making the UI not suck 🙂 Love to see that one get released! Should do the same with mine, really, but it too needs spit & polish -jamie ---

Yes, here we go. There are a couple ways of doing this, depending on how comfortable you are with SVN. My favorite way is to do svn propedit svn:externals vendor/extensions Make sure you have an EDITOR environment variable set (like vi or pico or whatever). Then save this line to the property: mailer [http://dev.radiantcms.org/svn/radiant/branches/mental/extensions/mailer](http://dev.radiantcms.org/svn/radiant/branches/mental/extensions/mailer) After you’ve saved that property, run `svn update` and it will download the latest code. Other ways include using `svn export` to dump the files directly to `vendor/extensions/mailer`. If you want to use the Javascript email-encryption stuff make sure to copy `email.js` to your `public/javascripts` directory. The only other thing to change, which is very instance-specific, is the general ActionMailer delivery settings, which are described here: [ActionMailer::Base](http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActionMailer/Base.html) . The two you’ll want to manipulate are server\_settings and delivery\_method. Sean
