Folks, Here’s the moment you have all been waiting for (or at least I’d like to think)! For the past four to five months I have been working with the wonderful team at Digital Pulp to develop the new website for Redken. We are proud to say that it has had its official launch this morning! Check it out: > **[Home](https://www.redken.com/)** > > Browse our range of professional hair color, hair care & hair styling products. Discover conditioners, shampoos, hair masks, dry shampoos, hair dyes & more. - and - [http://redkensalon.com](http://redkensalon.com) It has been an incredible experience working with them, and the Radiant community has greatly benefited. We have released two new versions of Radiant and numerous extensions during this tenure. The following extensions were a direct result of my work for Digital Pulp: - shards ([http://dev.radiantcms.org/svn/radiant/trunk/extensions/shards](http://dev.radiantcms.org/svn/radiant/trunk/extensions/shards)) - related\_content ([http://dev.radiantcms.org/svn/radiant/trunk/extensions/related\_content](http://dev.radiantcms.org/svn/radiant/trunk/extensions/related_content)) - reorder, the non-Ajax version ([http://dev.radiantcms.org/svn/radiant/trunk/extensions/reorder](http://dev.radiantcms.org/svn/radiant/trunk/extensions/reorder)) - scheduler ([http://dev.radiantcms.org/svn/radiant/trunk/extensions/scheduler](http://dev.radiantcms.org/svn/radiant/trunk/extensions/scheduler)) - share\_layouts ([http://dev.radiantcms.org/svn/radiant/trunk/extensions/share\_layouts](http://dev.radiantcms.org/svn/radiant/trunk/extensions/share_layouts)) - multi\_site ([http://dev.radiantcms.org/svn/radiant/trunk/extensions/multi\_site](http://dev.radiantcms.org/svn/radiant/trunk/extensions/multi_site)) I also intend to release a some more over the next weeks, after they have been cleaned up for public consumption, namely: - file\_system - Save/load Radiant models to/from the file system so they can be managed in an SCM - templates - Structure pages externally and provide a customized interface for editing - asset\_manager - A full-featured asset manager, with mass upload, asset expiration, usage reports, and FCKEditor integration A big thank you and congratulations to all of the team at Digital Pulp (in no particular order) – John, Justin, Josh, Michael, Alex, Brian, Sarah, David; and to my good friend Scotty Moon who also helped on the project. Cheers, Sean ---

Sorry I didn’t explain that! Only the US site(s) are hosted with Radiant. All of the international sites were untouched by this project. Sean ---

Hi Sean, Does the FCKEditor integration comment indicate that you have a working FCKEditor extension for page editing? I have been trying get fckeditor working for page editing but the results have been a bit inconsistent. Cheers, Mark ---

Mark, Yes, we have an FCKeditor extension, but it’s so customized, I’m not sure how well it will translate to the outside world. Correct me if I’m wrong, but there is an existing FCK extension. I wrote one from scratch, with just a few ideas from an existing WYSIWYG extension (being able to toggle the control on and off). Normally I don’t recommend a WYSIWYG editor for Radiant because of the potential smattering of Radius tags that would not be understood by the editor. We got by with this in two ways: 1. Most pages used a template (one of the mentioned extensions) that hid the majority of the Radius code. 2. For the tags that HAD to be in the editable content areas, we made sure they could operate as singletons (they automatically render a snippet) and used FCK to generate placeholders inside them. I believe we had only two kinds of these. Redken is also a very graphic-intensive site, so most pages consisted of several graphics in a row without text. So FCK was mostly used to preview the inserted images. Sean ---

This is awesome, what a benefit to all of us. Thanks! I’m really looking forward to the templates and asset\_manager. Now on the flip side… can’t you tell someone over there that in Canada we don’t have zip codes? It’s confusing - when I see ‘zip code’, most of the time it means I have to find the ‘Canada’ selector or Canadian addresses aren’t allowed on that form. On this site, I pre- selected my country, so I should expect not to have to see the dreaded ‘zip code’ field. e.g. [http://www.redken.ca/\_en/\_ca/salon/index.aspx](http://www.redken.ca/_en/_ca/salon/index.aspx)? ---

Sean, Thanks for the help. Yep, there is a fck extension which I only used briefly as I had some issues with it (I can’t recall what didn’t work/fit for me). Since then I have been using the fck plugin at [http://rubyforge.org/projects/fckeditorp/](http://rubyforge.org/projects/fckeditorp/) with a radiant extension which replaces the textarea if the filter type is “RichText”. With fck setup to ignore radiant tags, this was working fine, until uploading documents broke. I just can’t figure out why uploading is no longer working. If you can share your fck extension I would grateful. It may help me work out what has gone wrong for me. Also, is it possible to install a rails plugin within a radiant extension? Cheers, Mark ---

Hey Sean, Any word on that Asset Manager? I’d love see your approach to it (aside from page\_attachments) ---

Arik, I will attack it on Radiant Day (this Friday, April 18). There’s another DP extension that got mentioned in the podcast that I should release, too. Sean
