Looks like it’s time for another release of Radiant: ``` http://radiantcms.org/download/ ``` This release contains a few major changes as well as numerous bug-fixes and enhancements. Included in the release are Rails 1.2.5, Prototype 1.6 and [script.aculo.us](http://script.aculo.us) 1.8. Significant refactorings have been done to the admin UI Javascripts, thanks to Mislav Marohnic. The release also provides better support for MS SQL Server via Rails ticket/patch #8886 and stricter XHTML compatibility. WHAT IS RADIANT CMS? Radiant is a no-fluff content management system made for designers and programmers and is ideal for use on small teams. It is similar to Movable Type or Textpattern, but is much more than a blogging engine. Radiant features: - An elegant user interface - The ability to arrange pages in a hierarchy - Flexible templating with layouts, snippets, page parts, and a custom tagging language (Radius: [http://radius.rubyforge.org](http://radius.rubyforge.org)) - A dynamic extension system - A simple user management/permissions system - Support for Markdown and Textile as well as traditional HTML (it’s easy to create other filters) - Operates in two modes: dev and production depending on the URL - A caching system which expires pages every 5 minutes - Built using Ruby on Rails (which means that extending Radiant is as easy as any other Rails application) - Licensed under the MIT-License - And much more… There’s even a live demo over on the project Web site: ``` http://radiantcms.org/demo/ ``` WHAT’S NEW IN THIS RELEASE? - Extract Archive pages into a core extension.

For starters you can download it with Ruby Gems: % gem install --include-dependencies radiant Once the Radiant gem is installed you have access to the `radiant` command. The `radiant` command is similar to the `rails` command (if you are from the Rails world. It’s how you generate a new Radiant project for a website. So `cd` to the directory where you would like your instance to be installed and type: % radiant -d [mysql|postgres|sqlite3] . Next, edit config/database.yml to taste. Then run the rake bootstrap task: % rake production db:bootstrap And start up the test server: % script/server -e production Finally, hit the /admin/ URL and you should be off to the races. See the README file in the release for additional details. If you are interested in other download options, visit the download page: [http://radiantcms.org/download/](http://radiantcms.org/download/). UPGRADING FROM 0.6.x 1. Update the Radiant gem: 2. Change the RADIANT\_GEM\_VERSION constant in config/environment.rb to “0.6.4”. 3. Run the update rake task: 4. Migrate the database (only necessary if upgrading from 0.6.2 or earlier): 5. Restart the server UPGRADING FROM 0.5.x The upgrade process changed significantly from last release, so listen up! To upgrade an existing installation, BACKUP YOUR DATABASE, update the gem, and create a new Radiant project using the instructions above. Then point Radiant to the right database by editing config/database.yml and execute the following command in your project directory: % rake db:migrate If you have problems during the upgrade, please let us know. CONTRIBUTORS Radiant wouldn’t be possible without the help of some fine people. The following people have made contributions to this release: Andrew N. zilkey Mark G. Bjorn Maeland ana Bodhi Philpot removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid Brian Skahan Mislav Marohnic Daniel S. John L. Peter B. Sean C. Thanks guys!

Mark, Actually, the issue is the reorder extension. It overrides \_node.rhtml (and other views, too) which was refactored (and simplified) in 0.6.4. I will try to take a pass at it this coming week. In the meantime, you can probably uninstall it and have your site still working. Of course, if you’re of the mind to fix it, patches are welcome! Sean ---

Like an idiot I first posted this to the dev list. Sorry to those that received it there. I just updated, and my back end broke (thank god for cacheing!). I have a bunch of extensions installed, but it looks like page attachments is the issue. I also have: Markdown Filter Textile Filter Forms Page Attachments Reorder Search Archive Please advise.

Never mind. I figured it out. Just removed it from the extensions directory, and removed it from the database. Very easy. I’m sure their is a remove migration command, but I was lucky on this one. And your right, now page attachments is working perfeclty. -Mark ---

I wish I had the skill set to write the patch. Is there an uninstall command I should know about? -Mark
