Ruby Apps Radiant CMS
1

On behalf of the Singapore Ruby brigade, I’m forwarding this to the
Radiant mailing list.

I’ll be doing a very brief introduction to Radiant at this talk. So, if
any of you are in Singapore, maybe you want to come along and support my
presentation, filling in the gaps where I don’t know what I’m saying…
:slight_smile:

Cheers
Mohit.

Hi Sean,

Thanks! It’s the first of what I hope will be 2 talks - this one will
introduce the basics of how to use Radiant as a CMS and also give a
brief intro of how to use the built-in Radius tags and, perhaps, how to
add your own tags using extensions. I don’t think I shall go into the
details of how to add a more complex extension (similar to the
LinkRoll).

The next talk - which I hope will be in Jan (if there’s any interest),
will go more into extensions. Thanks for the support and all the help
you’ve given me in getting me off the ground. I just see this as a good
chance to spread the word :slight_smile:

[Not sure if anyone here is that basic, but I added a small entry to
my blog on how to show the dates when creating a list of child pages -
I’m piggybacking this info in this email cos the steps are so simple
that they do not deserve a separate email of their own. The URL for it
is:

Cheers,
