Basic question abt tags

Ruby Apps Radiant CMS
1

This is a very simple question about extensions & tags - in the
literature that I’ve seen, it’s not clear if I can define tags without
creating an extension first. (sorry if I missed something in the
tutorials)

I’d like to create a bunch of tags to automatically create links in a
block of text and it doesn’t really require all the things that an
extension seems to do :stuck_out_tongue:

Also, is there a tag or theme repository for Radiant?

Cheers,
Mohit.

Extensions are the “Right way” of doing it. Simply because an extension
offers more doesn’t mean you need to use it all. Note the markdown and
textile filter extensions that are included in the standard
distribution. They don’t do anything but define text filters.

That said, you could write a plugin (in the traditional Rails sense) and
put the hook code in the plugin instead of the “activate” method of an
extension.

Hi Sean,

Thanks for the qick reply! Just wanted to be sure that there wasn’t
another simpler thing that allowed creation of only tags. I guess I’ll
just create an ‘extension’ that includes all my site-specific tags.
Other extensions can be for more general things.

Cheers,
Mohit.
