Hi all, I’m currently converting my website ([codefluency.com](http://codefluency.com)) from Typo to Radiant (radiant version at [http://new.codefluency.com](http://new.codefluency.com)); I’ve needed to use a full CMS for some time now to help document and manage a number of projects, and Radiant seems to fit the bill nicely. > From the Radiant weblog (and from my experiences thus far) I can see > that Radiant can be a great system for blogging (which would still be > a portion of my content), and I know that adding commenting is > somewhere on the roadmap.

I was just wondering a few things. 1. Has anyone already started working on commenting? 2. If not, do you have any ideas on how it would best implemented in Radiant? (via a behavior & a new model w/ an association to Page, for instance?) The reason I’m asking this is that I probably will cave in and start building something at some point in the future in the event no one’s working on it (#1), and as I’m fairly new to Radiant (though certainly not Rails), I could definitely use a hint as the best road to go down (#2). Cheers, Bruce ---

Hi Bruce, I’ve started work on a forum behavior , not commenting per see but the two ideas could be merged. It’s pretty simple, I’m using Tobias’ Opinion as an example. I was actually distracted by how to package it up. At the moment there’s a bunch of models, a controller etc. I’ve set it up plugin style like the gallery behavior. I think route #2 sounds like the way to go, although you could make it a full Blog behavior and add has\_many :comments with a corresponding model. Or is that what you meant ? rodney On 6/6/06, Bruce W. [removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid](mailto:removed_email_address@domain.invalid) wrote: > somewhere on the roadmap.

Hi Rodney, I’ll suggest take a look at RailMail [http://agilewebdevelopment.com/plugins/rail\_mail](http://agilewebdevelopment.com/plugins/rail_mail) That actually hook controller and models to the load path. For the admin side, we will need some sort of register (like Behaviors) on the controllers that will be available as tabs for the admins… what do you think? Regards, ## – Luis L.

RailMail was a example, inside it you could see how it “extend” the paths to include the models, controllers and views inside the plugin. ## – Luis L.

Bruce e-mailed me off list about this and we have been discussing adding a comments system to Radiant. It sounds like he’s interested in implementing it, so it may make it into the mix a head of schedule. – John L. [http://wiseheartdesign.com](http://wiseheartdesign.com) ---

hi, i’m looking at railsmail tnx ! so you want a Mail tab in Radiant an basically build a behavior that works with RailsMail ? not sure how this relates to commenting/forum behavior though 🙂 but i’m a radiant newbie , so you’ll probably forgive my ignorance /r/r On 6/7/06, Luis L.
