I am a new radiant user am have some difficulty getting the comments extension working. I have svn exported the required extensions code to: /var/radiant/extensions/comments and /var/radiant/extensions/admin\_part and have successfully migrated the database: rake db:migrate:extensions If I enable the extensions and in the admin interface and click on any of my existing pages or the comments tab I get: Status: 500 Internal Server Error Content-Type: text/html Application error (Apache) Change this error message for exceptions thrown outside of an action (like in Dispatcher setups or broken Ruby code) in public/500.html I also get an error in the production log: NameError

Hi Teyo, Which comments extension are you using?

Hey Ryan, I am indeed using your extension. Sorry about the typos in my first post it was late. The correct path is /var/radiant/vendor/extensions/admin\_parts & /var/radiant/vendor/extensions/comments. -teyo > Hi Teyo, > > Which comments extension are you using?

Are you using the latest version of Radiant? If not, you may be having problems with the routes that the comments extension is using. I recommend updating to the latest Radiant. Let me know if you already are, and I’ll look into it further. - Ryan On Oct 11, 2007, at 11:37 AM, Teyo Tyree wrote: > > - Ryan > > admin\_part > > Application error (Apache) > > dependencies.rb:266:in > > `rescue_action' actionpack/lib/action_controller/session_management.rb:114:in /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mongrel-1.0.1/lib/mongrel/rails.rb: /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mongrel-1.0.1/lib/mongrel.rb: command.rb:211:in /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/radiant-0.6.3/vendor/rails/ lib/action_controller/rescue.rb:109:in /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/radiant-0.6.3/vendor/rails/actionpack/ `process\_client’ > > `run’ > > > > Any help would be greatly appreciated! > > > > -teyo > > * * * > > Radiant mailing list > Post: removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid > Search: [http://radiantcms.org/mailing-list/search/](http://radiantcms.org/mailing-list/search/) > Site: [http://lists.radiantcms.org/mailman/listinfo/radiant](http://lists.radiantcms.org/mailman/listinfo/radiant) * * * Ryan H.

So I completely reinstalled radiant on a virtual machine and reproduced the same issues I have with the comments plugin. I just don’t know how to proceed. Any debugging suggestions would be awesome. I really want to use radiant for a project, but I absolutely have to have some commenting functionality. -teyo ---

Ryan, I am using radiant 0.6.3. Then latest version of admin\_parts and the most recent version of your comments extension. -teyo ---

Hi Teyo, You’ll need to install the will\_paginate plugin (svn://errtheblog.com/ svn/plugins/will\_paginate). Make sure to put it in: RAILS\_ROOT/vendor/plugins/will\_paginate I’ve updated the README file to reflect this requirement. Sorry for the confusion. - Ryan ---
