Extended content in distributed example

Ruby Apps Radiant CMS
1

In the distribution example, the Home Page has a line of code

<r:if_content part=“extended”>
<r:link anchor=“extended”>
Continue Reading…
</r:link>
</r:if_content>

(Its one one line in the example)
Since its in the context of the ‘child’ I presume it refers to the
child.

When viewed as the web site I’m prototyping this has a link to

http://server:3000/presentations/2007/01/27/jan-27th-event/#extended

However when I click on that link I get take to a page that has that in
the
address bar but is identical to
http://server:3000/presentations/2007/01/27/jan-27th-event

That is: the content I put in the ‘extended’ tab that I created for that
for
that page doesn’t appear. Actually I’m surprised the base page appears!

What am I doing wrong or misunderstanding?

In the layout of your child page (which might be the same as the parent)
you need to render the “extended” part. So somewhere in the layout, you
should find something like this:

<r:content />
<r:if_content part=“extended”>

The first line renders the “body” part, then, if there is an “extended”
part, it is rendered inside a div with an anchor named “extended”.

So it wasn’t me, the distributed example was buggy.

I can see that will render the extended part as well as body.
I’m confused!

I’ve just set up Mental along side the Radiant-0.5.2
In the out of the box Mental adding a ‘extended’ tab to ‘First Post’
results in
The parent blog format shows third, second and first posts
The parent view has ‘first post’ showing:

     First Post

The link is to

http://server:3000/articles/2006/06/09/first-post/#extended
Clicking on the link takes me to ‘first post’
which shows.

    First Post

    This post uses textile.
    This is extended content

Which (a) is not what I expected because (b)
the main part *and* the extended content are shown.
I don't see anything that would cause this.

The side-by-side 0.5.2 doesn’t behave that way.
clicking on the ‘Continue reading’ link brings up, as I said, a page
with
that same url, but is not displaying either the extended content or
the
main body.

REPEAT: Mental and 0.5.2. have different behaviours
REPEAT: I don’t think either behaviour is correct.

This doesn’t make sense to me.
In the layout the code to display the sidebar doesn’t cause the main
body to
be displayed in the sidebar.

I continue to be confused but am coming to believe the problem
is not my ignorance though it may be my assumptions.
