Has anyone gotten the reoder extension to work with the file\_system  
extension? It seems to be dumping the position column of the pages,  
but on reimport they are no longer there. A quick look (very quick…)  
didn’t reveal anything to me.

Any ideas?

It works OK for me. I’ve just set up a test, using the latest versions  
of reorder and file\_system. I ran `rake file_system:to_files`, which  
created the sitemap on my filesystem, then ran `rake file_system:to_db` and everything made its way back into the database.  
The position column was intact. I also tried editing the position  
values as captured in yaml files on the file system. Loading the files  
back into the db, the position values were updated to those I had  
edited in the files.

Perhaps you are not running the latest version of the file\_system  
extension? Try updating it. If the problem persists, let us know.

Cheers,

p.s. Just for the record: the latest reorder extension has been  
upgraded to work with Radiant 0.7. To make it work with Radiant 0.6.9,  
I had to change the file reorder\_extension.rb as follows:

def activate  
…  
Admin::PagesController.send :include,  
Reorder::PagesControllerExtensions  
Admin::PagesController.send :helper, Reorder::PageHelper  
…  
end

to

def activate  
…  
Admin::PageController.send :include,  
Reorder::PagesControllerExtensions  
Admin::PageController.send :helper, Reorder::PageHelper  
…  
end
