Hi All,

John, Radiant is fantastic!

Im working on a company website and wanted to build a couple of  
components -

1. Contact Us

- Hoping to get a starting point for form processing (w/ captcha) and  
sending email from radiant.
  - Are samples out there of form processing and / or mailing?
  - For captcha, I found the following site -  
[http://ajaxonrails.wordpress.com/2006/10/24/captcha-in-ruby-on-rails-customize-the-use-of-captcha-in-the-plugin-validates\_captcha/but](http://ajaxonrails.wordpress.com/2006/10/24/captcha-in-ruby-on-rails-customize-the-use-of-captcha-in-the-plugin-validates_captcha/but)  
Im uncertain if that can be implemented in Radiant or only in a RoR  
app  
built from scratch.

1. Submit Your Resume

- Same as the contact us form, but extends to include submission of PDF.  
Any  
examples?

1. Embedding RoR Application
  - We’re building a RoR application and were hoping to embed this in  
a  
section in radiant. Are there examples of this?

Looking forward to any help,

Colin

Hey Colin-

I’m pretty new to Radiant but YES Radiant can do the things you  
described, however you will have to do a little digging around on the  
web and mailing lists.

See my comments…

There is a “mailer behaviour” that folks are using for emailing, I  
haven’t used it yet but so see alot of list traffic about it. It’s  
yaml based so watch your white spaces.

> 1. Embedding RoR Application

This is what I found to be REALLY SWEET, you’ll want the ‘mental’  
branch for this stuff. I played around with it and was basically able  
to dump an existing RoR app into Radiant. There was a pretty good post  
somewhere about this, you use a ‘generator’ to get your ‘extension’  
generated.

I hope you know Ruby and RoR cause you’re gonna need to dig around in  
some code to make these things happen. But I think using Radiant is  
good for what you described. I’m going to be using it on several such  
apps myself.

Good luck-  
MJ
