Hi all, I’ve just implemented 2 new features in the Gallery extension. The first one is that now it’s possible to create nested galleries. So a Gallery could be a container for other galleries. The second feature is the image editing page. It’s only a super beta version ( 😛 ), but you can crop an image working with the original file. I used the cropper library that someone mentioned in the last days here. Thanx for the advice 🙂 In the next days I will release a semi-stable version… and then a will add some other functionalities in the image editing page. Let me know what you think about it!

Hooray for cropping! Thanks for taking the time to implement this, Andrea. ---

Just curious: What would be the best way to upgrade my Gallery installation to this latest version? I installed the original via SVN… should I just run # svn [http://darcs.bigchieflabs.com/radiant/extensions/gallery/](http://darcs.bigchieflabs.com/radiant/extensions/gallery/) … and will I need to rake anything afterwards to get the new changes running? Thanks, \*dan ---

Dan, Make sure you have a development database setup, and have defined it’s parameters in the database.yml file (radiant/public/config). ---

I forgot to mention that this was right on the money. I had only set up parameters for the production database. That worked fine until i tried to install this extension. Thanks! Dan ---

Ok. i found this: skill -9 -u username -c dispatch.fcgi to restart the fcgi process. It works! (by which i mean it doesn’t raise an error). Now, if i can only figure out how to make the gallery work… ---

A couple of weeks ago I posted a patch to add Gibberish support to Radiant. It was actually quite easy. I have a post over on the dev list at Google groups, but that one is _very_ slow. Has anyone (especially from the core team) had a look? I still feel strongly that we should get going on this, it will only get harder. And Gibberish is great, and makes everything very easy to maintain. Take a look Patch Number 504, I think. Unfortunately the site is down, so I can’t check… Keith B.

Thanks, just curious, as I had heard nothing. I haven’t done the Textile and Markdown plugins, which mainly means the reference. What are thoughts on this? Do people think it is required?

Not sure if this is the kind of thing you were looking for but for our CMS we’ve created a helper to drop in a Textile editor for text areas.

I was merely referring to the documentation that is included in Radiant for both Textile and Markdown. I am trying to translate the Radiant interface, or more correctly, make it translatable.
