One of the cool things of radiant is that [dev.yourdomain.com](http://dev.yourdomain.com) shows radiant in development modes… so you can see the draft pages… BUT I would like to turn of some of the live scripts… like google analytics javascript. Is there an easy way to determine if a page is rendered in development mode ? Thanks, Peter ---

They seem generally useful. – John ---

Hi John, Thanks, I will give a shot at it. Seems like a good way to return something back to the community :). Peter. On 7/16/07, John L.

I have a rough version ready… but I’m still learning some internals so I can write the proper test code as well. Added the patch to this ticket: [http://dev.radiantcms.org/radiant/ticket/517](http://dev.radiantcms.org/radiant/ticket/517) Any comments on how this should (and could!) be better are highly appreciated.

Basis test code [http://pastie.caboo.se/79264](http://pastie.caboo.se/79264) The if and unless tags rely on the request object from the page. That way the host can be accessed. I can’t seem to simulate that in the test. Anyone with some insight? Thanks Peter. On 7/16/07, Peter B.
