Integrating radiant in existing rails application

Ruby Apps Radiant CMS
1

I need to integrate radiant in our existing rails application.
We have our own authentication system for our site.
I have searched and found some solutions but not upto the mark.
I have followed the link
http://wiki.radiantcms.org/Installation
but it only tells to set up a new application.
Can anybody tell me how should i proceed to achieve this.
Thanks in advance…

Hi Arpit,
radius is the tag language that is used inside radiant cms. for
example in one of your pages you could have a line <r:snippet
name=“footer” /> which will include a snippet named “footer”. Here is an
example from a layout that comes with radiant:

Posted by on

and that another example for a home page
<r:find url=“/articles/”>

<r:children:each limit=“1” order=“desc”>

Posted by on

<r:children:each limit=“4” offset=“1” order=“desc”>

Posted by on

</r:find>

when you actually try to add a new page under radiant there is a link
there for available tags.
Documentation for radius tags inside of radiant can be found in

for the mini_radiant plugin, I have never used it before and don’t have
much knowledge about it sorry. but make sure you search this forum it
has been great help for me.

Thanks
