Do meta tags work in 0.6.4? I’m new to radiant and i’m trying to figure  
out how radiant works.

I’ve found  
[http://dev.radiantcms.org/svn/radiant/tags/rel\_0-6-4/extensions/](http://dev.radiantcms.org/svn/radiant/tags/rel_0-6-4/extensions/) with  
the list of extensions.

but that does not contain the meta tags extension that I found here:

[http://wiki.radiantcms.org/Thirdparty\_Extensions](http://wiki.radiantcms.org/Thirdparty_Extensions)

I’m fairly new to RoR

Hey there Jasper, I developed the Meta Tags extension and it works just  
fine under 0.6.4.

As to the repository at [http://dev.radiantcms.org/svn](http://dev.radiantcms.org/svn)… That’s a  
special set of extensions that is stored in the Radiant Subversion  
Repository (not sure what gets you in that list – I’m guessing you need  
to be a member of the radiant core team of developers). The rest of us  
mere mortals 😉 host our stuff wherever we have server space.

Anyway, if you look at the list on the Thirdparty Extensions page  
([http://wiki.radiantcms.org/Thirdparty\_Extensions](http://wiki.radiantcms.org/Thirdparty_Extensions)), you’ll see that it’s  
broken into three sections:

1. Extensions from the Radiant Subversion Repository (this includes  
the …/rel\_0-6-4/extensions/ you found)
2. Extensions from the Ruby-Lang Subversion Repository (not sure if  
those are radiant extensions or whether some are actually rails  
plugins)
3. Other Extensions (that’s the rest of us - and sorry, there’s not a  
good system to identify which extensions are compatible with which  
versions of radiant I’m afraid)

I hope that helps. Welcome to the party.

Thanks Chris,

I will check it out.

Also I will keep notes on my first development of a website. I’ve found  
lots of info on extensions. Layout building info seems sparse I’ll  
contribute.

I’m not new to CMS’s, I’ve done a number of sites on drupal so i’m  
getting my bearings. I like the natural content organization of the cms.

I’ve went through the install ok on my site with site5. In the end i’ve  
downloaded the entire install rather then the gem install. The admin  
kept reporting that I had version 0.6.1.

I do have 3 questions, maybe you can help me get directly to the info

1. how can I construct a contact form, it that the mailer extension?
2. does any of the editors (tinymce, fckeditor or wym) work with images  
uploads?
3. can a user role be added of a “member” to the site?

Jasper

btw the wiki seems to be inaccessible alot. Any idea why?

Please don’t take my answers as gospel - but I hope they help. Perhaps  
some others could offer some helpful insight here…

See answers below:

Yes, the mailer extension is the one I’ve heard of most (though never  
used). Others may be able to chime in with additional solutions (and  
which ones work with the most recent version of Radiant).

I’ve been talking with an individual on the core team about a more  
general forms solution for Radiant but that is still in _early_  
pre-alpha.

There are a couple of image upload solutions out there and there are  
several content editor extensions too. I’d go to the content editor  
extension developers directly about adding in images directly. Seems  
like someone mentioned the capability (though I’m not sure if the  
solution was publicly available).

Anyone else here?

> 1. can a user role be added of a “member” to the site?

Radiant isn’t really geared that way - though you could extend it to do  
so. There was a recent discussion on this (try searching the mailing  
list for “Role Based Access Control”). I think the consensus was that  
membership and admin users are separate things (and the former are up to  
you to build).

No idea - been seeing that too.

Hmm. Are you using any other extensions (your command migrates _all_  
extensions)?

Other than that, In my local development environment, I have a working  
Radiant 0.6.4 with the page\_meta extension. The only reference to  
“require\_gem” that I can find is in config/boot.rb on line 28.

Can any of your core guys offer any insight here?

Use the --trace option with rake to figure out on what file/line the  
command is failing, then paste the results to us.

Thanks Chris,

ok specific questions about the page\_meta extension:

I’ve got it down to install on site5 hosting, I’ve got the extension  
installed using svn

after the rake production db:migrate:extensions I get:

rake production db:migrate:extensions  
/usr/bin/rake:17:Warning: require\_gem is obsolete. Use gem instead.  
(in /home/jasperko/wisconsindells)  
rake aborted!  
uninitialized constant ApplicationController

what am i doing wrong?

Well, it’s clear that the error is being triggered by my extension. And  
Sean C. was nice enough to point out that I need:  
require\_dependency ‘application’  
in my extension initialization for the fancy stuff I’m adding to core  
components.

So I’ve updated my extension and uploaded this new version to my  
repository here:  
[https://secure.svnrepository.com/s\_swanki/open/radiant/extensions/page\_meta/tags/v0.1.6/](https://secure.svnrepository.com/s_swanki/open/radiant/extensions/page_meta/tags/v0.1.6/)

Try that and tell me if that works (feel free to just email me off-list  
if we need to do more digging).
