Hello all, I’ll be honest, I fell in love with radiant and I am using it for our company website and for two customers. While working with radiant I’ve found I need some features that are not there (still? :)) can you tell me if there are plugins for those or if I should implement them myself or if they’re in the pipeline? 1. Export / Import parts of the tree. I work on customers’ websites on subtrees of the main site, it would be great to be able to export those subtrees so I could import them into a new installation and have the site work fine. 2. More user roles. Once a site is finished I would like to give users a way to access it and only post content in certain sections. 3. Multisite radiant. I saw on the wiki there is a nice way to have radiant work with multiple sites, but that way I have to be the only one who can edit the sites, because giving admin access to a user automatically gives him the permission to edit pages in the other sites. 4. Move and rearrange the Pages/Layouts. This is just a minor annoyance but would be nice 🙂 If something is outside the scope of radiant please be harsh with me I promise I won’t go and cry into the closet 🙂 John, Radiant is a nice piece of software 🙂 ---

2006/9/11, John W. Long [removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid](mailto:removed_email_address@domain.invalid): Better export and import code is in the pipeline. I’m not sure if it > will be as granular as you suggest above, but I am definitely open to > the possibility. Right now I’m just recreating the structure on the deploy server and cut’n’pasting the content. It’s not a big problem since I usually move the site when the structure is done but the content isn’t there yet. Nonetheless an export / import feature would be cool 🙂 I’m reading throught radiant’s code, I hope I will be able to contribute soon. > 1. More user roles.

I browsed through the patches yesterday, the models have been patched, there’s the need to rewrite the JS for the admin section. ---

I need this and several others have asked for it. Yes, I would like to implement it. > 1. Move and rearrange the Pages/Layouts. This is just a minor annoyance but > would be nice 🙂 Agreed. There have been a few patches submitted for this. I’m not sure of their present status though. – John L. [http://wiseheartdesign.com](http://wiseheartdesign.com) ---

Wouldn’t #2 & #3 be essentially the same? One would just filter through a domain while the other only a folder. That is, if the multisite setup is the same as the one I saw a while ago, where each site is a heirarchy of folders. Just my non-technical .02, Erik M. ---

Yes it’s mostly the same, but one can have 2 without 3 🙂 2006/9/11, Erik M. [removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid](mailto:removed_email_address@domain.invalid):
