Hi Giovanni, I ran into a problem with your language\_redirect extension. I am using radiant 0.6RC2 and the extension directly from [http://svn1.hosted-projects.com/medlar/language\_redirect\_extension/language\_redirect/](http://svn1.hosted-projects.com/medlar/language_redirect_extension/language_redirect/) ). Ruby complains about a missing method or local variable ‘config’ (see error below). If I look into /vendor/extensions/language\_redirect/app/models/language\_redirect\_page.rb I can see the usage of config, but no definition. What am I missing? Thanks Nancy — error below. NameError (undefined local variable or method `config’ for #LanguageRedirectPage:0x2b4781d13578): /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/radiant-0.6.0/vendor/rails/activerecord/lib/active\_record/base.rb:1861:in `method\_missing’ /home/rails-apps/radiant/vendor/extensions/language\_redirect/app/models/language\_redirect\_page.rb:47:in `location\_map’ /home/rails-apps/radiant/vendor/extensions/language\_redirect/app/models/language\_redirect\_page.rb:35:in `location’ /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/radiant-0.6.0/vendor/rails/activerecord/lib/active\_record/base.rb:1941:in `find’ /home/rails-apps/radiant/vendor/extensions/language\_redirect/app/models/language\_redirect\_page.rb:34:in `each’ ---

I haven’t looked through my code since I wrote it, but if I remember correctly config is the config page part. Try using the extension on a page with a config page part and let me know.

I’ll check the sources, maybe there are some differences between the version I wrote it for and the current release. I’ll let you know asap. 2007/3/26, Nancy C. [removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid](mailto:removed_email_address@domain.invalid): ---

Ok, I updated the extension, now it should work. Let me know 🙂 2007/3/26, Giovanni I. [removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid](mailto:removed_email_address@domain.invalid): ---

That’s what I did, thanks 🙂 You used YAML while I simply made a hash out of it. BTW what’t the best way to store configs now? 2007/3/26, Sean C. [removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid](mailto:removed_email_address@domain.invalid): ---

For example, the mailer extension would probably be much better if it created a “Mailers” tab where you could create custom mailer objects just like any other object in Radiant. Then the extension wouldn’t need to use a custom page type. The radius tags could be global which would allow them to be used on any page. – John L.

About 3-4 months ago, the core team deprecated the ‘config’ part. If you still want to use it, feel free to nab the code for it from the mailer extension. I believe it’s toward the top of mailer\_page.rb. Sean ---

John you’re right, as usual, any pointers to examples of full blown extensions to get inspiration from? I stopped following the development lately (my fault) and I need some pointer to catch up. 2007/3/26, John W.

Wow! You guys are so great! I go outside and sit in the sunshine for an hour, do my grocery shopping and come back and you have solved almost every problem I have in the world. The ruby error message is gone and is replaced by a “302 found” in my browser. Hope this helps. Best regards, Nancy Giovanni I. schrieb: ---

The ldap extension uses a lot of the new features that are available for extensions: [http://dev.radiantcms.org/radiant/browser/branches/mental/extensions/ldap](http://dev.radiantcms.org/radiant/browser/branches/mental/extensions/ldap) See also: [http://dev.radiantcms.org/radiant/wiki/Extensions](http://dev.radiantcms.org/radiant/wiki/Extensions) – John L.

302 is a redirection. I tried the extension on a clean radiant install and it worked fine. Now to be sure it works create a blank config page part and put the following lines: \*:/something de:/something en:/something no spaces or newlines before or after. 2007/3/26, Nancy C.
