Programmatically getting access to the layout?

Ruby Apps Radiant CMS
1

Hi !

I am looking into using RadiantCMS in another software. The admins
will manage the content using RadiantCMS, while I will generate views.
Think E-Commerce.

Obviously, I’d like the layouts to be defined only once – DRY. Is
there a pre-defined way to get to the layout and reuse it in regular
Rails views ?

Please note I haven’t dug into the code yet, but since this is
something I need, I would be interested in coding it if need be.

Thanks !

Not at the moment. If you are interested in making this work take a look
at #process on Behavior::Base:

http://dev.radiantcms.org/radiant/browser/trunk/radiant/app/models/behavior.rb

If the software you are creating is radically different from Radiant,
you could just use Radius within your own administration system. Radius
is the library that Radiant uses to process the <r:tag_name /> tags:

some
useful advise, have a look at this

No, it is

not radically different. I just need a CMS that goes around
the parts that I
code. My first task will be attempting to make
Radiant an Engine or a plugin,
so I can integrate it with my own
application.

I will look at how to get the

layout programmatically.

Thanks !
