Hi there,

I wanted to ask if it’s possible to run Radiant with the Relative Path  
Plugin?

Regards,  
Christof

I’m not familiar with that plugin. What is it that you are trying to do?

The admin pages should work with the relative path plugin, but the  
actual site itself might be an issue because it doesn’t actually use  
url\_for, which is what the relative path plugin hooks into. Oh, and by  
the way, you’d be using a ReverseProxy directive in apache, not an  
Alias.

The problem that you’ll have is that the Page#url method is used  
everywhere for both the rendering of links to the user and also the  
matching of urls. You want to match against /articles/monkeys-are-great,  
but render /radiant/articles-are-great.

The simplest approach would probably be to set up two ProxyPass  
statements in apache:

ProxyPass /radiant/admin/ [http://localhost:3000/admin/](http://localhost:3000/admin/)  
ProxyPassReverse /radiant/admin/ [http://localhost:3000/admin/](http://localhost:3000/admin/)

ProxyPass /radiant/ [http://localhost:3000/radiant/](http://localhost:3000/radiant/)  
ProxyPassReverse /radiant/ [http://localhost:3000/radiant/](http://localhost:3000/radiant/)

And then create a parent /radiant/ page in radiant and make everything a  
child of that.

Otherwise, you might be able to make it work with:

class Page  
def url  
if parent?  
parent.child\_url(self)  
else  
clean\_url(“/radiant/#{slug}”)  
end  
end  
end

class SiteController  
def show\_page  
response.headers.delete(‘Cache-Control’)  
url = “/radiant/#{params[:url].to\_s}”  
if live? and (@cache.response\_cached?(url))  
@cache.update\_response(url, response)  
@performed\_render = true  
else  
show\_uncached\_page(url)  
end  
end  
end

I made an Alias on Apache ([server.com/radiant/](http://server.com/radiant/)) which redirects  
the request to the mongrel server, but Rails has just absolute links  
(i.e. [server.com/admin/pages](http://server.com/admin/pages) ) but it should be rendered as  
[server.com/radiant/admin/pages](http://server.com/radiant/admin/pages).
