Radiant Article Categories

Hello,

Has anyone figured out a way to implement a Category system in radiant?
I would like to organize my site more by subject than date.

Thanks,

Bryan

Bryan, if you don’t need to put pages in more than one category, then
you could just use the normal Radiant page hierarchy. eg:

Home
|-Articles
|–Category 1
| |- article 1
| |- article 2
|–Category 2
| |- article 3
| |- article 4
etc.

(I hope you read mail with a monospaced font, otherwise that might
not make much sense :slight_smile: )

If you need something more complicated, eg. articles in multiple
categories, I believe someone was working on a tagging system. Try
looking through the list archives.

You could apply the tagging patch:

I am a little new to Ruby on Rails. Could you give a noobie friendly
instruction for “patching” radiant? I am currently using .52 on a
shared host with Apahce/Lighttpd and MySQL.

Thanks,

  1. Patches should only be applied to a radiant application running in
    “application” mode. To create a Radiant install that runs in
    application mode you can either:

    a. Install via Subversion:

    % svn checkout \
  http://dev.radiantcms.org/svn/radiant/tags/rel_0-5-2/radiant/

    b. Use the -t flag while installing with the radiant gem command:

    % radiant -t app .

  2. Change to the directory that you installed Radiant in:

    % cd /path/to/radiant/install

  3. Use the patch command to apply the patch:

    % patch -p0 patch.diff .

Be warned, patching only works when it is done to a version that is
compatible with the version the patch was created for. You may need to
jump in and repair the code in places in order for it to work with a
newer version. Patching isn’t necessarily for the faint in heart.

   % radiant -t app .

I received an error message when using -t. I used --unpack instead.

  1. Use the patch command to apply the patch:

    % patch -p0 patch.diff .

I think that I am doing something basic mistake. When I type:

~/development/radiant BC$ patch -p0 tagging_support_4.patch

The computer gives no response or error message in the terminal window.

Any ideas?

Thanks again,

Bryan

My bad, you should pipe it into the patch program:

~/development/radiant BC$ patch -p0 < tagging_support_4.patch

Yeah, it is better left to the wiseheart :wink:

Thanks again, John. The revised command worked. I received the output
listed below:

I looked at the rej files and compared the patch with the original. I
think that I am approaching my technical limits(for now). I appreciate
you taking the time to help me with this.

Thanks,

Bryan
