I am a new radiant user and really love the app, simple elegent etc. I have deployed radiant to my shared textdrive hosting account running lighttpd and everything works great in firefox but when I try and pull the site up in IE6 I get an unknown file type prompt and it asks me to download. The really strange thing is that the admin piece works fine in IE but the site doesn’t. Did any of you have this issue, it seems like the content-type is not being correctly in the header or something? Site is [http://www.suimple.com](http://www.suimple.com) ---

Jake, I get that too on your page, even in IE7. Make sure your layout sets the content-type correctly. Sean ---

On the Layouts page in the admin interface, open the layout you are currently using. Click the “more” link and type “text/html” into the Content-type box, then Save. If you’re not using a layout at all, create one and name it HTML or something. Then do the same as above but also type \ into the large textarea, and Save. Go to your root page, and select HTML as the layout (bottom left of the textarea) and Save the page. Sean C. [seancribbs.com](http://seancribbs.com) ---

ARG! the more link, never forget the to check the more link on any of your radiant pages. Three days wasted and I think I have made myself an enemy of the textdrive support staff. Anyway if you run into this problem it is because you were to dumb to set the content-type for the layout, it is in the more link. ---

Dear John, Is there someone taking on an active role for designing the new plugin system? I know we both were exchanging ideas but maybe we need someone explicitly working on the implementation (i.e. volunteer other than us both). I think a forth person in the game could allow us to review and more actively improve the new design and code. Please advise. Alex ---

Three days?!! It looks like you found the answer within 20 min of asking for help. Perhaps your error was in not asking for help soon enough? 🙂 – John L.

I had actually intended to work on it the past two weeks, but the Ruby-Lang Redesign got in the way. 😉 (That, by the way, has been a tremendous blessing. I’ve actually written or refactored several plugins now and I have a better idea of what we need.) Oliver B. has sent me a patch, which I have been meaning to polish up. I’ve got another project I’m on for the next one to two weeks, but after that I should have time to focus on it pretty much full time for a couple of weeks. – John L.

I’d be happy to assist as much as possible as time allows.
