Hi, I have the Radiant CMS running from a Litespeed 3.1 Webserver and the current url is [http://my.slice.ip.address/admin/welcome](http://my.slice.ip.address/admin/welcome) which is good. Unfortunately there is no Admin Login screen, only this =\> Application error (Apache) Change this error message for exceptions thrown outside of an action (like in Dispatcher setups or broken Ruby code) in public/500.html So it seems that Radiant is being served correctly into the $VH\_ROOT of the webserver (/srv/www/radiant/) but it is not seeing the appropriate view. Is this a correct assumption? Cheers, Ben. ---

That will generally tell you a lot about what the problem is. – John L. [http://wiseheartdesign.com](http://wiseheartdesign.com) ---

Hey all, I’m helping Andrea F. work on his fantastic Gallery Extension: [http://darcs.bigchieflabs.com/radiant/extensions/gallery/](http://darcs.bigchieflabs.com/radiant/extensions/gallery/) (download with ‘darcs’ - [http://darcs.net](http://darcs.net)) Anyway I’m trying to add some globally available tags to it: There is a Model declared thus: class Gallery \< ActiveRecord::Base has\_many :items, :class\_name =\> ‘GalleryItem’ end And I have made a module in the extension /lib called gallery\_tags.rb which contains this (fake example)… module GalleryTags #tags available globally, not just on GalleryPages include Radiant::Taggable tag “mytag” do |tag| if tag.attr[“id”] tag.locals.gallery = Gallery.find\_by\_id tag.attr[“id”] tag.expand end tag “anothertag” do |tag| tag.locals.gallery.name end end added to the extension with: def activate admin.tabs.add “Galleries”, “/admin/gallery”, :after =\> “Layouts”, :visibility =\> [:all] Page.send :include, GalleryTags end yet when I do this in a page: \ \ \ I get this: You have a nil object when you didn’t expect it! The error occurred while evaluating nil.name It seems that tag.locals.gallery is being set to nil in between the tag calls… I can’t work out why because other extensions seem to do similar things… it’s very confusing. Any help much appreciated. Thanks, -Adam ---

You need to call the id in both tags. I know it is a little counterintuitive, but the id tag is not being passed to the first tag, just the second. I banged my head on this for a few days, try it like this: tag “mytag” do |tag| if tag.attr[“id”] tag.locals.gallery = Gallery.find\_by\_id tag.attr[“id”] tag.expand end tag “anothertag” do |tag| gallery = Gallery.find\_by\_id tag.attr[“id”] || tag.locals.gallery gallery.name end This should work, but I haven’t tested it, so I make no promises. You may want to add a some sort of error handling in there in case no id is found. Keith B. removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid Tel: +49-7731-7983830 ---

I think I’ve worked it out… Basically tag.locals is a “virtual” (don’t know correct name) method… so if you want tag.locals.item.name you should first assign tag.locals.item to a variable and then query that variable: i.e. item = tag.locals.item return item.name you can assign with tag.locals.item =, but not tag.locals.item.name = for example. brackets might work like: (tag.locals.item).name haven’t tested that.

Keith, This didn’t work. I’m going to work around it by doing: \ \ for the moment… but it’s not going to work in the long run… is there a way to force/pass or create your own variables? e.g tag “mytag” do |tag| if tag.attr[“id”] tag.locals.gallery = Gallery.find\_by\_id tag.attr[“id”] tag.expand { “id” =\> “1”} end …or… tag “mytag” do |tag| if tag.attr[“id”] tag.locals.my\_gallery = Gallery.find\_by\_id tag.attr[“id”] tag.expand end …or… tag “mytag” do |tag| if tag.attr[“id”] tag.globals.gallery = Gallery.find\_by\_id tag.attr[“id”] tag.expand end Thanks in advance, -Adam
