I’m attempting to use RadiantOnRails but when trying to boot, I get a NameError: no\_login\_required for Admin::WelcomeController on line 8 of radiant\_extensions.rb. I added require statements to welcome\_controller.rb and to application.rb in the radiant gem but no luck. Anyone else running into this? -Luke ---

I added include statements to radiant’s site\_controller and welcome\_controller and was at least able to boot up… ---

Luke, Are you running Radiant in “instance mode” and version 0.6.1? It looks like I didn’t document that very well, but you should initialize your project by running the following commands: radiant /path/to/your/project cd /path/to/your/project svn export svn://rubyforge.org/var/svn/radiantonrails/trunk vendor/ extensions/radiant\_on\_rails Then you need to configure config/database.yml and follow the instructions in vendor/extensions/radiant\_on\_rails/README. Try this out and let me know if your still having issues. I just did it and it is working for me. Matt Parrish [http://www.pearware.org](http://www.pearware.org) ---

Matt, Yes, I’m running instance mode with radiant 061 (I’m still unclear why radiant now has this “hybrid” set-up: somewhere between a plugin and a “normal” gem, but I’ll trust the team’s judgment on it). I followed your readme instructions and the radiant extension install instructions. So, I don’t know what I’m missing. I had to add the include statements to make the app boot up, but after that I still get other errors, for instance, when i try to navigate to /admin. Can you send my\_app/config/environment.rb & my\_app/config/routes.rb files for a working install? Also, are there any changes that need to be made w/in the radiant gem itself to make this work? Thanks, Luke ---

Hi Lindsay, What we determined from Luke’s error is that you probably have the file RAILS\_ROOT/app/controllers/application.rb, which shouldn’t be there. Delete that file and see if it works. Thanks, Matt Parrish [http://www.pearware.org](http://www.pearware.org) ---

Because there is no generator for controllers in a Radiant project, I made a separate rails project just for generating and copied the app, test, and db folders to RADIANT\_ROOT afterwords. Since those folders didn’t exist in the Radiant project to begin with, I figured I wasn’t overwriting anything important. Now to try and get ActiveScaffold working under RadiantOnRails, looks a bit hairy since it is a fairly complex plugin. I see a thread or two on getting plugins going though. Thanks for the tip. -Lindsay ---

I am using the gem and have followed the instructions in the README. The server is running under Kanotix, which is an offshoot of Debian. The no\_login\_required line in gems/radiant-0.6.1/app/admin/welcome\_controller.rb is unrecognized (NameError). This happens when the activate method calls RadiantOnRails::RadiantExtensions.init, which tries to modify Admin::WelcomeController with a class\_eval statement. I’m speculating that Admin::WelcomeController hasn’t been loaded yet at this point, and this class\_eval statement triggers its loading before some dependency that is providing the no\_login\_required functionality is loaded. Any fix for this? I will try and implement my public facing controller/view as an extension until I can work around this. I’ve read that adding no\_login\_required to the top of an extension’s controller allows one to use them publicly without being logged in to the admin area. Haven’t tried that yet though. -Lindsay Below is the trace - railsuser@KanotixBox:~/PCC5$ script/server -p 32000 =\> Booting WEBrick… /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/radiant-0.6.1/app/controllers/admin/welcome\_controller.rb:2: undefined local variable or method `no_login_required' for Admin::WelcomeController:Class (NameError) from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/radiant-0.6.1/vendor/rails/activesupport/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:203:in`load\_without\_new\_constant\_marking’ from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/radiant-0.6.1/vendor/rails/activesupport/lib/active\_support/dependencies.rb:203:in `load_file' from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/radiant-0.6.1/vendor/rails/activesupport/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:342:in`new\_constants\_in’ from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/radiant-0.6.1/vendor/rails/activesupport/lib/active\_support/dependencies.rb:202:in `load_file' from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/radiant-0.6.1/vendor/rails/activesupport/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:94:in`require\_or\_load’ from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/radiant-0.6.1/vendor/rails/activesupport/lib/active\_support/dependencies.rb:248:in `load_missing_constant' from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/radiant-0.6.1/vendor/rails/activesupport/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:452:in`const\_missing’ from /var/rails/PCC5/vendor/extensions/radiant\_on\_rails/lib/radiant\_on\_rails/radiant\_extensions.rb:8:in `init' ... 25 levels... from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/radiant-0.6.1/vendor/rails/railties/lib/commands/server.rb:39 from /usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:27:in`gem\_original\_require’ from /usr/local/lib/site\_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom\_require.rb:27:in `require’ from script/server:3
