We recently had a few spam messages come through to the list. I’m both very sorry and very annoyed about that. I’ve banned the offending members, but I’d love to get more assistance with the list management. We have a few moderators but I’m looking for a few more to step up and help out. Please reply of you’ll have time once or twice a month to moderate the messages that come in from new members or squash the spam that makes it through from existing members. Thanks! ---

Thanks. Mostly I just want to make sure that the spam is properly being blocked. I made you an owner of the list (and I’ll do the same for the Dev list too). Typically there’s about 5 spam messages a month, so it’s low key, but there are some dormant members who look to have never sent a message. Recently a few came to life and sent spam. If you ever want to jump out, just change your settings [http://groups.google.com/group/radiantcms/manage\_members?view=mod&sort=email](http://groups.google.com/group/radiantcms/manage_members?view=mod&sort=email) ---

Thanks, Christian! I just made you a manager. Typically, it’s just approving or marking as spam for a small number of messages (4/month or so), so the tasks are easy. You should be able to see the other managers here [http://groups.google.com/group/radiantcms/manage\_members?view=mod&sort=email](http://groups.google.com/group/radiantcms/manage_members?view=mod&sort=email) On Sun, Oct 31, 2010 at 6:30 AM, Christian Aust ---

I wonder what happened or if spammers just started trying harder. I’ll chim in with a client we recently just got off of involving blog spam (which might actually be what’s happening) what was happening was there were real people signing up and then the bots would take over the address after real people signed up. There is no way to stop that though, unless everybody has to go through approval but that would require too much work for an open project lol. ---

I prefer Yahoo Groups… and I like to set it such that the group policy is that ‘all posts are moderated’. Then, when a user posts the first time, I am asked to moderate - I log in, approve the post and change the user’s setting to ‘can post freely without moderation’ That satisfies all the needs: - Anyone can sign up - Anyone can read - Anyone can post proper stuff - only the first post is delayed due to moderation - In general, spam is prevented… the only cases of spam are: \*\* User posts a relevant post about Radiant and then decides to spam the list (rare) \*\* User account is hijacked Cheers, Mohit. 2/11/2010 | 1:31 PM. ---

I hope that’s not an implication that I might be flagged as a spammer because I’ve joined and not sent a message yet. I mostly joined so that when I do go production with my site I could possibly get some help but that might be months away. ---

Hi folks, I’ve recently started to build a website with radiant for the first time. But I’ve been stuck in an annoying situation these past few days. ☹ I tried to use globalize2 extension on radiant 0.9.1. I got a following error, saving archive pages. Does anyone know workarounds for this error or how to solve this problem? Or if anyone use the same extension, do you get the same error? > NoMethodError (You have a nil object when you didn’t expect it! > You might have expected an instance of Array. > The error occurred while evaluating nil.map): > radiant (0.9.1) app/controllers/admin/resource\_controller.rb:64:in `update' radiant (0.9.1) vendor/plugins/haml/rails/./lib/sass/plugin/rails.rb:20:in `process’ I tried these forked repository and got the same result. > **[GitHub - sniemela/radiant-globalize2-extension: Translate content in Radiant CMS using the...](https://github.com/sniemela/radiant-globalize2-extension)** > > Translate content in Radiant CMS using the Globalize2 Rails plugin. > **[GitHub - ehaselwanter/radiant-globalize2-extension: Translate content in Radiant CMS using the...](https://github.com/ehaselwanter/radiant-globalize2-extension)** > > Translate content in Radiant CMS using the Globalize2 Rails plugin. I read related past posts. I don’t use vhost extension, but very similar situation with following post. vhost and globalize2 [http://www.mail-archive.com/removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid/msg00578.html](http://www.mail-archive.com/removed_email_address@domain.invalid/msg00578.html) Thank you in advance for your help. ---

Hi folks, I checked the code. And I fixed in a fashion. This was Globalize2 and Archive extension compatibility. > **[GitHub - mtbtaizo/radiant-globalize2-extension: Translate content in Radiant...](https://github.com/mtbtaizo/radiant-globalize2-extension)** > > Translate content in Radiant CMS using the Globalize2 Rails plugin. - GitHub - mtbtaizo/radiant-globalize2-extension: Translate content in Radiant CMS using the Globalize2 Rails plugin. I’m just getting started. So I think you can find a better way to fix. I hope this helps for someone. Thanks.
