I’ve got the latest revision of Radiant from trunk (r596) and I also  
downloaded and configured the RadiantOnRails extension (very slick, by  
the way). I’d like to be able to use script/generate for the main  
rails app, but it’s not recognizing the standard generators.

Does anyone know how to use script/generate migration etc… in an app  
that’s based on Radiant?

Let me preface this by saying that I haven’t used the RadiantOnRails  
extension. However, I have struggled with trying to get generators  
working in extensions. Your main problem is going to be that the  
Radiant script/generate resets the generator source list, overriding  
the normal rails behavior. I don’t have the bit of code on me right  
now, but if you want to re-enable generators in extensions (or  
anywhere other than #{RADIANT\_ROOT}/lib/generators) you’ll probably  
have to manually edit script/generate. My recommendation is to copy  
what’s there already and substitute in the glob you need.

Hope this helps,  
Andrew
