Reorder extension stopped working

Ruby Apps Radiant CMS

Hi guys,

I was happy to get shards and reorder running using the gems version
of radiant and trunk versions of shards and reorder:

$ svn propedit svn:externals vendor/extensions
shards http://dev.radiantcms.org/svn/radiant/trunk/extensions/shards/
reorder http://dev.radiantcms.org/svn/radiant/trunk/extensions/reorder/

After a svn update of my repository the extensions got an update and
the reorder buttons disappeared. Although the extensions show up as
“enabled” in radiant. I got two questions and hopefully they get
answered.

  1. How can I get reorder up and running again?

  2. I use SVN too. As shown above I added the extensions as external
    resource, following your advice at radiantcms.org. I am relatively new
    to SVN. How can I “freeze” a version of my radiant installation with
    all external recources stored as a local copy? Then it would be
    possible to simply go back to the version before. Now every time I go
    back to an old version the externals get downloaded from
    dev.radiantcms.org and I am where I am.

Any help would be really nice.

Thanks,
rainer

rainer,

Did the whole column disappear or just the buttons? If there’s still a
column header that says “Order”, run:

rake radiant:extensions:reorder:update

Sean,

thank you for you response. No, the whole column disappeared. I tried
your rake command anyway but it does not help.

What to do?

I hope you can help.

Thanks,
rainer

The rake fails when you don’t have proper permissions set on the
/public/images/admin/ directory. You can get around this by changing
permissions or using “sudo rake radiant:extensions:reorder:update”

what do I have to copy? This is what I see:

$ ls vendor/extensions/reorder/public/images/admin/
move_higher.png move_to_bottom.png
move_lower.png move_to_top.png

$ ls vendor/extensions/reorder/public/
images

Is there something missing?

As David suggested I tried

$ sudo rake radiant:extensions:reorder:update"

which is not working either.

Reorder is still not running anymore.

What can I do else?

Big Thanks,
rainer
