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/](http://dev.radiantcms.org/svn/radiant/trunk/extensions/shards/)  
reorder [http://dev.radiantcms.org/svn/radiant/trunk/extensions/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](http://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](http://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,

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”

You may have to manually copy over all the extension’s images and  
stylesheets. For some reason the rake update method doesn’t always work.

Hey Arik,

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
