Hi,

I have a radiant 0.6.2 setup with admin\_parts and a few extensions,  
which are  
working just fine.  
Now, I want to upgrade to 0.6.4, and replace admin\_parts with shards.  
After  
what I read, the upgrading should go smoothly, what bothers me is the  
admin\_parts -\> shards migration, I don’t see any “good” example of how  
to  
convert en extension using admin\_parts to a one using shards. Anyone has  
some  
nice pointer I could use ?

Regards,

---

Here’s the diff that I made in my code when migrating from admin\_parts  
to shards:

- admin.page\_edit\_parts.add ‘Groggy Article’, ‘groggy\_article’,  
:before =\> ‘Layout’
- admin.page\_edit\_parts.add ‘Groggy Comic’, ‘comic’, :before =\>  
‘Layout’
- admin.page\_edit\_parts.add ‘Groggy Venue’, ‘venue’, :before =\>  
‘Layout’
- admin.page\_edit\_parts.add ‘Groggy Article Author’,  
‘groggy\_article\_author’, :after =\> ‘Title’

- admin.page.edit.add ‘parts\_bottom’, ‘groggy\_article’, :before =\>  
‘edit\_layout\_and\_type’
- admin.page.edit.add ‘parts\_bottom’, ‘comic’, :before =\>  
‘edit\_layout\_and\_type’
- admin.page.edit.add ‘parts\_bottom’, ‘venue’, :before =\>  
‘edit\_layout\_and\_type’
- admin.page.edit.add ‘form’, ‘groggy\_article\_author’, :after =\>  
‘edit\_title’
