More Capistrano 2 goodies: A Radiant recipe library
Posted by Giovanni Intini | Filed under Capistrano, Nimboo, Radiant, Rails, Ruby
This is a followup to “A Couple of Capistrano 2 Recipes Libraries”:http://tempe.st/2007/09/a-couple-of-capistrano-2-recipes-libraries
It’s official: I am a Capistranoholist, and I can’t deploy any Rails application without using Capistrano anymore. A few days ago I had to setup a Radiant site for a client and I couldn’t resist writing a small capistrano recipe library (is there an official name for this kind of collections?) with callbacks dedicated to radiant and tasks that help managing radiant installations.
As usual you can get them from the recipes repository .
After you get the recipes load them from Capfile:
load 'deploy' if respond_to?(:namespace) # cap2 differentiator load 'config/deploy' load 'lib/recipes/medlar' load 'lib/recipes/radiant'
Now you will have one more callback and an overridden deploy:cold task:
after "deploy:migrate", "deploy:radiant:migrate:extensions" desc "Overridden deploy:cold for Radiant." task :cold do update "radiant:bootstrap" start end
The overridden task bootstraps radiant during deploy:cold (but assumes you use it only the first time you deploy!), and the callback migrates radiant extensions whenever you migrate your db.
If you don’t need the radiant recipes but you are using the medlar namespace I suggest you update from svn, there have been a lot of fixes to the recipes.
A couple of capistrano 2 recipes libraries
Posted by Giovanni Intini | Filed under Capistrano, Nimboo, Programming, Rails, Ruby, Ruby on Rails
I kept playing with Capistrano 2 after my last article, and I’ve refactored quite a bit my recipes, finally moving them in their own subversion repository. This allows much quicker deployment with my new rails applications. Here’s how I do it:
$ rails my_new_application $ cd my_new_application $ capify .
Then I edit Capfile:
load 'deploy' if respond_to?(:namespace) # cap2 differentiator load 'lib/recipes/site5' # This is my site5 recipe load 'lib/recipes/medlar' # The general use recipes load 'config/deploy'
The site5 and medlar namespaces hold default configuration values, define some callbacks and the following tasks:
cap deploy:medlar:rails:freezer:edge # Fetch Rails edge and puts it into sh... cap deploy:medlar:rails:freezer:stable # Fetch Rails stable and puts it into ... cap deploy:medlar:rails:link # Links Rails to application/vendor cap deploy:medlar:rails:update # Updates the fetched version of rails.cap deploy:site5:kill_dispatch_fcgi # Kills Ruby instances on Site5
cap deploy:site5:link_public_html # Links public_html to current_path/pu...
Last but not least, here’s the simple, clean and elegant deploy.rb:
set :application, "my_new_application" set :user, "the_username" set :repository, "repo_address" set :deploy_to, "/home/#{user}/apps/#{application}" role :app, "server.com" role :web, "server.com" role :db, "server.com", :primary => true
Quite readable, isn’t it? 
The recipes are available via anonymous subversion: https://svn1.hosted-projects.com/medlar/recipes/
Enjoy and let me know if you found them useful.

Language Redirect, an extension for Radiant CMS
Posted by Giovanni Intini | Filed under Programming, Radiant, Ruby, Ruby on Rails
While looking through my email I found an email that helped me remember that a couple of months ago, while working on StudioCarone.it I wrote (ported) a simple extension to the wonderful Radiant CMS, language_redirect_extension. The usage is straightforward, just check it out via svn into your extensions directory.
The rest of the extension works like the old language redirect behavior used to do. Drop me a mail at info AT tempe DOT st if you have any problems or if you need more detailed instructions.
