Fellow Mikamai – er, all around nice guy, great guitarist and top notch developer Andrea “Pilu” Franz has just released an incredibile extension for the Radiant CMS, the iPhone Extension, it allows you to access your radiant admin interface via iPhone using a nice iPhone optimized GUI. Please check the original article on his blog.
Legacy Path Handler, a Radiant Extension
Posted by Giovanni Intini | Filed under Radiant, Rails, Ruby, Ruby on Rails
We’re preparing to deploy the new Mikamai site (not up at the time of this post), that runs on the wonderful Rails-based RadiantCMS.
The VPS we’re deploying to runs on Phusion Passenger, and that means we can’t use mod_alias or mod_rewrite to 301-redirect the old URLs, already indexed by Google, to their new locations.
To solve this problem I wrote a little Radiant Extension, called LegacyPathHandler, that reads a simple list of URLs from a text file and does a 301 redirection on them before handling the control to Radiant’s default SiteController.
It works quite fine for us, but it has no specs/tests or documentation. Please feel free to contribute to the project if you feel you can improve it.
More Capistrano 2 goodies: A Radiant recipe library

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.
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.
