I am pleased to announce the immediate release of Radius 0.5.0. Radius is a small, but powerful tag-based template language for Ruby inspired by the template languages used in MovableType <www.movabletype.org> and TextPattern <www.textpattern.com>. It uses tags similar to XML, but can be used to generate any form of plain text (HTML, e-mail, etc...). This release is much more feature

I am pleased to announce that Radiant CMS is now publically available from the Subversion repository at: http://radiantcms.org/ What is Radiant? ---------------- Radiant is a no-fluff, open source content management system designed for small teams.

When using Textpattern with PHP Markdown Extra there is a problem with the textpattern tags. Tags like <txp:image id="42" /> are parsed, but tags like <txp:site_name /> that have an underscore are not. Any ideas how to deal with this?

I figured I pose this to the list and see if any one can build a better mousetrap. The problem: 1. Store hierarchical data in a database, but without knowing the hierarchy beforehand. 2. Allow the user to define there own hierarchy, and allow the system to support multiple hierarchies. Call it a cataloging system, we have an object and we want to add data about that object to the system. Now

I tried to keep track of the number of access to a specific controller. I declared ''@@mycount = 0'' in the controller class. The methods in the controller will increment the @@mycount (@@mycount = @@mycount + 1) and print the value to the html page and show in the browser. The value is always 1, no matter how many times I access the controller and its action(s). Is this

I''ve looked for DIFF tools for OSX but haven''t found anything good yet. Tried guiffy (http://www.guiffy.com) but it''s very slow and the folder comparison doesn''t indicate a change until you drill down to the level with the difference which kinda defeats the purpose. I''m missing TortoiseSVN and the diff tool that comes with it. Any suggestions for

Hello, I just started playing with RubyOnRails. It is indeed fascinating! I have a question about using rails models to connect to backend Java (i.e. EJBs) instead of database. Any pointers will be appreciated. Thanks and Regards, Khaled -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Ok, so this is kinda out of the blue... but I''ve been looking at Google Base and thinking that it''s got some really good ideas in it. Especially the way you can create your own "type" of item with its own custom attributes, like date range, location, number, text, etc. Kind of like defining a database with a GUI, but not exactly. It seems really interesting to me, from

Hello, I recently started http://www.onrails.be Onrails.be is a Belgian Ruby on Rails site (in Dutch). At the moment however, the site is powered by Textpattern (PHP CMS). I already knew that, and I''m just getting to know Rails myself. If some Dutch people visit this forum: //message is written in Dutch from this point -> Wat vinden jullie ervan? Is de content goed?

I am checking the file size of an uploaded file and storing it in a filesize column. It will work just fine when the user uploads any files other than images (jpg,png,gif). Word, Excel, Powerpoint, .zip and more all work fine. This is my model asset.rb that handles the file upload. def newfile=(newfile_field) self.filename = base_part_of(newfile_field.original_filename) self.filetype

Greetings, I am working on extending a new part of our site to use Ruby on Rails, and have several portions of the site that is included in external files. The rest of the site is built on top of MovableType and uses PHP Includes to reference the external files. Is there similar functionality in Ruby or Rails that I can use so I don''t have to update excess content in two

Hi, Is there a way to test if a certain (local) variable has been initialized? I''d like to do something like if isset(myvar) and myvar.true? #some code else #default behaviour end I have a lot of shared views that I call with params such as { show_pager => true Instead of having to explicitly say show_pager => false it should be possible to make false a default value, right?

Hi, I''m a little confused about sessions. I have two objects, object "Apple" and object "Banana". These two objects have an N:M relationship. What I am doing is listing All of the Banana objects that are associated with a single Apple, then below that listing all of the Banana objects not associated with that same Apple. The user is then allowed to change the

Hi, all. I haven''t felt at liberty to go axing test cases, but some of the 33 that are failing now are ones I don''t think we want to pass? cruft coming from Markdown or made up to fill a gap some years ago. I''d like to float the proposition that we make Super (and thus RedCloth 4) behave as identically as possible to Textile2 as working on

Is there support yet for adding something to a list in sorted order? For example, you have a form to add a new item and you want the new item to be inserted in the list in the proper order. I''ve noticed the :position option in the form_remote_tag but it doesn''t seem like you can use it to keep things in sorted order. Rod Schmidt http://rodschmidt.blogspot.com "Do or

I can''t think of a good reason, other than it''s legacy code which hasn''t gotten around to being changed to RoR. http://rubyonrails.org/?=PHPE9568F36-D428-11d2-A769-00AA001ACF42 http://37signals.com/?=PHPE9568F36-D428-11d2-A769-00AA001ACF42 http://basecamphq.com/?=PHPE9568F36-D428-11d2-A769-00AA001ACF42 http://backpackit.com/?=PHPE9568F36-D428-11d2-A769-00AA001ACF42
