Radiant Duplicate extension

May 2nd, 2007 by Andrea Franz

Sometimes, using radiant to build a site, I need to generate many pages with the same page parts and the same contents, aside a few things..instead of copy all the page parts and all the contents I created the Radiant Duplicate extension. It adds a new action (duplicate) near the ‘Add child’ button:

Using Radiant Gallery extensions as link manager

April 26th, 2007 by Andrea Franz

I’m working on a new website, and I’m obviously using Radiant as CMS. My client need to manage some links…some of this are displayed in the sidebar, others in an other page; each link has an image. I simply created two differents galleries using my Gallery extension; the first one called ‘Links’ and the second one called ‘Sidebar Links’..then i added this code in the layout inside the sidebar:

<r:gallery id="1">

  <r:gallery:items:each>

    <li><a href="<r:gallery:item:description />"><img src="<r:gallery:item:thumb width="200" />" /></a></li>

  </r:gallery:items:each>

</r:gallery>

…and similar in the links page. Now i can simply add a link uploading an image in one of the two galleries, and setting the link url as image description.

There are two main changes on Radiant Gallery Extension…the first one is visible in the admin page…do you want to use an image from the web instead of upload it? Switch to “set file url” mode and specify its url!

The second change is visibile using the lightbox tag:

darcs get http://darcs.bigchieflabs.com/radiant/extensions/gallery/

..or download the archive here.

I’ve got some problem with my repository..if you already use Gallery extension, delete it and download it again, instead of update (pull) with darcs. Also delete galleries and gallery_items tables and reinstall extension..read here for more docs.
