Radiant is a popular content management system written in Rails. It is very simple and lightweight out of the box, and customizing it is fast and easy. Several of our current projects use Radiant and we’ve been searching for a more intuitive editor than Markdown or Textile - both of which come packaged with Radiant [...]

I’m integrating a beautiful Javascript app, InfiniteCarousel, into the Radiant extension architecture. The app creates a photo carousel: A scrollable panel of images with nice left and right buttons, captioning, and links. If interested, feel free to install from github. The app is built largely in JQuery and has a pretty simple mark-up: <ul id="headerCarousel"> [...]

I’m working on extending the custom tags in the radiant-search-extension. Radiant tags are really a lot like Rails views, but they don’t have access to the view helpers.

In the Radiant administration interface, we wanted to allow our CMS users to be able to move pages around and have that final order in the navigation. Well, that is solved by an existing extension- the Drag and Order by Bright4. We decided to change the icon to make it jump out more, and to [...]

Radiant has two built in user roles, administrator and developer, and the permissions on these roles cannot be configured. If your Radiant project demands more fine grained permission controls than those provided you must implement them with custom code. Fortunately Radiant provides several hooks into the code that allow us to do this. In this [...]
