Since this question is going to be asked a number of times as people
begin to move their sites to v0.7 I thought I would begin the thread.
What extensions are known not to work with v0.7?

Could we make this a page on the wiki instead? May I request that
people who have written extensions and have an explicit tag that works
for 0.6.9 and below and a trunk that works on 0.7.0 and later make it
known there?

This will make my job of working through the content for 0.7.0 easier.
If someone needs a template, I can try to create the main page on the
wiki for this.

Thanks
Mohit.

That's a great idea, Mohit. I would think the following info should be
included:

- name of extension (of course)
- github project url
- latest commit known to be working with 0.6.9 if no tag exists

And that Wiki page should have a few lies for those of us who are not
git-gurus on how to use - aka download from - one tag or the other.

Thanks.

A git-diot.

Why not make the field available on ext.radiantcms.org? When you edit
an extension it asks for the highest version the extension works
with. But I don't see that info displayed on the listing/detail page
itself. Just the edit form. That page already lists the github url...

That's a great idea. Now we just need all the creators of the extensions
on the list to update their extension info. ;^)

Heh. Good point. Although in this case if a several trusted folks
confirm it works or doesn't work I don't see much difference b/n
publishing a wiki page and sending a data file of name:version pairs
to someone who could update the extension database directly...

Maybe at some point when a new version is released an email should go
out to all the authors listed in ext.radiantcms.org?

Can someone please confirm or correct this list of my understanding or
the mailer extension? I'm not understanding at all how this extension
works, and the two tutorials/instructions I found on the subject are
very vague:

I gathered this list by using these two instructions:
http://wiki.radiantcms.org/How_To_Use_The_Mailer_Extension
http://github.com/radiant/radiant-mailer-extension/tree/master

- You start out by git cloning the extension into the extension folder
at /vendor/extensions/
- You either do this step now, or at the end of the tutorial. Which
ever one, you remove code in the environment.rb (located in the config
folder) file to make this:

config.frameworks -= [ :action_mailer ] or this: config.frameworks -=
[ :action_web_service, :action_mailer ]

say this:

config.frameworks -= [] or this: config.frameworks -=
[ :action_web_service ]

depending on whether or not the :action_web_service is being ignored
or not.

- You then possibly, or possibly not, add this code to the
environment.rb file, but after a line that doesn't seem to exist
(require "status"):

ActionMailer::Base.smtp_settings = {
:address => "your.smtp.server",
:port => 25,
:domain => "your.domain"
}

obviously changing the setting to match your own.

- Restart your server.

- You then create two new pages, under whatever previous page you'd
prefer, one named "email" the other "email_html" in that file you put
the following code:

subject: From the website of Whatever
from: nor...@example.com
redirect_to: /contact/thank-you
recipients:
- o...@one.com
- t...@two.com

- You then build your contact form with these tags:

<r:mailer:form name=""> ... </r:mailer:form>
<r:mailer:text name="" />
<r:mailer:checkbox name="" />
<r:mailer:radio name="" />
<r:mailer:radiogroup name=""> ... </r:mailer:radiogroup>
<r:mailer:select name=""> ... </r:mailer:select>
<r:mailer:date_select name=""/>
<r:mailer:textarea name=""> ... </r:mailer:textarea>
<r:mailer:option name="" />

to make something that looks something like this:

<r:mailer:form>
<r:mailer:hidden name="subject" value="Email from my Radiant site!" /
> <br/>
Name:<br/>
<r:mailer:text name="name" /> <br/>
Message:<br/>
<r:mailer:textarea name="message" /> <br/>
<input type="submit" value="Send" />
</r:mailer:form>

If someone who has gotten the extension to work please let me know
where I went wrong, it would be very helpful. By doing everything
above I get the following error in a browser:

Mailer config is not valid (see Mailer.valid_config?)

Thanks,
Adam

If you're on Windows, you could take a look at:
http://wiki.radiantcms.org/JustEnoughGitOnWindows

It was compiled by another Git-Idiot (i.e. me)
Cheers,

Adam,

Two things. First of all, put the configuration in the 'mailer' part
(tab) on the page that has the form. Second, make sure your indentation
in the recipients list is two spaces; YAML is picky about that.

What about the radiant-gallery one?

I use reorder and would have difficulties going back w/o it so I'll
stay at 0.6.9 till it is updated.

I tried to change versions of the extensions comments and I had a few
problems. Just replacing the comments files in vendor/extensions and
running rake radiant:extensions:comments:update and rake
radiant:extensions:comments:migrate kind of left me somewhere between
the two versions.

Any suggestions to clean this up?

When I got the new version of comments "working" I got this error:
uninitialized constant CommentTags::Locale. Has anyone else seen
this or know what causes it?

Problem solved. I had used download here http://github.com/jomz/radiant-comments/tree/master
and got a version that was six months old. I used git clone and
got the current version.

Hi Steven,

Could you do us a favour? Could you see if your experience deviates
from the entry in the wiki about 'blogs' (there's a brief description
about Comments) and could you update it please? I've been meaning to
split that article to separate out the part relating to comments but
have not yet been able to.

The URL is: http://wiki.radiantcms.org/Using_Radiant_as_a_Blog

Thanks
Mohit.
