Useful script for getting Radiant CMS installed.

I made a couple changes for my setup:

#!/bin/sh
radiant --database sqlite3 $1
cd $1
echo "
production:
  adapter: sqlite3
  database: db/production.sqlite3
test:
  adapter: sqlite3
  database: db/test.sqlite3
development:
  production
" > config/database.yml

Aptana combined with Radrails will make an interesting IDE. Its Javascript debugging looks very powerful.

Streamlined is a framework, on top of Rails, that allows you to quickly generate interfaces for your ActiveRecord models. It started as a way to generate Administrative backends, but has become more general purpose over time.

Check the screencasts, it seems very functional.

Finally a decent looking Rails CMS system that looks usable: Radiant CMS.

Haven’t really gone down the Modx path yet, so I’ll look at Radiant instead as rails is my prefered web platform. Looks a big rough around the edges at the moment, but has a usable first version.  Couple things I’d probably like to see as major features for my requirements are: i) some sort of assets (pictures, pdfs, or other static files) management interface and ii) a WYSIWYG editor.

The first I might even add myself if the code looks easily.  The second is probably just a matter of time.

A blog entry by Scott Raymond on what is new in Rails 1.1.  There is a set of very useful links I need to read later, explaining these features and how to use them.

Bsag has made some changes and released Tracks 1.03, so I figured it was a good time to try out the smerge process with svk. This article has a good description of thesvk workflow process this involves.

Unfortunately it is a difficult merge due to whitespace formating changes. So it hides any of the real code changes that might have occured. In fact after the merge I had to unrevert some of the changes I made in my local trunk. svk smerge doesn’t seem to be able to view conflicts on a line by line base.

I have svk sync running on crontab, so to mirror branch in the local svk repository is pretty much constantly up to date. Star merging these changes into the local svk development branch and then onto my svn and svk working copies is the next job.

I’ve been reading the svk documentation, which is somewhat lacking, working out the best way to setup an external development enviroment for tracks a Rails based GTD project I’ve been contributing too. I’m planning to port the Salted Hash Login Generator to Tracks. Currently I don’t have write access to the track subversion repository, so this lead me to try svk out.

I decided that I wanted a seperate subversion repository from the svk default depot for mirror tracks and tracking my changes. So I followed the basic setup for svk: svk depotmap –init. Then added ‘tracks’:/home/svn/tracks via svk depotmap.

Grab and install eruby.vim into ~/.vim/syntax. Then following this tip add:


au BufNewFile,BufRead *.rhtml set syn=eruby


to ~/.vimrc.
