Re: [PhillyOnRails] Radiant CMS


I like Comatose. It's really good for expanding on because it is very simple and includes some niceties like sluggable urls (pretty urls), content caching, and a simple backend. It also is easy to add into an existing project fairly well because it is a plugin and uses modular name space. It plays nice on larger sites also. I've done a lot of custom work with it, ranging from small sites with around 30 or so page to a larger govt. site with ~400 pages, and I will be launching an ecommerce extended version with ~500 product pages real- soon-now.

Here's the project page: http://comatose.rubyforge.org/

Hey guys,

Is anyone using Radiant CMS? I've installed it and I'm playing around with it, and it seems like a good choice for a project I'm working on.

Looking at it, though, I'm wondering about the best way to build around it. For example, I have a basic contact form and some basic shopping cart functionality set up. It's going to expand into a full blown member section of a site. So should I try to keep the Radiant section completely separate from the other app? My fear is that if I entangle all my work into the Radiant rails app, it's going to get messy and have conflicts.

Any thoughts on working with Radiant or if you've run into a similar type of situations? Any ideas are appreciated!
