Assets Management and Page Tagging
Radiant is a fabulous system, but being relatively young and aimed at a very specific problem, it doesn’t have all the features I need. And as a photographer, number one on that list is image management. I have been messing around with any solution I could find for the last six months and had a very simple version of this extension running late last year. While I was at it, I added tagging, both to organize the images and as long as it was there to tag the pages. There are even some virtual pages for tag display and a simple slug based gallery system.
Here is everything you need: assets-tagging.zip
For the latest greatest guaranteed to break your system version (just joking) get the svn versions. Remember, you need both plugins at the moment, but I am working on making the tagging extension freestanding. The Assets extension needs tags for just about everything it does, so it will always require the other extension. You can find both extensions at http://svn.bitchkittyracing.com/projects/extensions.
In any case, while far from finished and totally lacking in tests (there is a long story about this, let’s just day I am working on it) it works pretty well. Please give it a try and let me know what you think. To install the extensions, just copy both extensions to the /vendor/extensions folder and be sure that the Paginator 1.0.9 and Mini-Magick folders are in the /vendor folder. Run ‘rake migrate:extensions’ and that’s it, it should work. You will end up with an Images tab and a whole slew of new tags.
I will post some examples here when I get a chance. Please email me if you have any questions or problems. And you are looking at the demo.
