An extension by Aissac that adds templating support to Radiant CMS.
Tested on Radiant 0.7.1, 0.8 and 0.9.1.
Checkout the screencast!
- Define named templates (stereotypes) for Pages;
- Templates are assigned per-parent Page, making all children have the defined 'stereotype' by their parent;
- You can specify the new page's parts, filters, layout, page type and status.
The git branches of this repository hold stable versions of the extension for older versions of Radiant CMS. For example the 0.8 branch is compatible with Radiant 0.8.
To checkout one of these branches:
git clone git://github.com/Aissac/radiant-stereotype-extension.git vendor/extensions/stereotype
cd vendor/extensions/stereotype
git checkout -b <branch-name> origin/<remote-branch-name>
As an example, if you're working on Radiant 0.8 you will need to checkout the 0.8 branch:
cd vendor/extensions/stereotype
git checkout -b my_branch origin/0.8
Stereotype Extension has one dependency, the Radiant Custom Fields Extension.
git clone git://github.com/Aissac/radiant-custom-fields-extension.git vendor/extensions/custom_fields
Because Stereotype Extension keeps the settings in the Radiant::Config table it is highly recommended to install the Settings Extension
git clone git://github.com/Squeegy/radiant-settings.git vendor/extensions/settings
Finally, install the Stereotype Extension
git clone git://github.com/Aissac/radiant-stereotype-extension.git vendor/extensions/stereotype
To add stereotypes you need to add fields to the Radiant::Config table. There are five types of settings for each stereotype:
1.) Page Parts (and filters)
The key has to look like: stereotype.<name_of_the_stereotype>.parts and the value body:Markdown,sidebar:Textile (case sensitive).
2.) Layout
The key has to look like: stereotype.<name_of_the_stereotype>.layout and the value has to be the name of a layout (case sensitive).
3.) Page type
The key should look like: stereotype.<name_of_the_stereotype>.page_type and the value has to be a valid class_name attribute of the Page class. (Examples: ArchivePage, FileNotFoundPage or ArchiveMonthIndexPage).
4.) Status
The key has to look like: stereotype.<name_of_stereotype>.status and the value has to be a valid status attribute of the page: draft, hidden, reviewed, published.
5.) Stereotype
The key has to look like: stereotype.<name_of_stereotype>.stereotype and the value has to be a valid stereotype.
1.) Add stereotypes as described in the configuration section.
2.) Edit/create a new page that has children and select a stereotype from the dropdown labeled "Stereotype". Child pages added to this page will be created with their attributes set by default to the fields you configured.
3.) ...
4.) Profit!
