[Radiant] integrating radius with a store

[Sean Cribbs]

Based on the information you have given us, I see two options.

1) Implement some Radius tags so that your data shows up in a normal page or
an uncached dynamic page.  These could hook directly into your store
functionality.  Then the store functionality can have the same visual design
as the other pages

2) Maintain two layouts/VDs - a Radiant-based one and a Rails/ERb template
for your store.

If the primary functionality of your site is the store, maybe Radiant isn't
the best choice.  You might want to look at Comatose, which embeds a
mini-CMS in a Rails application through a plugin.  Radiant is great for
static or semi-dynamic content, but use the best tool for your needs.
