[Radiant] Error Trying to Use script/console to Create Pages

[Radiant List]

Hello Radiant Folk!

I'm a Radiant neophyte with a little bit of Rails experience. Thank you so
much for making Radiant such an elegant, usable and slick CMS, I'm very
excited about using it for some upcoming projects.

I've long had a dream of being able to create simple,
hierarchical-navigation based sites using simple scripting or, even better,
YAML/XML etc. to generate the framework and initial content.  I'm hopeful I
can figure out a way to do this using Radiant. I've been experimenting with
some approaches using the rails console.

I first tried creating a pages_controller instance then running the new
method after setting the params property.  This didn't work due to the use
of the request object in that method.  I then
tried adapting that method so it could work as a simple page creation
function.  I am running into a " undefined method `stringify_keys!' for
"body":String" message however.

Here's my code:


  def new_page(
title,parts,slug,breadcrumb,parent=1,behavior="",layout_id=
"1") page = Page.
new
    page.slug = slug
    page.breadcrumb = breadcrumb
    page.parent = Page.find_by_id(parent)
    parts.each
do |part|
      new_part = PagePart.new(part[
:name])
      new_part.filter_id = part[
:filter_id]
      new_part.content = part[:content]
      page.parts << new_part

end
    page.save
  end

then I run

new_page("test automatic", [{:name=>"body", :filter_id=>"Markdown",
:content=>""}, {:name=>"extended",:filter_id=>"",
:content=>""}],"test-automatic","test automatic")

and get the error

NoMethodError: undefined method `stringify_keys!' for "body":String
        from
./script/../config/../config/../vendor/rails/activerecord/lib/active_record/base.rb:1506:in
`attributes='
        from
./script/../config/../config/../vendor/rails/activerecord/lib/active_record/base.rb:1354:in
`initialize_without_callbacks'
        from
./script/../config/../config/../vendor/rails/activerecord/lib/active_record/callbacks.rb:236:in
`initialize'
        from (irb):63:in `new_page'
        from (irb):62:in `new_page'
        from (irb):70
        from :0

I've also tried creating the part_parts object using a straightforward call
from the console (p= PagePart.new("body")) with the same error resulting.

I'm on a OS X 10.4 mac with a slightly outdated install of Darwinports, but
everything seems to be running local here, not off my Rails install.

Any thoughts on how I can batch-generate pages or fix this script?

Thanks,

Ethan
