[Radiant] [ANN] New Radiant site(s)

[Mark Gallop]

Sean,

Thanks for the help.

Yep, there is a fck extension which I only used briefly as I had some 
issues with it (I can't recall what didn't work/fit for me). Since then 
I have been using the fck plugin at 
http://rubyforge.org/projects/fckeditorp/ with a radiant extension which 
replaces the textarea if the filter type is "RichText". With fck setup 
to ignore radiant tags, this was working fine, until uploading documents 
broke. I just can't figure out why uploading is no longer working.

If you can share your fck extension I would grateful. It may help me 
work out what has gone wrong for me.

Also, is it possible to install a rails plugin within a radiant extension?

Cheers,
Mark
