[Radiant] Developing Radiant site

[Oli Studholme]

Hi Joe,

I’ve basically been doing what you say, a text file for each  
template and copy/paste into the admin interface (or small tweaks  
there then c&p back). I’m using sqlite as my database so since  
it’s text I just added the whole db file to SVN (along with my  
text files and everything else). I haven’t had to do a diff on  
the db, but it should be possible. This also means pushing changes to  
the live server is just rsyncing the sqlite db file up. It’s not  
pretty but it seems to work ok and having the db in svn is better than  
nothing.

There’s supposedly an extension to link everything in the admin  
interface (pages?, snippets, layouts) to text files, so changes to the  
text files automatically get imported into the db (similar to the link  
to file option in MovableType), but I dunno if it’s been  
released. It was mentioned on one of the Radiant podcasts, and you  
could ask Sean Cribbs about it if it sounds useful.

I think versioning/staging etc isn’t due until about v0.9, so if  
you need something better you’ll probably have to make it  
yourself. Of course if you do please tell us!

peace - oli
