Comparing version 48 and version 47

General
A small [[Radiant Handbook]] is in the works, but is currently very rough. Please help us flesh out the details!

Radius Tags
Curious about the tags that are available to a Radiant site? Be sure to read Tag Primers "1":http://radiantcms.org/blog/archives/2006/05/11/tag-primer/ and "2":http://radiantcms.org/blog/archives/2006/06/15/tag-primer-2/. There is also a "page in the handbook":/Using_Radiant which has some useful information. If you are really inquisitive, check out the source for "standard_tags.rb":http://dev.radiantcms.org/radiant/browser/trunk/radiant/app/models/standard_tags.rb. The "Radius Quickstart Guide":http://radius.rubyforge.org/files/QUICKSTART.html also has some great pointers for creating tags.

Extensions
A [[Creating Radiant Extensions|beautiful tutorial]] has been written that will help you create your first [[Extensions|extension]]. There is also a whole(pre v0.6.8) list of [[Thirdparty Extensions|third party extensions]] to give you a head start on your current projects. There is a global "extensions registry":http://ext.radiantcms.org/extensions (created coincidentally with  the "v0.6.8 release":http://radiantcms.org/blog/archives/2008/07/27/radiant-0-6-8---incise-release/ ) of extensions with installer/uninstaller scripts.

How Tos and Tutorials
The Radiant Handbook contains a number of helpful [[How Tos]] and [[Tutorials]].

Read the Source Code
The best way to learn about Radiant, by far, is to read the source. Ruby is extremely easy to read and Radiant is a straight forward Rails application. So don't be afraid of the source, dig in! The "app directory":http://github.com/radiant/radiant/tree/master/app is a good place to start.

Summer Reboot Radiant Documentation
[[Summer Reboot]] is an effort to create comprehensive documentation for Radiant, covering the main aspects of working with Radiant, including the use of common extensions, etc.  The documentation generated in this effort will be eventually merged into the [[Radiant Handbook]] once it has achieved a certain level of maturity.  Join in and help out if you have the time.
