Welcome to Radiant On Crack
Radiant on Crack is my experimental branch of the Radiant CMS project. I’ve been making experimenting with a few things that need some fairly fundamental changes to the underlying codebase of radiant, and my immediate needs are somewhat different to those of the core developers. The primary goal of what I’m doing here is to make Radiant powerful enough to run The Groggy Squirrel, which is currently powered by a hand-rolled and very unfriendly cms-like system.
Before you ask, this is not a political fork of the project, it’s a practical one. The radiant people have been more than friendly to my ideas, I just need a platform to actually show off what I’m doing, get some feedback and hopefully help along some others that need a little more than what radiant offers at the moment. I look forward to most of my changes working their way into core in some way, shape or form – probably with a better implementation than I can come up with. If you’re patient, I recommend waiting for core to catch up.
I Do Not Recommend Running Radiant On Crack on a live site – I’ve given it a stupid name for a good reason. I don’t want anybody basing their livelihood on it. I will have no qualms about ripping out implementations and completely reworking things in a possibly backward incompatibly manner. Unless you’re willing and able to dive into the ruby code and hack it about to fix it and make it work, don’t use it. Consider yourself warned.
