An extension by Aissac that adds templating support to Radiant CMS.
- Define named templates (stereotypes) for Pages;
- Templates are assigned per-parent Page, making all children have the defined 'stereotype' by their parent;
- You can specify the new page's parts, filters, layout, page type and status.
Stereotype Extension has one dependency, the Radiant Custom Fields Extension.
git submodule add git://github.com/Aissac/radiant-custom-fields-extension.git vendor/extensions/custom_fields
Because Stereotype Extension keeps the settings in the Radiant::Config table it is highly recommended to install the Settings Extension
git submodule add git://github.com/Squeegy/radiant-settings.git vendor/extensions/settings
Finally, install the Stereotype Extension
git submodule add git://github.com/Aissac/radiant-stereotype-extension.git vendor/extensions/stereotype
To add stereotypes you need to add fields to the Radiant::Config table. There are three types of settings for each stereotype:
1.) Page Parts (and filters)
The key has to look like: stereotype.<name_of_the_stereotype>.parts and the value body:markdown,sidebar:textile.
2.) Layout
The key has to look like: stereotype.<name_of_the_stereotype>.layout and the value has to be the name of a layout (case sensitive)
3.) Page type
The key should look like: stereotype.<name_of_the_stereotype>.page_type and the value has to be a valid class_name attribute of the Page class. (Examples: ArchivePage, FileNotFoundPage or ArchiveMonthIndexPage)
4.) Status
The key has to look like: stereotype.<name_of_stereotype>.status and the value has to be a valid status attribute of the page: draft, hidden, reviewed, published
1.) Add stereotypes as described in the configuration section.
2.) Edit/create a new page that has children and select a stereotype from the dropdown labeled "Stereotype". Child pages added to this page will be created with their attributes set by default to the fields you configured.
3.) ...
4.) Profit!
