refinery cms and google analytics

Refinery CMS has the possibility to add your Google analytics ID directly into your website over the admin backend.
But to add the analytics JavaScript code into your website you have to add the following code into the application.html.erb of your template before you close the tag:

<%= render :partial => '/shared/google_analytics' %>

Now you can use your Google Analytics ID from the settings to track your website.

new software: radiant cms

alokat.org is online with a new design and a new blogging system called: radiant cms.
Radiant cms is a very small blogging software written with Ruby on Rails to share your stuff with the world but it’s very powerful as well.
You can write your articles in a special syntax called radius template language which is a powerful toolkit and gives you full access about what you wanna post. You have a huge pool of extensions to create and design your own version of a blog.

The basic version concentrates on the important things of a blog: articles / the design and a little user management. It’s not so powerful like wordpress for example but as I said you have a lot of plugins to use.

I have changed to use radiant cause I have used wordpress before but it has to much things by default – a huge settings and design area and the whole little settings you can use if you wanna post an entry.

Radiant is very small in the basic version – there are just the things available you need to add some posts and manage you blog but you can extend it as you wish. The second point is that I hate php. :-)
