Radiant Feedback Extension

Technologies: Radiant CMS, Radiant Extension API, Radiant Mailer Extension

The Solution:
some of projects required a highly customisable email form page for the Radiant CMS backed by database storage of data collected from users. Radiant’s Mailer extension provided a large component of what project desired, so we worked together to identify the missing functionality.

By creating a new Feedback Extension which inherited from the Mailer extension, I was able to provide the additional features for exporting the user’s feedback into the database, without modifying the core of either Radiant or the Mailer extension.

A “User Feedback” tab was added to the default Radiant administration area, allowing the administrator to view and delete feedback submitted by users, and the administrator can now specify required fields which must be completed to permit form submission.

Despite the fact that this project was the first time I had worked with the Radiant CMS at all, I was able to very quickly get up to speed and understand the Extension API, which is very straightforward, yet allowed me to customise the interface exactly as I wanted.
