Dradis is a tool used for structured information storage and sharing. Although it is applicable to various environments, it is originally aimed at information security consultants working alone or in a team. One of the great features of the application is that the client side’s functionality can be extended by what is called (quite creatively) – extensions.
In this post I’ll be looking at what an extension is, how it fits into the dradis framework and how to write your own extensions.
You are welcome to jump ahead to the How do I write my own extension? if that is the only part that you are interested in.

One of the new things we released last week with dradis v2.0 was a new web site for the project (dradis.sourceforge.net).
The old site consisted of 20 static pages or so, which was nice and easy but a real pain to maintain or restructure. So we thought that letting Rails do the heavy lifting for us would be a good idea, but we did not want to set up a Rail environment in the server…
What we finally did is use Rails as a tool to create a static site that we could .tar.gz and upload to the server. As a starting point we used a post in www.chuckvose.com and this is how we completed it to fit our needs.
Follow up (2009-03-23): do not miss how to integrate your rails-static site with Rake and Subversion in the second article of this series: Use Rails to Create a Static Site: Rake and Subversion.
