Hi Kevin, I just saw advanced plugin system in repository :) I didn't try it yet and not sure if it is already in state so one can play with it.
Like I saw in one presentation 80% of websites fits what Radiant can handle, but it would be great if you can use Radiant even if a website need to have custom control/model or two and not to loose 90% of time to do that ;) best, Bojan Kevin Ansfield wrote: > Hi Bojan, > > At the moment Radiant can be extended with behaviors that allow pages > to have specific functionality and plugins that extend radiant to > provide global radius tags. > > This doesn't lend itself well to adding custom models without hacking > the core.
