Hello all! Been a while since I've pestered you all, and I've been working on my site a lot. I did come up with an idea that would improve my life and likely many others. Right now, Radiant's input is essentially a big text box and multiple parts/sections capable. Now, here is my thought; I tend to have some 'common' options throughout my site, and it'd be easier to do a radio button selection, or check boxes, or similar. Also, there are some common links I tend to use. Right now for some of it I use either the existence of certain tabs or data within certain tabs to support this. Here's the thought
For tabs, instead of allowing straight text, why not allow the building of 'options' pages. IE:- There'd be 'body', 'extended', and 'options', and options would be inherited from parent for ease of adding it, and it would be a list of options and variables. For example. I do reviews. I have three styles of reviews right now: Full (Normal) review, Quick overviews and Follow-Up reviews. I'd love to have a radio button set that I could set up that it'd change some of the underlying structure (Which is commong between them all) based on which is chosen. You could (I'm not) also be able to make a short text entry box for a rating 'number' that'd show up in a floating div to the side of the review, or a check-box to allow an image to show up 'Me-Approved!' On top of this, you could also eventually add image and file support including an uploader. This would be extremely handy if you have a common screenshot div that you'd like to just add quickly. Allow you to select from a server-side location for the file or an automatic uploader. Ideas or suggestions? I know I may be vague, but it was my brainstorm this morning on how to extend Radiant. Thanks!
