Sean, you're too fast... Well Timothy, you're in luck. At John's request, I have put together an extension to manage CSS & JS files as assets separate from normal pages. I've got a little rearranging that he's asked for before I release it into the wild. Look for an announcement here soon - probably by this weekend.
In the meantime, Sean's explanation saved me some time explaining it here and works well enough for how (though we've all felt it a little hack-ish -- hence the new solution). As to other assets, Sean has a very well used PageAttachments extension, Andrea Franz has a Gallery extension and Keith Bingman also has an Assets extension (though he'll be the first to tell you it's not production ready right now). Links and info on these third party extensions can be found here: http://wiki.radiantcms.org/Thirdparty_Extensions -Chris Timothy Jones wrote: > Greetings, > > I'm just ramping up on Radiant.
