Late response, but if you're running Radiant on edge you might also check out two recent extensions, PageFactory and PageParts. PageFactory accomplishes the same thing as Stereotypes, allowing you set up pages with default parts. The main difference is that these definitions live in app/models, instead of in the database.
PageParts would allow you to enter meeting dates with a nice calendar pop-up instead of entering them as text (screenshot: http://bit.ly/c5KZ7R) . Additionally, you get some extra Radius tags for working with pages that have dates -- for instance, you could choose to display only meetings with dates after Date.today. (Self-promotion alert: I had a heavy hand in both of these.) j On Apr 7, 2010, at 1:00 PM, [email protected] wrote: > Hey Everyone, I just started looking into Radiant to use as our > team's CMS > and it looks pretty cool... you guys have done a great job!
