I use snippets both ways so I thought I'd offer some couple of suggestions. I'm not sure how keen I am on these ideas yet... 1. Have both Content Snippets and Design Snippets (visible to their respective users, of course). Namespacing would have to be addressed (one possible solution would be layouts show preference for using Design Snippets and fall back to using Content Snippet if an appropriately named Design Snippet is not found. Pages would show the reverse preference or maybe only permit the use of Content Snippets). 2. Same as #1 but offer a configuration (either at the Radiant UI level or a Rake task for use at site creation). This way site admins could turn on or off the two snippets. You could have one type or both or even none (ala John Muhl) 3. In many ways Snippets are just Page Parts without a URL. What if Snippets remained content items and Layouts had their own reference-able page parts for reusable content. 4. Similar to #3 What if the layout snippets were combined with Layouts in the index view. It strikes me that there aren't that many layouts in most sites nor layout snippets. Perhaps it would simplify things in the users mind if they were more tightly grouped together. Or maybe these are all just baloney. I wanted to record them for posterity and throw them out there in case it gave anyone an idea. BTW, the survey question #3 doesn't allow for "both" And I'd probably answer the same for #4 too. -Chris ___ Radiant mailing list Post: Radiant@radiantcms.org Search: http://radiantcms.org/mailing-list/search/ Site: http://lists.radiantcms.org/mailman/listinfo/radiant
