Re: [Radiant] Custom Fields

Thanks Josh. I'll take a closer look at PageParts. I was manually creating
page parts with this information before, so this would be an improvement.

Looking forward to the screencasts.

If you're on edge, PageParts + PageFactory might approximate what  
you're trying to do. PageParts would store those extra fields as  
parts, not in another association; so it might not be exactly what  
you're looking for. But right out of the box, PP + PF would let you do  
this:

 class EventPageFactory < PageFactory::Base
 part "Start Date", :page_part_type => "DatePagePart"
 part "Organizer", :content => "Default value goes here"
 end

I'm putting together a screencast on the two extensions, it should be  
posted in a few days.
