Why don't you merge this with the original tutorial (delete the Hacking section), but make your article a "Part 2" on a separate page. That way it will complete the original tutorial. Thanks John. I've split the original article in two, as you suggested: http://wiki.radiantcms.org/Creating_Radiant_Extensions http://wiki.radiantcms.org/Creating_Radiant_Extensions_B I put the controller, view and route stuff into the first part of the article, pushed the "Creating custom tags" stuff into the second part, and finished off with the CSS and images to make the admin area look more like part of Radiant. I've removed Bill's section on hacking a scaffold. I still need to update the screenshots, but I'll get round to that later.

Your article looks great. I added the Hacking section a few weeks ago when I was learning about extensions. The hack is kind of ugly, and your solution looks a lot nicer. The tutorial is greatly improved by your addition.
