Hi all,

I’m working on two Radiant projects which need a custom model that  
has\_many parts just like Page does. I used to basically copy-paste stuff  
from the original radiant views to resemble the look&feel within the  
views of my model. Is there a more standard way to reuse the tabbed view  
of parts in another model?

Any help is appreciated. Kind regards,

Christian

This is a definite goal. In fact, I’ll make a github issue about it.  
But I don’t have any guidance for you.

I’d like to create some helpers and re-examine the html/css/javascript  
to ensure that this is easy to do.

Please give your feedback on this and contribute to the prototype  
where we’ll work this out
