Hello, I am just curious if there are any plans to  
allow for custom data types in the core or if anyone  
might have an example of how they added this  
generically?

[http://lists.radiantcms.org/pipermail/radiant/2006-May/000280.html](http://lists.radiantcms.org/pipermail/radiant/2006-May/000280.html)

I’d like to do pretty much with custom fields that was  
discussed in the thread from the mailing list above,  
and it looks like there were some ideas put forth, but  
I don’t see specifically a decision being made. I’m  
tempted to work on hacking something together for  
myself, but don’t want to reinvent the wheel and  
curious how others may have solved this problem or if  
there is a plan to add this functionality.

Thanks!  
Justin

The Page\_part\_types does exactly what you ask for and what most of what  
is  
talked about in the link you sent.  
I am using it on 2 sites for a good few months now with no problems.  
you can find it on the TRAC site

I think this is not the way radiant is going to at the moment and this  
will  
probably wont work with future versions of radiant (still does with the  
current), if someone knows on how to do it in implementations like the  
mental branch, I’ld to hear your ideas, and implement them
