I just tried RadiantCMS and I like it.

I decided to make a flickr behavior but I need some ideas.

There are 2 thing I need:

- a simple way to add a flickr thumb to a page for my blogging needs
- a gallery with one main page where there are pictures from one  
flickr tag and a preview page (a real page not lightbox).

For the second thing I think of just creating \<r:flickr:gallery\> and  
\<r:flickr:preview\> tags.  
That isn’t the problem. I alread have a simple r:flickr:gallery tag  
working.

The first thing is easy to create, but I have a question about this.

I think it would be nice to have this tag also available in other  
behaviors. Like a flickr thumb on a missing page or something like that.  
The easy way I could think of was to just create a snippet with the  
flickr tags I need and then use this snippet in other behaviors. But  
this doesn’t work because it isn’t possible to select a behavior in a  
snippet.

Maybe I just have to add these tags to the base behavior?  
That would work, but maybe not a good idea?

Any ideas or suggestions?

The easiest way to do this right now is to create a page that has your  
flickr behavior and create a page part with the HTML fragment that you  
would like to include in a snippet. Then in your snippet all you do is:

\<r:find url="/path/to/page"\>  
\<r:content part=“pagepart”/\>  
\</r:find\>

This will render the page part in the context of the page behavior and  
include the result into the snippet.

Cheers,  
Oliver
