Hello,

I was wondering if anyone knows if there is a page\_attributes  
extension for radiant?  
(the one on the wiki is a “a Branch of Radiant Facets PLUS an  
Extension”)

Example,

I have band members who play an instrument (bass, drum, piano,etc) I  
would like to have the title of a page be the name of the musician and  
an attribute with the instrument so I can easily display a short list  
of everyone on the parent page without duplicating too much  
information (this also makes it easier when someone leaves/joins the  
band).

Any thoughts on this?

Bye,

Jeroen J.

```
But looks complex to install. Maybe try to simulate attributes with

```

page parts? Just an “attributes” part with the attributes in the body  
(in  
YAML?). Then handle that data with an extension (or back door).

```

```

You could create a band page that loop through its children displaying  
the title of the page  
and the page part named “instrument”. I think it should be easier.

The multiple-parts strategy is probably the easiest way to do it. I’m  
about to start on a custom Radiant-based project and I have some ideas  
brewing about this problem. Of course, the page/content template idea  
in the page-attributes fork/tweak is a wonderful strategy, if you can  
get it to work. I’m sure the author (Jacob?) would be willing to help  
answer questions about it.
