Well, that is exactly what I needed. Thanks again, Jamie!
I can't say if the following code is the best, most efficient way, but here it
is for posterity sake-
module FaqTag
include Radiant::Taggable
class TagError < StandardError; end
# <r:answername />
# <r:summary />
# etc...
#
(Answerbookpage.column_names.dup).each do |method|
tag(method.to_s) do |tag|
tag.locals.page.send(method)
end
end
tag "faq" do |tag|
tag.expand
end
tag "faq:each" do |tag|
result = []
Answerbookpage.find(:all).each do |item|
tag.locals.child = item
tag.locals.page = item
result << tag.expand
end
result
end
end
