ExtraContent is an open source method for getting additional content into places that most content management systems CMS can't reach.It was developed by a small innovativer group of RapidWeaver theme developers looking to extend the abilities of RapidWeaver beyond the two content areas typically allowed.

Many blog engines and CMS software are often limited to content being added to in either the main content area or the sidebar.
ExtraContent aims to change that.

RWT updates H3 to use ExtraContent
31-03-09 11:24 Filed in: News
Some time ago, Gary at RWT released a theme, H3, that gave users a way to have a truly usable 3 column layout in RapidWeaver. The manner in which is was done was a little complex to the uninitiated though. Since the arrival of ExtraContent, however, it only makes sense that Gary would update H3 to utilize ExtraContent to propagate this 3 column and that’s exactly what he did.
You can check out the new H3 here, and take a look at the tutorial movies. Take an especially close look at this movie, which demonstrates how you can use ExtraContent to make a search bar in your sites header.

Developer SDK updated to r1.3
23-02-09 15:53 Filed in: News
The ExtraContent Developer SDK has been updated to r1.3. This update improves compatibility with end user content that includes script blocks or script calls. This would include those who are using Pluskit’s @import(()) rule to pull in YourHead’s Collage 2 or Kwix pages. This should also improve FireFox support for the same issue.
I would consider the change major enough to warrant updating your themes with this new version as soon as you have done your own complete and comprehensive testing. The improved compatibility will make many end users happy.
Also in this update we have included the latest jQuery build, v1.3.2, and have updated or added a few of the snippets. We have also included a new documents folder with weblocs to all of the necessary tutorials and manual.
The last item of interest added to the SDK is the ExtraContent Stack for use with YourHead’s Stacks plugin which you can freely distribute in your packages.
