Custom fields to pages - like "Template Variable" in ModX CMS - bugman - 2011-05-19

I'm adopt of ModX CMS Smile but found GS great as tiny but extensible tool. Is there any way to create and use own adittional fields in pages? For example there's a page template that holds two separate contents (don't think of reason - just imagine it). I would like to have adittional "Content" field in page edit mode and use it in my template.

In a ModX, you can create Template Variables (TV for short) - a kind of custom fields, that connected to a template. When you select (or changing) a template of a page - all thouse TV that are connected to a template appears and you can assing them values.
Here is the official docs - http://wiki.modxcms.com/index.php/Template_Variable

The plugins are named like your question: I18N Custom Fields or the original Custom Fields (which I think does not support additional WYSIWYG fields).
