Custom Field or New Component?

[designthing]

Thankyou ALL for your replies and helpful code hints. I am working on this now. It seems there are a few paths that lead to a solution. I think this knowedge should be available in the WIKI for other users who might never find answers. The Plugins by Mvlcek are amazing but my only criticism is that the documentation is not clear enough to PHP newbies. For example, the Custom Field Plugin 118N i found very vague - what to add in the field boxes, why the default fields were blank, where to put the code and from where to edit. All obvious to you experts and intermediates, but not to me. I did find the News Manager very well documented. Again, the Pagify Plugin stumped me.

Example excerpt from http://mvlcek.bplaced.net/get-simple/pagify:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
specify a tag/keyword _pagify x for your page, where x is the approximate size in bytes, or
call the function pagify_set_size(x) in your template.

To see the full content, add a parameter complete to your page's URL.

Where do i place _pagify x, what size in bytes- what is that and how do i know? and call function pagify_set_size(X).
Sorry to be a nuisance, but i want to use these great plugins but i cannot because i don't have the ducumentation for newbs like me!
I love Getsimple CMS but its not that simple :-P
