Components assigned to page

[eddyfever]

When creating a component it can be assigned to a page.
When editting the page, the component will be also editable under the normal edit field.

Agreed. See my post here re: More on Components... - Would also be nice to load the components into the Theme editor.

How would you determine where on the page the component would show up?

Maybe the sidbar has the UI to select the Component (checkbox, radio, dropdown... i dunno) and then an "Insert" button which could add it into the active insertion point in the Editor pane. I was only looking for a way to eliminate jumping back and forth copying/pasting etc from the Components into the Theme code. I'm sure there's a ton of better solutions.

Good thing TinyMCE (i think that's what I saw for the WYSIWYG) is pretty easy to modify like that

I don't agree with this kind of component integration. this is "GetSimple CMS"
On the other, I would put components as another tab cause now it seems to be subcategory of a certain theme (and we know components are used generally by all themes).

Maybe something with dynamic and fixed components

- Fixed components like the way they are now
- Dynamic components like under page options "add dynamic component" then a extra field appears and can be insert in the code with: <?php get_component('dynamic1'); ?> then everypage page where you add a extra dynamic component is called "dynamic1"

This is my first thought about it, what do you think about.
