I did some pretty nifty stuff with FlexiContent, and the site is looking good. Mind you, it's work in progress, so there might be bugs. Check it here:
saunders.smakstest.no/cms/
On the "work" page, I'm pulling the medium size thumb from image field 1. The sub-menu is just used for sorting, the sorting magic is done by the Quicksand jQuery plugin ( razorjack.net/quicksand/ )
On the "Office/Press" page, I'm pulling images and content from subcategories. (I implemented the code for pulling sub-items.)
Some of these items has attachments, and some has external links. I replicated the stuff I did with the image plugin on the file plugin, and added some more clean values to play around with.
The category_subcategories for the Press-section showcases all the changes I made. It looks like this:
I really like that you use normal Joomla logic in the templates. It makes FC a great platform to develop on.
I do however think that the "advanced" fields/plugins like file and image should have a uniform way to extract basic, clean information. I understand the need for a "dummy" display for speedy sitebuilding, but it seems counter-intuitive (for me at least) that the only way to extract data is through (sometimes bloated) pre-formatted HTML. I want my code as clean as possible
I'd propose that these params are put in its own object or array. I'll try to make a proposal file and put it up here later this week.

} else {
$link = 'href="'.$subitem->fields["externalurl"]->display.'" target="_blank" title="Visit: '.$subitem->fields["externalurl"]->display.'"';
}
}
?>
<li>
<a class="img" <?php if(!empty($link)) echo $link; ?>>
<img src="<?php echo $subitem->fields["pressimage"]->medium ?>" alt="<?php echo $this->escape($subitem->title); ?>" />
<h3><a <?php if(!empty($link)) echo $link; ?>><?php echo $this->escape($subitem->title); ?></h3>
<?php echo $subitem->text; ?>

If you would like to get your more advanced suggestions for both the images and files plug-ins into the upcoming v1.5.3 . . . now is the time to get it in.
