Im interested in whether there is any kind of paging for the Pages. For example if I'm publishing news stories everyday it's likely to get very full right? |

there is no paging in administration (pages, snippet and layout a fully listed) |

Could there / should there be? Wouldn't you run into performance issues and just plain trouble to manage with hundreds of articles? |

for the moment I have no idea how to manage paging in a tree ( if you have some let me know ) :) |

hmmm, I didn't think I was going to have to think ;) Yeah it would be quite hard especially considering the reordering. I'm willing to give it some though. |

This strikes me as a significant point for development ... managing 100's of entries (someday!) will be awkward.; Another possibility would be filtering, wouldn't it? Could you apply a "this month" or "last two weeks" or "only this author" filter to cut down on the pages presented by the admin? Just a thought! David. |

I currently work on a big site with Frog ( 1000 + pages ) including news and in both french and english, and it is not a problem to have more then 200 news the person that writing news rarely extend the news page, only when y have to modify some typo error and I have test it and it is as fast as a 10 pages branch. And in general the news or article to edit is in the first !! |

What if you make a separate news/ blog component that links to the news index page. From there, all your news is managed separately from the other pages. Just a thought. |

Philippe makes a good point that actually it's not a common action to go back through old posts, but I do like the idea of filtering week/month/author etc.. You could then potentially keep drag and drop? |

Wouldn't an option be to "mark" a page somehow by assiging a category/tag/type to it and then filter by category/tag/type? That would be the most simple and elegant solution to reduce the number of pages... also, a way to filter by title would be handy. BTW: I'm new here... just discovered Frog and LOVE its simplicity! Whatever you do, always keep it simple by default please! :-) |

Okay let's revive this thread because it's an important issue. Even with a small site, pagination is going to become an issue because of the blog feature, which can eventually accumulate hundreds or thousands of articles. The default tree system for managing pages is fine as the default and meets 80% of use case scenarios, but we also need a plugin that provides a way to manage pages using a more traditional interface similar to what you would find in WordPress for example. To me, it doesn't seem like it should be complicated. The important thing I would think is to make sure that the default page (the current tree system) doesn't crash when there are too many pages in it--basically if there's not already a limit, there needs to be a limit set (probably around 100 pages at each branch/level). Then an advanced interface on another tab/panel should provide a system similar to blogs and other CMS. Provide filters for selecting dates, children of certain pages and so on. |

@ricks - Three quick thoughts:
Something to go on, anyway! It would be good to see this move forward. IMO. :) |
