    Excellent plugin. It works perfectly and I find it very useful.

    (Pär, I wanted to leave this comment,but I was a little put off doing so because the titles are in Swedish(?). Heck if I know what ”Skriv ett svar” means.

    • Pär skriver:

      Thanks!

      ”Skriv ett svar” = ”Write an answer” :)

      I know my pages are a bit of mess… I didn’t plan to write a lot of stuff in english, but then my plugins came along!

    Hey,

    Plugin does not seem to work in IE8 unless ”top” in line 169 and 171 of cms_tree_page_view.js is changed to top2 or something generic.

    top2 = -3;d
    div_actions.css(”left”, left);
    div_actions.css(”top”, top2);

    Tree show but the there is no popout box of edit etc.

    I have no clue about this but I am good with google :) http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1279572/javascript-error-in-ie8-not-implemented So simply a matter of naming? ”Top” is a no no it seems.

    I love this Page View Plugin that you have provided for general use.

    I will endorse your work because I haven’t had a single problem with the plugin to-date …. other plugins can be a nightmare, an absolute headache to use and fix when they go wrong …. but NOT YOURS!

    You have got it right!

    Hi, your tree view plugin has been a huge help simplifying how I order my pages. But wiith these last two upgrades something strange has happened. I get the page tree view on the dashboard but when I go to the stand alone page it is a ”Post” tree view. Very strange.

    A post tree view would be very nice but I also would like my page tree view back : )

    Still a great plugin!

    • Pär skriver:

      Thanks for the bug report. Another user also reported this so I must have done something terribly wrong somewhere. :/

      Anyway, I’ll try to find fix this as soon as possible and post another update.

      • Chip Cain skriver:

        Pär,

        Your latest upgrade did the trick. It works like a charm now. Hopefully it will work just as well for the other person who reported this.

        Thank you,
        Chip

  20. Marc skriver:

    Great plugin! Only thing that doesn’t work for me is the auto update of the links. If I move a page to become a subpage of an existing page all the pages work (links). However when I move the newly created subpage back to become a root page, the link doesn’t work. It shows a 404 error. The link the page editor shows when editing the page is correct, and if i update the page without making changes the (same) page links works perfectly.

    • Pär skriver:

      Ok, thanks for the report. I’ll try and see if that happens for me too, and if it does I will fix it in the next version.

    • Pär skriver:

      I am unable to reproduce this. Do you have any plugins installed that could interfere with CMS Tree Page View? Perhaps a cache-plugin or similar?

      • Pär skriver:

        Ok, I think I’ve solved it. It was a problem with cache-plugins. I got the problem with DB Cache Reloaded, but the same problem probably exists with other caching plugins.

        I will try to post a new version later today.

        • Marc skriver:

          Just updated to the new version, and the problem is gone. Thanks alot for your fast response. I was using w3 total cache, so I guess it indeed was a cache plugin that was conflicting.

          Again, great work on the plugin and the fix!

  22. Vanya skriver:

    Great plugin, thanks a lot! If you allow me to ask – is there something similar for the Attributes: select a parent page drop-down menu – I’ve got a very long list of pages and if I need to assign a parent page to a new one I have to scroll down through all my pages. If the pages to choose from were displayed with check boxes (as the categories are) it would be much easier to assign a parent page from a very long list.
    Thanks

    Hej, jag använder detta plugin dagligen i min webshop det är helt underbart!

    Det enda som saknas är en ”delete” eller ”Trash” länk, alla vill kanske inte ha detta, men det borde finnas en setting, som slåt på den, för det så galet plågsamt att behöva gå in på en vara för att kunna ta bort den!

    Älskar det jobb du gör! Du och dina pluggin har sparat mig många timmars arbete!!

    Tack!

    • Pär skriver:

      Tackar! Jag har väl en vag tanke/idé om att införa någon form av markera-flera-artiklar-och-gör-något-med-dom-funktion. Typ flytta till papperskorgen.

      Någon har föreslagit möjligheten att ersätta vanliga pages-sidan med min plugin, och jag måste nog medge att jag är inne på den linjen också. Men isf måste CMS Tree Page View klara av allt som vanliga pages-sidan kan. Typ flytta till papperskorgen..

  24. Jill Rhoads skriver:

    If only you had the same idea for internal work with categories…

  25. Dave Tollefsen skriver:

    We moved our site from one server to another. Everything was working semo-perfectly before -had issues with timing out so we moved. After the move it tree wouldn’t expand -I reinstalled. Now when I move a page to a different location in the tree, it doesn’t update the URL and if I go to a different page and come back, it reverts to original location. Any ideas?

    • Pär skriver:

      Sounds a bit strange. No new plugin or anything? Perhaps you have any caching or redirecting-plugins that could interfere with my plugin?

    I have a lot of draft and pending pages. Is it possible to have the default view of the page widget on the dashboard be ‘public’ rather than ‘all’?

  30. GB skriver:

    Your plugins are excellent.

    Wanted to donate, but your PayPal donate page is not in English. Maybe, providing an English donation page might help. To many fields on a donation form may chase donors away.

    Suggestion:

    Your Simple Fields plugin reminds mean of Drupal Views that allows users to query their database and output custom results. WordPress does not have such a plugin. It would be worth a great deal to many people. I would be prepared to pay for such a plugin.

    Hope this helps.

    • Pär skriver:

      Thanks for your comment. I’ll make sure that the PayPal donate page is in English in the future (to be honest, I never understood that it was in Swedish for all users!).

      I’ll see if I can take a look at the Drupal Views feature. Probably don’t have the time or need for it right now.. but you never know :)

    • Pär skriver:

      Ok, I’ve updated the donate page and I hope it’s in english now.

    Hello,

    Your plugin seems to be great, but I can’t make it work. As soon as I enable it, my website stops working and displays those two lines :

    Warning: require_once(includes/fn-general.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /homepages/38/d251675450/htdocs/functions.php on line 11

    I don’t know what to do.

    Thank you.

    • Pär skriver:

      Hi! Sorry to hear you’re having a problem. I do however don’t believe that error is caused by my plugin. The file ”fn-general.php” is not part of the plugin anyway. My guess is that it is another plugin that is the root of your problem. Try disabled all other plugins and see if you get the same error.

      • Frederic skriver:

        Hello.

        I’ve tried, but the error is still there, even with the new version. I don’t understand at all..

        If I disable all the extensions, all works fine.
        If I enable all the extensions except yours, all works fine.
        If I enable only your extension, I’ve got the error.
        If I enable all the extensions, I’ve got the error.

    I upgraded to the latest version of CMS Tree Page View (0.7.10) and now it doesn’t want to expand the 45 sub-pages under a parent page in a tree view. Other parent page i got has 36 sub-pages and there is no problem with viewing them. Oh, and I probably should mention that every of this 45 pages has 8 sub-pages. Can you help me out?

  34. joe skriver:

    Hi there,
    I ran into a little problem with your plugin. I am using WPML. I have 125 pages that are translated in 3 languages, when I move one page with CMS Tree Page View it looses the connection to the other translated pages, we have done extensive rearranging and then all the pages have lost their connction to each other …….

    best regards

    @Dalton: How does one implement that helper plugin code you referenced? I tried copying your code into a file named ”cms-tree-page-view-helper.php” in the plugins folder. That allowed me to activate your plugin, but it doesn’t ”Replace the standard Edit page with the CMS Tree Page View.” And yes, I have the CMS Tree Page View plugin installed and running fine. WP 3.0.3.

    Hi, First, thanks very much for a really helpful plugin.
    Works perfectly and as expected. If you don’t mind though, may I
    suggest a minor tweak. It would be nice if there was a slight delay
    before the ‘action’ box appears after mousing over a menu item.
    Often, I have to move the mouse completely off the menu in order to
    see what is under the ‘actions’ box, and then bring the mouse back
    after (I hope that makes sense). Just to say again, really
    appreciate the plugin. Paul.

    Hi Pär:

    I see there’s a new version available (0.7.14) and am wondering if it deals with the two questions I’ve brought up above…

    ——-

    1. CMS Tree Page View to replace the built-in page manager?

    In the WP forum link below, I detailed how I tweaked /cms-tree-page-view/functions.php to achieve this with the ”Admin Menu Editor” plugin. Was that tweak incorporated into the new version of your plugin? Or will I have to do it again?

    Is there a way to disable the descriptive popup windows in the tree? I run into having to move my cursor out because some of the popup windows are large and block parts of the tree as I move down.

    Hej Pär, awsome plugin!

    Is there a way of applying the same interface to other taxonomies (custom ones) behaving the same way as pages (hierarcical, etc)?

    Im not necesarily asking u to do it, just wondering if there are any technical obstacles in the wp architecture that might prevent it…

    What do say?

  44. himitsu skriver:

    I love it.

    It would be nice if at some point also could see directly to any page that has the visibility (public, password-protected or private) and whether comments and trackbacks and pingbacks are allowed.

  45. Jean skriver:

    I’d like to suggest that you add a ‘duplicate’ function to the menu that appears when you mouse over a page title in the Tree View. I’ve worked on numerous sites where this would have saved me a considerable amount of time.

  46. Paul skriver:

    Hi,

    First of all – thanks for sharing your lovely plugin.

    One small debug issue – in development I have DEBUG turned on – but this ‘breaks’ your plugin if errors are displayed in the browser – the ‘PHP notice’ get’s output in a bad location in the code.

    Anyway, the notice says that the field …

    ”caller_get_posts” > 1

    … has been deprecated and should be replaced with …

    ”ignore_sticky_posts” => 1

    Once again, thanks.
