Strigulino Lost but trying Posts: 12 Reg: Oct 25, 2012 Essex 3,370	confirm \| cancel 10/29/12 08:18 AM (13 years ago) Tree view for screens Is it possible for the website to have some kind of tree view for screens, a bit like how FrontPage used to be, if anyone's used it? So your home page is at the top, menus and pages linking straight from that are the next level down, and so on. Perhaps even a way of dragging them around so you can decide what goes in what menu and in what order? I'm wanting to have a lot of nested menus - i.e. the home page would have options 1, 2, 3, 4, and then when you go to page 1 there'd be a menu at the bottom taking you to pages a,b,c,d,e,f,g and each of those would have perhaps 3 or 4 child pages each, so a1,a2,a3,a4. So yes, grandad page with lots of children, perhaps about 12. Then each of those 12 children has 3 or 4 children of their own. I'm having enough trouble describing it - so it would be much easier to visualise in a tree. Can this be done?

If you klick on menu item 1 it opens up a new menu with new items... etc.. Comments Cant you just link from 1 menu to the next?

Well if you are self hosted you can do about anything you want, just need to code it or find someone that is able to do so. If you are not self hosted, it is probably not going to happen, unless you can get David to do it :-) Comments Ok, now I get it.

Perhaps it might be something David would like to do when he has one too... :) Comments I think good Ye Olde Pen and Paper will do me for the moment.
