Magnolia adminCentral treeview combines the hierarchy information with the content of a page, which is somewhat natural for web pages, but occasionally strange. Since we do not want to change that, it should be made clear in the menu points if an action acts on a page (the content) or a tree (the hierarchy). This becomes clearer when you look at the way it is now: "edit page" actually opens a page for editing, while "copy page" and "move page" act on the whole tree. Finally, why I noticed this: thre is no way to copy a single page unless it is a leaf page. This is very annoying if you do have to copy a single page, as there is also no way to multi-select the child pages in order toi get rid of them once you were forced to copy them. Suggestions:

If you would have the possibility to copy a single page without its child pages, what would you expect to be happening to those child pages ? |

You are right, if you talk about MOVING a page. But sometimes you just want to DUPLICATE a page. So copying just one page only makes sense. There are many situations where I copy just one page and indeed it would be nice if I would not have to copy the whole hierarchy. Not to mention that in some large hierarchies copying the page (with hierarchy) and then deleting the children takes a long time. Just my 2cts. |

GC said what I would have. Thats exactly the point - or think the other way - you need to restructure your content in such a way that the parent pages needs to be moved out of the way, but not the children. You copy the parent, and then are free to delete/change the content on the original page, or redirect to a child or whatever. If you can't copy the single parent page, this is awkward (since there is also no multi-select in adminCentral - hint hint |

Why not have "Copy Page inc. sub pages" and "Copy page" in the context menu. |

Given the thousands of other issues we have open that are more highly requested, we won't be able to address this issue in the foreseeable future. Instead we will focus on issues with a higher impact, and more votes. |
