better view for pages list

[OffLine911]

Hello and thank you for this amazing work, i want to ask you if we can we have better view for pages list because the tree is good for small sites only and we need something that are more easy and modern and can handle big sites

It reslulted into new feature

You can use subtree: true in page scheme to avoid listing all children on the main page tree (read doc here https://getformwork.org/documentation/page-schemes/ )

For instance, this is how I setup the blog example

blog scheme:
children:
templates: [post]
reverse: true
orderable: false
subtree: true

post scheme:
options:
default: false
children: false
num: date
imagePreviewField: coverImage

okay i add new view to pages list called cards here is some photo for it:

what do you thinks

[sgirard84]

Indeed, I had the same thinking for my photography portfolio website.

I would add an option on the parent scheme, to enable this view. Something like
subtree: true
subtreeGridDisplay: true

@OffLine911 thank you for this exploration!
I am a bit too used to the tree view I actually didn't think to alternatives.
I'd still prefer a hierarchy for large sites (I've tried with ~150 pages), while with cards I'd need more clicks.
Personal preference apart it would be a nice to have as an alternative view (like we do with files) users can toggle.

Would you like to propose a pull request targeted to this specific feature? It could be released with Formwork 2.4 (I'm working on plugins and other enhancements under the hood for 2.3).

I'm open to discussing the other tweaks you are exploring for the overall interface. I'd treat them separately and component by component and would appreciate community feedback.

I'm converting the issue to discussion, it's more appropriate for this type of threads.
