Why Not Also Posts & Custom Post Types?

Hi Ciprian,

having the flyout also vor CPTs ans Posts as mentioned before, is the only missing function. I remember you once said consider working on that. Any news so far?

Best, Torsten
A thankfully user. ??

The latest version – 2.8.0 – brings the tree-view layout to all public post types. The plugin has been refactored to use a separate top level menu page, as having all trees in fly-outs would have been overkill.

Hi Ciprian,

the Flyout List by hovering above “Pages” in the left sidebar is gone now. Is this by accident or a decision you made? This was my No1 reason for your Plugin to get that fast overview without going to any extra page.

Yes, it is gone, because I needed to accommodate ALL post types, and having fly-outs like that would slow down the Dashboard considerably. It’s one click away in the AMTPV (CMS) menu item (top left).

Also, for pages with many post types, the left-side menu became too long to be manageable.

Oh ??
No Way to enable it as option per Post Type?
I Mostly have pages with <10 Pages and 1 or two CPTs also with just a few posts there.So SlowDown or unmanagable lists are mostly no problem.

I understand your request. The plugin is scheduled to get 2 more updates to add more options to the page list. Here is part of this list:

• Add caching for post types
• Remove jQuery dependency
• Remove jQueryUI dependency
• Improve dragging and dropping to work inside child elements
• Reconsider expand/collapse functionality in a better, non-intrusive way
• Add a “Trash” link to the post type pop-up

If you want to get back to the old version – 2.7.7 – you can find it here – https://getbutterfly.com/wordpress-plugins/admin-menu-tree-page-view/

I also wrote a detailed analysis of this update here – https://getbutterfly.com/admin-menu-tree-page-view-2-8-refactoring-update/

It’s not possible to get the fly-out back, as it was done in a hacky way.

Hi Ciprian,

thanks for your honest words and pointing to the blog post. Very good background information to understand your move.
I’ll give that new method a try. You can contact me as beta tester if needed. ??

No problem. I will definitely contact you, if I need more beta testers ??

I have released version 2.8.2, which brings back the old functionality. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Thanks.
There seems to be an error with version number, new version says it is 2.8.2.2 and shows that an updated is needed.

I’m not finally sure, is it now possible now to see CPT also with the classical Tree View?

It’s the WP.org repository, the latest version is 2.8.3, I had some small tweaks after the main release. Give it a day or clear the transient cache to receive the latest update.

Like I said in the previous messages, it’s not possible right now. But I will keep researching, and I might be able to add CPTs.
