Sections in collapsed tree or accordion

When you have multiple sections on your website then it is difficult to oversee the total of sections in the txp admin sections screen.
It would be nice to have the existing sections collapsed in a tree or accordion with the default section open?

Re: Sections in collapsed tree or accordion

Their is actually a plugin that does this, do a search on Textpattern.org for Accordion Sections!

Also in TXP 4.1 the sections are laid out like Articles in a line, so you have lots more space, but that’s a few years away apparently, soooo I’d stick with the plugin for now, unless your wanting to edit the admin files, but means updating would be a pain in the arse.

@Driz thanks didn’t know that!
But I figured it would be a nice addition for a future version of txp.

The plugin can be found here and I am moving this topic to the “How do I…” forum:)

Re: Sections in collapsed tree or accordion

@colak Thanx for mentioning the plugin! It’s not about how to get the sections in accordion or tree, it was a feature suggestion for future versions of TXP.

I think (but don’t quote me) that instead of an accordion-style approach, there are plans to bring the Sections tab more in line with the other tabs (e.g. Articles list, Admin—>Users, etc). Sure I read that somewhere but can’t find the link now, so maybe I was dreaming.
