TOPIC: THE THROES
A new feature request for Textpattern?
22nd April 2009Having been doing some updates to articles in A Wanderer's Miscellany, an idea that makes life easier when working in Textpattern with old articles has come to mind. Currently, there is no way to navigate through pages in the administration area other than using the search or previous/next functionality. Thus, I have started thinking that being able to subset articles by section or category using dropdown menus would be a good way forward.
A search for a suitable plugin yielded nothing of immediate use (amazingly, no one has given it a go thus far); hence the thinking regarding a new feature request. Because there is a place on the Txp support forum for exactly this kind of thing, I am in the throes of plucking up the courage to go for it. Apparently, some code cutting of my own would grease the wheels for the progression of any such thing; a lack of confidence in that area could reduce my input to a bare feature request. While moving to an alternative platform might be an alternative proposition, I see little reason in doing so when what I have otherwise works well for what I want it to do. That Textpattern feature request might just come into being...
