I whipped up something quick to help de-clutter the main CP page for the Structure Add-On. It’s a simple accessory that will hide the children on the Structure page and provide a + button on hover to reveal children pages and a - button to hide them again. Helpful for sites with many pages in Structure.

Travis said that he wouldn’t be able to build this functionality into the Structure Plugin for a while because they are focusing on getting EE 2 compatibility completely solid first. Hopefully this can help in the mean time. Please note, currently you must refresh a page after dragging around elements to update them.

This is my first attempt at an Add-on of any kind (if you can call a simple accessory an Add-on). Let me know if this idea has already been done or if its actually somewhat decent. Thanks.

This is rad! We definitely intend to add this natively, but this is great in the meantime. Thanks for sharing!

will this work in ee 1.x or is it just for ee 2?

Since its an accessory, it will only work on ee 2. I don’t have experience with 1.x so I’m not sure what would be necessary. Its just some simple jquery if someone wanted to port it.

ah, should have noticed it was an accessory and not an extension. thanks.

Love the accessory…this helps with those long page structures. However, it would be nice if the expand/collapse +/- button displayed at all times. This would help to quickly identify which pages have children.

LOVE LOVE LOVE this!!!  Ahhhhhhwsome!  Thank you blendimc 😊

I agreed with this, so I modified the accessory to do it.

In EE/third_party/toggle_children directory, open the only file “acc.toggle_children.php” and replace

span.extras:first

span.page-title:first

This moves the +/- buttons to the far left of the row and shows all the time.

You also need to add the following styling code after \“child-show\” in lines 65, 73 and 78 to make the +/- buttons bigger.

style=\"font-size:20px;\"
