You misunderstand the point of your own plugin

  • I understand your stated reasons for taking away the flyout, but – frankly -you’re wrong.

    What you’re doing now should be a different plugin. What I wanted was the flyout, that was the whole point.

    I understood the weaknesses, and how it didn’t integrate with other admin plugins – I chose to use yours instead of theirs for the flyout. Taking it away removes the point of the plugin entirely.

    Thanks for your time on this over the years.

    Don’t give up on it yet. Like I already replied to one of the users, I tried loading the tree view into a really nice modal, but I lost the ability to search and to hover to Add/Edit pages.

    Maybe, at some point in the future, I will move all jQuery code to vanilla JavaScript and use event delegation, and then I will have ALL pages and custom post types available on hover, in a fly-out menu.

    I don’t have a timeline for this, but it should be within a 2-month period.

    Okay, I’ll stick it out for a bit.

    Again, I’m grateful for what you’ve made and how useful it has been for so long.

    I would like to +1 brettgoodrich’s comment. The admin flyout was the ENTIRE POINT of this plugin. (That and it was also really handy for quickly adding pages). This recent update has totally ruined the plugin for me, and I was about to uninstall from my 100+ websites that I manage. After reading this thread and your promise of a fix, I will also stick it out for a bit, but this recent update really did ruin the plugin. There are multiple other plugins that show a page tree/sitemap upon clicking. The thing that made yours unique and awesome was that it was right there all the time without having to click and leave the current page. PLEASE FIX.

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