Wordpress as CMS - File Management
Published September 15th, 2006 in Blog, Wordpress, CMS Tags: CMS, Wordpress.Things have gotten a bit busy around here as of late, but I’m still working on building a more efficient interface for managing content. I have eschewed Wordpress’ default single-column interface for a more “explorer-like” two-pane file manager. The left pane will list the hierarchy of Sections. When a section is selected in the left pane, the posts in that section will be displayed in the right pane. I think this works much better than paginating the listing of posts independently for each section, as that can get quite messy real quick-like.
Ultimately, I would like to integrate drag/drop functionality to for moving files from one section to another. However, to keep things simple initially, it’s simply going to be form-based
- select the posts
- select the section to move the posts to
- click submit
I’ll post an screenshot of the interface once I get it working.
I’ve just read all your posts and I hope you are still working on it, because it sounds too good to be true
Looking forward to trying it out one day
Hopefully it’ll be ready to release soon. I want to make it as simple to implement as possible. This needs to be pretty much set in stone before I’ll release anything because I don’t want to have to change things up on users later on down the road.
I’m planning on posting a report on the plugin’s progress fairly soon (1-2 weeks).
