Header Menu?

This discussion is related to the Basic Pages addon.

In the pages area, you can drag a page to indent underneath a parent page, kind of like categories.

This functionality makes it seem like it is a sub heading the menu. However, theres no way to save this configuration.

Is this correct, and am I doing something wrong?

    AFAIK, Basic Pages doesn't have a hierarchical sorting mechanism. I believe the indent highlighting is a byproduct of the plugin he (@ShadowDare) uses for the drag and drop functionality.

    It would be pretty cool to add this as a feature.

    Ahh, ok that makes more sense. For some reason I thought there was parenting. I think its because I've used VanillaCMS a bit too.

    The dragging feature was added recently to let users change the order of the pages in the menu. It uses the dragging script used for categories, but with hierarchical sorting disabled. It should save the order of pages once you've finished dragging one.

    I haven't added a drop-down menu feature because I'm unsure how it will work with the default and mobile themes, as well as other themes.

    How did you do that?

    @Shadowdare you can change a sortable so it it only drags in one axis.

    grep is your friend.

    I did that, but I forgot to check the dragging axis with the script version included in 2.0.18.8. There might be different behavior with 2.0.18.8 and 2.1+ because the scripts are different versions, so I'll take another look soon.

    Dragging should be less confusing with the recently released Basic Pages 1.8.1 when using Vanilla 2.0.18.8.
