Nesting pages in the 'Manage Pages' view of Movable Type


On the Manage Pages screen in the admin area of Movable Type, is it possible to nest pages, or to achieve any kind of page hierarchy? Essentially I need to mirror the site structure.

I would also like to order pages, not by published date, but by a meaningful order - ie the order I need them to display on the website.


Solution

  • Yes, create "Folders" in Movable Type and then place the pages into folders.

    Be sure to place a page with the filename of index or an index template (or other template) in each folder so that when the folder is accessed without a file name, a page is displayed.

    I'm hoping that MT gets rid of the "Folders" feature and simply have a parent-child relationship between pages in the future.
