[wp-hackers] Hide pages from panels

[Paul Menard]

FWIW, I wrote a little plugin about 2 years ago to override the Pages output. Check out Pages-Children http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/pages-children/

The plugin was originally written when I was working on a very large site which had hundreds of pages and many may levels in the hierarchy. Got tired of trying to find the right page to edit I wrote Pages-Children. The plugin will basically output only a level of hierarchy at a time. So for example the top-level pages are shown. Those pages with children have a new hover link showing the children. When drilling down the hierarchy there is an added breadcrumb that lets you go up the chain as needed. 

One thing I like about this solution over tree views is you are not loading all the levels you don't need. Even if the tree view nodes are loaded via ajax. You still get a bunch of information indented on the screen you may not need. 

After I write the original release I expanded the logic to include any hierarchical post type as well as hierarchical taxonomies.

It's actually in a beta test stage and we hope to have our first site running it by the end of the year. (sorry if it's a bit off topic. It's also a way to say you're not alone with this problem :-))
