Hi everyone!

I’m looking for some functionality in .5.2. I’ve searched the mailing  
lists and documentation, but no dice. Any thoughts, opinions, patches  
on the following appreciated

- is there some kind of “find all” functionality? I need the \<r:find  
url="/"\> to recurse through children of children of children. If I’m  
understanding things correctly, \<r:find url="/"\> goes 1 level deep and  
that’s it.

- any way to move pages?

Todd M

Todd,

On your first point, look on the wiki or weblog for information about  
creating a sitemap. That has the recursive-ness that you’re looking  
for.

On your second point, there have been several different patches to  
handle re-parenting, but I don’t think the core team has accepted any of  
them. There’s definitely room for another, if you’re up to the  
challenge. Otherwise, you can do what I do: use script/console, find  
the page you want to move and its new parent page and do this:  
parent.children \<\< child.

Cheers,
