Does anyone have experience with a Radiant installation containing thousands (or even many hundreds) of pages? Before I jump in with both feet, I’m wondering if the tree for administering pages becomes a navigation problem with a large number of entries. My own experience has been that a breadcrumb navigation system is much more manageable as the number of pages increases beyond a hundred or so. My first application of Radiant is likely to be be for a blog. david r. ---

I’ve some sites setup with radiants, and albeit not as large as you mention, I can see how it could be a pain managing hundreds of rows with the current admin interface. I too think a breadcrumb management interface could double the existing one, and make more “direct” the access to large sections (islands) of pages. In my experience, re-parenting and moving around pages and snippets, and especially copying/cloning pages/snippets also may be an issue. For the time being you can export the site content, modify it with an editor, and then re-import it. This could be useful to duplicate large sections of the site or other page maintenance tasks. –M ---

And making that page admin more flexible for that could lead to subpages being used for…comments. - Breadcrumb page management - “post comment” behavior that receives the action of the commentable page’s form and creates a new subpage for that comment. Root Commentable Page - comments (special subpage to parent all the comments) — comment 1 — comment 2 — etc. - regular subpage Other page – Ryan P.
