Feature request / Plugin Request:  
I am about to upload 250 pages by hand into Radiant. My issue is on  
the page:  
/admin/pages. It seems that if I have a page with a child and a  
whole bunch of grand children, well, every time I save a grand child,  
it closes the entire family tree up. Then I have to open the primary  
page, open the child, and enter another grand child. This is a lot  
of clicks, and a little annoying. When you’re entering one page, no  
big deal. When your entering 300, in stead of a reasonable number of  
clicks to add the pages, it turns into three times the number of clicks.

Is there ANY way to easily keep the tree open to the area I saved  
from last? So I don’t have to open up the entire family tree each  
time I want to enter a new child, grand child, or great, great, great  
grandchild? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

-Mark

Mmm. The tree should remain open. What version are you using? Do you get  
the same result on the demo site ([http://demo.radiantcms.org](http://demo.radiantcms.org))?

The tree closes for me as well every time I do a save:

Stock rails 1.2.3 with safari 3.02 (beta)

Because of the safari beta and I’ve had to bump up Scriptaculous and  
prototype to more recent versions than what’s deployed with Rails in  
some applications. I haven’t done that with Radiant yet. I suppose  
I’ll try that.

I have used firefox 1.5, 2, 3, safari 2 and 3, and have version 0.6.2  
installed of radiant for 5 clients on two servers (plus local dev).  
I’ve used SVN and GEM. I have another friend/developer that has had  
the same issue on IE (which I refuse to use accept for when I’m  
testing the design of a client’s site 😉 ). The tree always closes  
when I’m working on a child/grandchild and hit save. Not bad if I’m  
done with that section, but normally, I’m wanting to have that level  
open for a while, especially when importing pages.

Changeset 477 ([http://dev.radiantcms.org/radiant/changeset/427](http://dev.radiantcms.org/radiant/changeset/427))  
should have fixed the collapsing-tree bug. Make sure you’re running  
the latest version of Radiant. If you need to, apply this patch:

Again, do you get the same result on the demo site?

Thanks Ryan. I updated SVN locally to the most recent revision,  
applied 477, 427, and 505. Restarted the server, emptied my browser  
cache, used Firfox 2.0, and Safari 3.0. Still have the same issue.  
As my friend Ara says, “But That’s Impossible!” Still, the tree  
closes up after I save a page. Arghhh. Ideas?

The online demo works perfectly. So is it an issue with Trunk? I  
did install all of the patches as described in the prior emails. Too  
strange.
