Add page layout

Permalink
I have a page type that has about 20 attributes. Is there a way I can redesign the layout of the attributes in the box you get when you add a page? And do that only for the specific page type selected?

thanks

Here is the way I would do it. When you are creating pages that have such a strict amounts of attributes you add them through the dashboard.

There is a great starting example in the marketplace

Let me know if you have more questions as I have expanded this example a few times

These attributes are for a page list. When the client is on the page list page and clicks to add a new page, I would like to present that add page dialog in a different layout, in more of a table fashion.

I have never tried that addition, but it sounds cool.
In the mean time you van retrofit the above example as all it really does is create pages in a specific location. So I think it accomplishes what you want... Maybe

Maybe you can create a block that will save this data to the attributes. The tricky part is to train the client to add the custom block.

Attached is a package for organizing sets.

you can group your attributes into a set and manage different set names...and then in your page, just call in the set. they are re-orderable in the dashboard after designating them as a "set"

Hi, arranging page attributes came up again today and I tried your package with 5.4.1, the first time I went into Sets I saw a screen with add and edit links, when I tried to add I got an error:

Fatal error: Class 'CollectionAttributeKey' not found in /home/weblicatingnet/public_html/sandbox/packages/attributesets/single_pages/dashboard/pages/sets/add/view.php on line 7
