Globally access the page tree in the admin theme

[gmclelland]

Just came across this interesting video https://vimeo.com/86719782.  At 53 seconds into the video you can see how the Wagtail cms (https://wagtail.io/) admin theme is able to show their site's page tree just by hovering a global link.

Maybe that is something that can be done for Processwire?  Just a thought

The admin theme is already a module. Copy it in your site/modules/ folder and modify it to make it show whatever you want. Then go to your backend and select it as your admin theme. With the Admin Theme Reno (already in the core) from Renobird you can make things even more fancy.

Thanks @pwired, I really just wanted to share how that other cms is making their page tree available on every page in the admin in way that is quickly and easily accessible.  It looks like it could also provide a way to browse a large tree of pages when editing on a mobile phone.

Currently Processwire requires you to click on the pages link which requires a full page load.

Having the Pages Tree always available is a nice feature in modx and Pimcore.  I'm still very new to Processwire, so it might be a while before I can figure out how to do something like this.

Others may want take that design pattern and run with it.
