PageTable: Paginate contents

[alxndre]

Is there a way to paginate to the contents of a pagetable? I'm currently creating a page with a pagetable field that could possibly have hundreds of pages underneath. Has anybody done this? Thanks.

FieldtypeTable is currently the only fieldtype supporting the pagination feature, but really the question is why you need all that pages to be in a pagetable. Can't they simply be children? Lister / ListerPro can already handle the need to display pages with additional tabular information.

I wanted to display the child pages inside the page containing them, for simplicity, and there's possibly hundreds of them. But I'm planning to buy the ProFields later this week, and it's good to know that FieldtypeTable supports pagination! Lister looks like a better solution too. I just haven't had time to play with these modules yet. Thanks!

I agree that you'd be better off with ordinary child pages than PageTable pages if there will be hundreds of them. Remember that you can access a paginated list of child pages from within Page Edit by visiting the Children tab, that you can long-click the "Edit" link to edit the child page in a modal, and that you can add extra fields to appear in the page list besides the title (and that can be further enhanced with AdminOnSteroids). So nearly as good a PageTable field.
