Pages At Bottom

Pages At Bottom

Keeps selected pages at the bottom of their siblings.

• A "bottom page" will stay at the bottom even if it is drag-sorted to a different location or another page is drag-sorted below it (after Page List is refreshed the bottom page will still be at the bottom).

• Newly added sibling pages will not appear below a bottom page.

• The module also prevents the API methods $pages->sort() and $pages->insertAfter() from affecting the position of bottom pages.

Note: the module only works when the sort setting for children on the parent page/template is "Manual drag-n-drop".

Why?

Because you want some pages to always be at the bottom of their siblings for one reason or another. And someone requested it. ?

Usage

Install the Pages At Bottom module.

Select one or more pages to keep at the bottom of their siblings. If you select more than one bottom page per parent then their sort order in the page list will be the same as the sort order in the module config.

@Robin S You made my day! ?

v0.1.1 released: if you select more than one bottom page per parent then their sort order in the page list will be the same as the sort order in the module config.

Never commented on how this makes every default install I have, love it.

Just installed it. Really simple. Really useful. Thx a lot! ?

@Robin S this still makes an appearance on every install I have. Is there any way to extend the module so that it adds options for pages at top?

The settings are made on the module config page and that means they are only accessible to superusers. When putting pages at the bottom this is usually for "admin helper" purposes that a superuser would set up, but I would think that forcing pages to the top is more a content management function that needs to be manageable by non-superusers.

It might be something that is better handled with a hook or just a Page Reference field. Can you describe the use case where you want pages kept at the top? Then I can consider it or suggest alternative ways of achieving it.
