Page List Auto Expand

Page List Auto Expand

Automatically expands the next adjacent page when moving a page in Page List.

Usage

As you are moving a page in Page List, if you position the yellow move placeholder above a Page List item for a configurable period of time (default is 1000 milliseconds) then that item will expand, allowing the moving page to be dropped as child page.

Configuration

In the module config you can set the delay before the Page List item adjacent to the move placeholder will be automatically expanded.

Restricting the module to certain roles

If you want to restrict the module functionality to only certain roles then create a new permission named page-list-auto-expand. If that permission exists then a user's role must have that permission or the module will not have an effect in Page List.

Thanks, hope this module gets included in the PW-core.

This is one of the rare things that are not instantly intuitive to I guess 99% of my clients!

Have you considered adding a PR @Robin S ? Imho that's really an essential feature, thx for creating and sharing it! Just added it to RockMigrations default profile ?

The ProcessPageList.js is pretty complex and there are things in it I don't understand. I had to do some some rather hacky stuff to get the module working, but the stakes are lower in a module because each person can decide if they want the functionality and are willing to install a beta module to get it. Whereas if I make changes to the core in a PR it might break something for everyone. So I'll wait a while to see if any issues crop up before considering a PR.

I'd wanted this for quite awhile but the thought never crossed my mind to create a module for it. An excellent quality-of-life improvement via this module - thank you!
