Display child pages as list outside of the tree nav

Hi Guys,

I may have posted this request before but as it seems it is not solved yet, I will reiterate it. If it's already solved, please forgive my omission and point me in the right direction.

We have a publishing project that will be based on articles. In the thousands to be specific. If I will add all these articles as pages under a generic "Articles" page, the tree navigation will become unusable. That's why I was thinking to ask for a different way of displaying child nodes, outside of the tree navigation. Something similar with the orld News module that solved this issue pretty decent.

I am sure it's not an easy fix. I was thinking of adding a "Display child as list" checkbox on the page or on the ItemType could be a solution for this.

Thank you,

Adrian

I think this was discussed as a feature for DW9. It's something another CMS (which should not be named :P ) already does, and I see the benefit.

Thank you Nuno. It looks like we are the only ones seeing some benefits of this functionality since we have also requested this a while ago without any support from other members or  DW team.

Maybe the other have not used the you-know-who-CMS?
