    Organising pages

    Hi all,

    Umbraco is working great for me and the company. One concern I have is the amount of content the site will have under each folder as the site gets bigger and bigger. This won't cause any technical errors but may cause a little frustration with the editors of the site navigating through each directory.

    Is there any add on that can organise all these files in a more user friendly manor as opposed to a folder then a list.

    Thank

    Are you meaning in the content section? If so, you can create different doc types in the same structure as your wbesite and thus organize items in the same way that your website users will explore the website which I am guessing is not large amounts of pages under one folder.. If you mean in the media section, you can create folders within other folders in order to keep it organized.

    Hi,

    sorry I should have explained it better. My structure looks like the following:

    Content >> Parent Directory >> Child Directory >> Articles

    In the child directorty it will hold a large amount of articles as the site will have new content being added every day. There are different types of pages set up but at the end of the day it just looks like a huge list.

    Is there any way to neaten this up for the users?

    Thanks

    I would recommend organising your articles even further into what makes the most logical sense, whether that is categories or that is dates. So, for example:

    Content >> Parent Directory >> Child Directory >> Articles >> Year >> Month >> Article

    or 

    Content >> Parent Directory >> Child Directory >> Articles >> Category >> Article

    Then those folders (year, month, or category) have the same template of articles which is to find all the doc types of type 'Article' where exist below it and show that introduction info on it.
