Subsections in Textpattern
One provocative omission from the excellent Textpattern CMS is subsections. I don’t know why it was omitted (probably just because it was out of scope when Dean Allen sat down to write TXP). Now that there’s a codebase, fitting in subsections is slightly tricky. There’s a need to adjust the way that URL rewriting works and there’s also a need to rework the section admin form. I could really do with having this sorted and I have started to scope it out. If somebody would like to sponsor the work let me know ’cos I haven’t got time to do any more for nothing.
Yes, I have investigated what’s out there. It is not good enough, I’m afraid: for one thing, it is susceptable to break with every minor point release. Something better is needed.
