Yes Anders, I know what you're talking about... 

I do remember Niels (altho he's been denying it on twitter) has been working on something alike, but I don't think it ever made it in into the core, nor has it been released as a standalone package.

Feel free to be the first to develop something similar...

Cheers,

Hi Anders,

If all you're trying to do is to output a Grid of nodes, here's a quick and simle way t oaccess nodes as a table using umbraco.presentation.nodeFactory.

GridView1.DataSource = Node.GetCurrent().ChildrenAsTable();
GridView1.DataBind();

HTH,

Yes thats a good method for it, however I think I need the tree to be silent also. Can one trap the tree expand event perhaps? Niels did you work on this subject before, any pointers?

Can you describe in more detail what you're trying to accomplish (from a UI standpoint)? 

Thanks,
Nik

I would like to turn the tree of at certain documenttypes and render the children below as a table or similar on the parent node. Becuase the tree will become very large, more than 60 children. The datatype for displaying the children is of small problem, as long as the tree can be silent, but my guess is that it will requier a modification to the core?

Bumping, Can the tree rendering be overriden without changes in the core.

HI Anders,

Take a look at example 4 of this WIKI I wrote You could check the count of children an then disable the rendering. What I don't know is how to insert a node that contains the url of the page with datatable you want to show when you click on the parent node. I have to check or maybe someone else knows the answer.

Cheers,

This looks like it might work, the nodes I dont want to dislay is of a certain document type so based on that I might be able to hide all pages of a certain doc type. Thanks for the pointer!

is working on a reply...
