TYPO3 Core

We really miss the resizable pagetree panel.
Why this feature has been removed?
And why is this targeted 9 LTS instead of 8?
Are there so hard technical problem to solve?

I think that one problem is that a draggable resize (like before) would be uncomfortable on a touch device...
Maybe it is an error from me putting it on V9, please change it if necessary.

It would be nice to configure the module bar width and the page tree width somehow with 8.x
Maybe by adding a user setting where an integer value defines the size or similar.
It can always be improved in 9.x then.

another suggestion could be:

max-width:800px;
min-width:300px;
width:20vw;

or something like that, to make it adaptable to the viewport width

There is an extension available on Github which allows to easily set the page tree width in the user settings for larger screens.

Thanks for the advice - we'll try this one as our customers are struggling a lot with the 300px limitations in the new TYPO3 8.

Its a good workaround with the ext cre_pagetreewidth mentioned above.
And PS.
The following is obsolete.
There is a new feature in
https://github.com/crealistiques/cre_pagetreewidth
With this all is flexible as in recent typo3-Versions.
I guess it would be a good idea,
to "reinvent" this flexible layout into the core of v8.7

~_~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
But just for the default backend-view.

The popup-dialog in editor for editing links is still having
a small and badly readable pagetree.
Its very nice and looks great, but it is a little clumpsy to use.

All versions of typo3 below v8.7 had a fully visible pagetree.
This times are gone for now.
This last one is responsive in reverse sense:
You have to minimize the browser-window with the dialog-box in it
to see a full width pagetree ;-((

The first time in typo3-history you have to choose:
Scrolling, scrolling, scrolling OR not seeing
your speaking, long filenames and pagenames.

But there is another problem, too:
Try to insert a record with "Browse for records"
Now you will get a very large window, not a dialog-box as in link-settings.

But this window is white and empty, with a tiny small left pagetree, too.
Now make the window narrow: The pagetree becomes wide, but the records
now are visible only below the long, long pagetree:
Again you have to scroll, scroll, scroll ...

And v8.7 is LTS ...

Try my new extension https://extensions.typo3.org/extension/pagetree_resizable/

Hi Wolfgang,

many thanks for the extension, it works great :)

However, it would be even better if it was already part of the core, maybe the extension could be the baseline for that?

I think it's more a bug than a feature. :) Because if the page tree has more then ~6 levels, it becomes quite impossible to select a page because you cannot read the page title anymore.

The Extension wazum/pagetree-resizable is currently not TYPO3 10.3 ready (which is not a problem!), but IMHO the correct functionality of the page tree must be implemented in the Core. Because the page tree is not useable out of the box in bigger instances .
