that's definitely a 'bad' thing :-(
Why is that bad? A custom object management UI ('Postings' and 'Moderation' tabs) seems appropriate for Squishdot. I wouldn't want to manage postings from the standard management interface.
Why duplicate anyway? You writing a replacement? ;-)
No, I'm creating two different applications, an image archive and a book catalog. Both need to handle large numbers of items. The standard management interface does not scale to the number of objects involved from a usability perspective. Neither of my projects need objects to nest (as squishdot postings do) so I don't need to duplicate the tree interface, but instead I'll probably create a batching interface to allow relatively easy access to all contained objects. I'd like to know how to prevent the objects being listed in the 'Contents' tab, while still allowing other objects (like DTML methods) to be added there. Any clues? Michael Bernstein.
