My Thoughts on ExpressionEngine 2.0

Posted on 30. Dec, 2008 by Jack in ExpressionEngine

ExpressionEngine 2.0 is coming soon, I can feel it! With the latest post it seems there are putting the finishing touches on. I hope the module they’re completely re-working is Pages. I think it’s a fantastic solution for static content — but right now it’s VERY limited. If it could do multi-level navigation…well let’s just say I’d be the happiest guy in the world. Right now I can’t seem to get a standard down for it. I’ve tried Structure — not a bad module but has it’s limitations (every single entry is controlled by Structure in one giant nav), Pages Nested Menu Plugin – not bad either but a little client unfriendly and also has its limitations (similar).

I’ve considered going to the categories technique but that presents its own set of issues and challenges. We’ve considered developing our own module for this very thing but I’m holding out for EE 2.0.
