Table of all sub-pages

Is there a way to create a table of all the sub-pages?

My list of sub-pages is getting too long to scroll up and down. Plus, I’d like to add more data to each of the sub-page (e.g. publish date, etc.) to help me keep things organized.

Hi @Lynette

No, it is not possible to do that automatically in native Coda. However, @Scott_Collier-Weir 's Doc Explorer pack will help you get that done.

On the other hand - have you considered using canvas columns in a table? That gives you a lot more flexibility in managing those pages. You can set up version management, filter the list of pages, use the modified property to see the latest change, etc.

Thanks for your quick response on Christmas Eve not withstanding :smiley:. I did find Scott’s Doc Explorer but I guess I’m still confused how to use it because it errors out each time. There’s a bit of a learning curve. I guess I’ll have to set aside time for that.

Sadly, the Canvas feature came later, after I created all those pages when I started Coda years ago. I was hoping for an easier way to do this. Dreading all the copy pasting. Thanks again!

@Scott_Collier-Weir 's contact info is in the pack details. I am sure he would be willing to assist.

UPD: Irrelevant answer :crazy_face:.

Hi @Lynette ! Unfortunately, there isn’t a native way to achieve a more convenient layout for subtables in Coda. I often face the issue of subtables in project cards becoming too large and taking up too much space.

One solution could be adding a feature to show/hide the subtable. This means we can control the visibility of rows in a subtable by pressing a specific button. However, it’s important to keep in mind that this introduces the obligation to implement this feature in a way that doesn’t affect the processing of data that might potentially reference the rows in the subtable.

This can be addressed within a formula or by simply creating a separate property that operates independently. For example, the progress bar in my case is implemented in such a way that it works regardless of whether the rows are hidden or not. You can download this doc and see how a similar solution is implemented. :blush:

I believe she was referring to sub-pages, not sub-tables

Oops! Looks like my holiday spirit kicked in a little too hard :grin: I’ll leave it here, just in case someone finds it useful!

That’s ok Tamerlan! I might use it sometime in the future. I didn’t even know we can have sub-tables.
