Managing Page Hierarchies

With Liferay, you can organize pages into hierarchies to achieve the desired structure for your site. This can be done by directly adding child pages to an existing page or by reorganizing existing pages into parent/child relationships.

To view a site’s page hierarchy, open the Site Menu (Site Menu), expand Site Builder, and click Pages. This is the main reference for the organization of pages on that site. While Navigation Menus are customized to show some of the pages, this menu is always the primary reference for the pages on your site.

Open the Pages application to view and manage your pages hierarchy.

The page listed first is the first page users see when visiting your site.

You can drag and drop pages to reorganize them in the hierarchy. Pages can be nested up to four levels.

Drag and drop pages to create the desired hierarchy.

Create new pages in Site BuilderPages. See Adding a Page to a Site to learn how to add a page.

Using the Page Tree

Another way to manage a site’s page hierarchy is to use the Page Tree. Here, you can view and configure the pages in the current site.

To access the page tree,

  1. Click the Product Menu (Product Menu).

  2. Click Page Tree.

    The Page Tree function is at the top of the product menu.

  3. The left menu displays the site’s page hierarchy:

    View each Site's Page Tree.

  4. You can choose your navigation menus from this drop-down control.

  5. From here you can

    • Find pages in the tree by using the search bar (1).
    • Click on any page for a page preview.
    • Add pages or configure pages using the Add (Add) and Configure (Configure) buttons and the Actions menu (Actions Menu) next to each page’s name (2).
    • Modify the order of pages in the navigation menu by dragging and dropping the pages in the tree (3).

    You can add, preview, configure, or reorder pages from the Page Tree menu.
