I am sorry to say, but the pages are still the child you never have loved.
From my point of view there are a some faults in the concept and this is also the reason why really less people use them (for more than some infos), i guess.
1. With some small changes in source and template you could have a real menu and not this strange jumping from page_node with siblings, children and one parent. The menu should be a static thing looking always the same and we open only these subs that are needed. Just like it is everywhere else in RM for example.
2. There is still no editor at the frontend and also no attachments.
Why not? I am shure you can fix this in a short time and increase the love for these functions a lot.
We try so many differerent ways to build something here, but a lot of things would not be needed with the pages as a clear cms.
All these not really finished add-ons like FAQ, thread portals and others are just a try to substitute the one strong thing missing here.
With pages, a good menu, the correct breadcrump or none and some small helpers you dont need the help pages, the faq, the thread portals and all the other half solutions.
Please take a long weekend and finish this part of your wonderful software.
Together with the callbacks this is a really strong tool and could be the solution for so many things from startpage, cms, FAQ, help pages, pages with coded information like lists for everything you could select from the mysql and also the frame for many addons where you dont need to build extra pages, when you just use a XF page and a callback to have functions inside that frame/page.
