Items Manager - ver: 1.4

[sal]

...I would want to separate pages and "items" to make it easier for the content editor to manage. Since these won't be pages but items on a page.

This is what I18N Special Pages, together with I18N Search is awesome for. You just customise the "search" tab of a special page type to customise the output of each item, then use

Code:

(% searchresults addtags=_special_offer %)

on a page to output your offers.

Also, you can use Custom Admin CSS plugin with some basic CSS to hide the special pages from Page Management too to keep clutter down. For example, if the parent's slug is "offers":

Code:

#tr-offers .dirtoggle { display:none; }
#tr-offers.open .dirtoggle { display:inline; }
