[TYPO3-workspace] Why is it zoo complicated???

[Falk Kühnel]

Hi!

I am still wondering, why the workspace records are handled soooo complicated.

First of all, why does a moved or created record not sit right in the correct position of the tree, where it belongs?
I still dont understand, why these placeholders are necessary. Could someone please explain?

A moved page gets a copy of itself with a new pid and the pid set to -1 and a state of 4.
This one holds the page info.
Then there is a placeholder, with another uid and pid of the new parent page and a move_id of the original uid.

Whats the reason not to let the page have a proper pid with its actual parent id, but use -1 instead???
Makes it way too complicated to get the parent page, or try to build a rootline.

Please help me out here.

Best regards
Falk Kühnel
