So, Alex and I had a chat on IRC, it turned out the problem was that an url> method was lacking in the ER classes + a forgotten (app) call.
This has now been fixed by way of generating the url> methods in the menu.l file by way of (extend) and putting the (app) call in the menu declaration. The +Treeable bug has also been squashed. Now there are only two issues left: 1.) When editing for instance a +Page it is possible to choose a parent (+Ref +Link), but not when making a new one, this is something I would like to fix in the generated code so that it is there. 2.) When working with a class with an even number of relations the search + edit/new form looks OK mostly, but when there is an uneven number it gets hard to actually figure out which label belongs to which field. Can this somehow be fixed by manipulating the first argument to <grid>? At the moment I'm simply passing along for instance "------" for each field + the search and reset buttons. If I recall correctly it should be possible to put dots among the hyphens to change things? Ideally I would like to have a grid with label: <field> on each row and the buttons on the last row, is this possible? (I don't really care how much vertical space the GUI occupies) I have attached the fixed version of Pico Admin.
