Neos CMS Ui plugin to quickly create a follow up content element while editing a page

This plugin allows defining other nodetypes as "next" nodetypes, which can be used to quickly create a follow-up content element while editing a page in the Neos CMS backend.

Installation

composer require shel/neos-next-node

Example configuration

'Neos.Demo:Content.Text':
  options:
    nextNodeTypes:
      'Neos.Demo:Content.Text': true
      'Neos.Demo:Content.Image': true

This would lead to the following additional buttons in the Neos CMS backend:

⚠️The default behaviour is to show the same nodetype as next nodetype. If you want to change this, you have to explicitly configure the nextNodeTypes option. This also means, that you only have to adjust this setting for a nodetype if you want a different behaviour than the default one.

Hotkeys

The plugin also registers hotkeys for quickly creating a follow-up content element:

• Ctrl + Enter
• Cmd + Enter (Mac)

Configuration options

Copy the following configuration into your Settings.yaml to adjust the plugin's behaviour:

Neos:
  Neos:
    Ui:
      frontendConfiguration:
        'Shel.Neos.Next.Node:ToolBar':
          # If no `nextNodeTypes` is configured for a node type, the current node type will be used as fallback.
          currentNodeTypeAsFallback: true
