Introduction
What does it do?
This extension provides an edit menu for editors within the frontend regarding content elements and pages.
The extension has been developed to provide a simple and lightweight solution to easily start the editing of content elements from the frontend and thus reduce the gap between frontend and backend. Therefore a simple javascript is injected into the frontend, which generates action links to the TYPO3 backend with the corresponding edit views.
Features
- Edit Menu - Quick access to edit, hide, delete, and move content elements
- Toolbar - Page-level actions and toggle for frontend editing
- Site Settings - Per-site configuration via YAML
- PSR-14 Events - Customize menus with custom actions
- Data ViewHelper - Add edit links for related records (e.g., news items)
- Dark/Light Mode - Automatic or manual color scheme selection
- Configurable Position - 12 toolbar positions available
- Save & Close - Quick return to frontend after editing
- Contextual Editing Sidebar (experimental) - Edit content directly in a sidebar panel without leaving the frontend (TYPO3 v14.2+)
New in version 2.2.0
Contextual Editing Sidebar — A new experimental feature that allows editors
to edit content elements and page properties in a sidebar panel directly in the
frontend. Leverages TYPO3 v14.2's record_edit_contextual route.
See Contextual Editing (Sidebar) for details.
Note
This is not a further development of the "original" extension frontend_editing. It is similar in some ways to the realisation of the feedit extension. This extension is an independent implementation with a different approach. See Delineation for a detailed comparison with related extensions like visual_editor and content_preview.
