Edit Menu 

Each content element on the page displays an edit button when you hover over it.

Edit Button

Clicking this button opens the Edit Menu with various actions:

  • Edit Content Element - Open the content element in the backend editor
  • Edit page - Open the current page properties
  • Hide/Unhide - Toggle visibility of the content element
  • Info - Display content element information
  • Move - Reorder the content element
  • History - View the content element's history
  • New content after - Add a new content element after this one
  • Delete - Delete the content element (with confirmation dialog)
Edit Menu

Delete Confirmation 

New in version 2.3.0

Clicking Delete opens a confirmation dialog before the record is removed. The dialog shows the record title and identifier (e.g. My Element [tt_content:42]) so editors can verify they are deleting the correct element.

  • Escape, the close button, or clicking the backdrop cancels the action
  • Focus returns to the previously focused element after closing
  • On success, a notification is shown and the page reloads automatically

Requirements 

The Edit Menu requires content elements to have a "c-id" (Content Element ID) in their HTML output, e.g. id="c908".

This is automatically provided by the fluid_styled_content extension. For custom templates, ensure the wrapping element includes the content element UID:

<div id="c{data.uid}">
    ...
</div>
Copied!
