Child Me! improves Craft's CX (child-creating experience) by making a nifty "New child" element index attribute available to element indexes.
Adding the "New child" attribute to a structure section or category index renders a button, which works as a "shortcut" for creating new child elements nested under a particular parent – much faster than manually selecting the parent in the "Parent" field on element edit pages!
For structure sections with multiple entry types available, the Child Me! button opens a disclosure menu with shortcuts for creating child entries using these types.
This plugin requires Craft CMS 5.0+
Child Me! works by adding the "New child" element index attribute to a structure section or category index.
To add the attribute, click the "Customize sources" disclosure menu toggle below your element sources in the left-side panel, then select the appropriate section and finally check the "New child" attribute.
EVENT_DEFINE_ENTRY_TYPES
Child Me! triggers an event when creating entry type menus, giving plugins and modules a chance to modify the available entry types via the "New child" button, for sections with multiple entry types. Example:
\yii\base\Event::on(
\mmikkel\childme\ChildMe::class,
\mmikkel\childme\ChildMe::EVENT_DEFINE_ENTRY_TYPES,
static function (\mmikkel\childme\events\DefineEntryTypesEvent $event) {
// Only care about entries in the "Some Structure" section
if ($event->section !== 'someStructure') {
return;
}
// Make sure that the default entry type is not included
$event->entryTypes = \array_filter($event->entryTypes, function (EntryType $entryType) {
return $entryType->handle !== 'default';
});
}
