Enables the creation/management of page prototypes from which Symphony Pages can be spawned.
This extension is heavily inspired by czheng's Page Templates extension and it is meant to be its successor.
- Upload the 'page_prototypes' folder in this archive to your Symphony 'extensions' folder.
- Go to System > Extensions, select "Page Prototypes", choose "Enable" from the with-selected menu, then click Apply.
Pages with the type prototype
can act as prototypes for other pages. The extension adds a select box on top of the pages editor where the prototype of a page can be selected. In the frontend pages automatically inherit all the properties and the template of the referenced prototype.
Prototypes can't have the special page types index
, 404
, 403
or maintenance
, because there can only exist one aof those pages in the system. Logged in developers can visit prototype pages in the front end, but normal visitors can't.
