It provides a module view that browses, searches and selects content items using the `explayouts_content_browser_core` backend, rendered entirely with legacy templates — no JavaScript build step required. This extension is an Exponential Legacy port inspired by `netgen/content-browser-ui` (the original React package); it replaces the React application with a template/module based picker because the legacy stack does not run the Symfony/React toolchain. It provides the following capabilities: - Content browsing UI - Use this feature to browse and drill down through the content tree from a simple, server-rendered module view. - Subtree search - Use this feature to search a subtree with multi-term matching, straight from the browser's search form. - Item picking - Use this feature to let editors select a content item and return it to any form or view via a redirect with the selection appended. - Pagination - Use this feature to page through large listings with ready-made next/previous pagination helpers. Features -------- [](#features) The following features are provided by the Exponential Layouts Content Browser UI extension: - A complete, self-contained browser module view: `/explayouts_content_browser_ui/browser/` lists the first 25 children of the given node (defaulting to node 2 when omitted). All content classes are shown; the view constructs its backend as `new expLayoutsContentBrowserCoreBackend( array(), array( 'folder' ) )`. - Search built in: the `Search` query parameter runs `expLayoutsContentBrowserCoreBackend::searchItems()` over the subtree (depth 10, up to 1000 nodes); every whitespace-separated term must match the node name, class identifier or class name. - Pagination built in: the `offset` query parameter combines with the fixed page size of 25, and the template receives ready-made `has_next` / `next_offset` / `has_previous` / `previous_offset` values. - A full picker workflow for other forms: open the browser with a `return_uri`, and when the editor selects an item (`action=select&selected_node_id=`) the view loads it through `expLayoutsContentBrowserCoreBackend::loadItem()` and redirects back to `return_uri` with `selected_node_id`, `selected_object_id` and `selected_name` appended as query parameters. - Inline selection without a redirect: when no `return_uri` is given, the template is rendered with `has_selection` set and `selected_item` holding the picked item's `toArray()` hash, so a confirmation can be rendered in place. - Access control through the standard role/policy system: the `browser`view is guarded by the module's `read` policy function. - A single, easily overridable template (`design/standard/templates/explayouts_content_browser_ui/browser.tpl`) that renders the item list, search form and pagination, and receives a documented set of variables (`items`, `total`, `location_node_id`, `search`, `offset`, `limit`, pagination helpers, `return_uri`, `has_selection`, `selected_item`). - No JavaScript build step, no Node toolchain, no asset pipeline — plain module + template code that works on any Exponential Legacy install.

Using Exponential Layouts Content Browser UI under the terms of the GNU GPL is free (as in freedom). For more information or questions please contact Requirements ------------ [](#requirements) The following requirements exist for using the Exponential Layouts Content Browser UI extension: Exponential version - Make sure you use Exponential 6 / Exponential Legacy. PHP version - Make sure you have PHP 8.1, 8.2, 8.3 or 8.4. Extension dependencies - `explayouts_content_browser` — provides `expLayoutsContentBrowserItem`. - `explayouts_content_browser_core` — provides `expLayoutsContentBrowserCoreBackend`, which the `browser` view uses. - Activate both before this extension. Installation ------------ [](#installation) Installation is the standard extension procedure: place the extension in `extension/explayouts_content_browser_ui`, activate it after its dependencies via `ActiveExtensions[]` (or `ActiveAccessExtensions[]` for a single siteaccess), regenerate autoloads, clear caches, and grant a role policy for module `explayouts_content_browser_ui`, function `read` (or `*`) to the roles that should use the picker. See [INSTALL.md](INSTALL.md) for the complete step-by-step installation instructions. Usage ----- [](#usage) This extension ships no PHP classes of its own; it wires the sibling extensions into a browsable UI: ComponentFilePurpose`explayouts_content_browser_ui/browser` module view`modules/explayouts_content_browser_ui/browser.php`Lists/searches children of a node, handles item selection and return redirectsModule definition`modules/explayouts_content_browser_ui/module.php`Declares the `browser` view with the `read` policy function and `LocationNodeID` parameterBrowser template`design/standard/templates/explayouts_content_browser_ui/browser.tpl`Renders the item list, search form and pagination`settings/module.ini.append.php`Registers the module (`ExtensionRepositories[]`, `ModuleList[]`)`settings/design.ini.append.php`Registers the design extension (`DesignExtensions[]`)Quick start: ``` /explayouts_content_browser_ui/browser/43 ``` lists the first 25 children of node 43. The supported query parameters are: ParameterPurpose`Search`Multi-term substring search within the subtree (via `searchItems()`)`offset`Pagination offset; the page size is fixed at 25`action=select`Select an item instead of browsing`selected_node_id`Node ID to select when `action=select``return_uri`URI to redirect back to after a selectionExamples: ``` /explayouts_content_browser_ui/browser/43?Search=report /explayouts_content_browser_ui/browser/43?offset=25 /explayouts_content_browser_ui/browser/43?action=select&selected_node_id=123&return_uri=/my/form ``` To use the browser as a picker for another form, open it with a `return_uri` pointing back to your form; after the editor picks an item the view redirects to `return_uri` with `selected_node_id`, `selected_object_id` and `selected_name` appended, which your receiving view reads from `eZHTTPTool`. The full usage guide in [doc/USAGE.md](doc/USAGE.md) covers the URLs and parameters in depth, the template variables, the picker and inline selection scenarios, and the three customization layers of this stack: the settings layer (the two INI appends and the configuration cascade), the template layer (overriding `browser.tpl` through the design cascade in your own design extension) and the PHP layer (subclassing the backend classes in the sibling extensions instead of editing the view).
