Orphan node handling for Neos CMS
=================================

[](#orphan-node-handling-for-neos-cms)

This package provides a backend module to handle orphan nodes in Neos CMS 8.3 & 8.4.

⚠️ This package requires at least Neos 8.3.16 which contains a necessary patch so the module can return relevant status codes for HTMX to consume.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Run the following command in your Neos project:

```
composer require shel/neos-orphanage
```

Or add the package as dependency to your site-package.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

You can access the orphanage module in the Neos backend under the "Management" section.

Features:

- Filter orphan nodes by node type
- Delete orphan nodes
- Delete all orphan nodes of a specific type
- Adopt orphan nodes to a specific page (see below)

### Adopting nodes

[](#adopting-nodes)

To adopt orphan nodes you will first need to allow the new document type `Shel.Neos.Orphanage:Document.Orphanage` to be created via constraints. F.e. on your homepage node.

Afterwards, orphan nodes can be adopted an will automatically be moved to the new page.
