Adds frontend editing capability

Composer Install
----------------

[](#composer-install)

```
composer require symbiote/silverstripe-frontend-authoring:~1.0

```

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- SilverStripe 4.1+

Documentation
-------------

[](#documentation)

Enable the module by adding the following config to your project

```
---
Name: authoring_configuration
---
PageController:
  extensions:
    - Symbiote\FrontendEditing\FrontendAuthoringController

```

After enabling the module, trigger frontend editing by appending `/edit?stage=Stage` to the current URL.

In your page class, ensure you have a `getFrontEndFields` method declared that returns fields appropriate for editing your content.

When editing, you can use the following shortcuts;

- Page creation - enter `[Page Title](my-custom-slug)`, or simplified as `[Page Title]()` for the slug to be generated

### Configuration

[](#configuration)

You can set the following properties

- page\_create\_types: The type of the page to create when adding a page using the  syntax. The key is the 'current' page, the value the page type to create
- page\_create\_parent\_field: The field to use of the 'current' page for newly created pages' "parent". Defaults to ID

```
MyController:
  page_create_types:
    Symbiote\Page\NewsHolder: Symbiote\Page\NewsPage
  page_create_parent_field:
    Symbiote\Page\MyPage: ParentID

```

If your editing save process requires a page reload after saving (say, you modify the content via the page edit) then output the X-Authoring-Reload header with a value of 1

```
Controller::has_curr() ? Controller::curr()->getResponse()->addHeader('X-Authoring-Reload', 1) : false;

```
