This did not only clutter the interface when using > 10 paragraphs, the form itself would regularly become too large and break any decent PHP memory setting on submitting/saving. This module provides a separate tab for its content, instead of mixing it in with the node edit form through inline entity forms or similar solutions. - **Frontend performance improvements**: The *paragraphs* of an entity are loaded separately from the standard entity data, which solves memory issues when displaying a lot of entities on a page. - **UI improvements**: Features like cloning/duplication of paragraphs as well as drag and drop sorting of paragraphs become easier when not integrated in the default entity edit form. - **More flexibility**: This module allows multiple lists of paragraphs (*containers*) to be attached to entities, where one can limit the available entity types and bundles on a per-container basis. This allows for e.g. a *Content* tab and a *Program* tab for activity/event content types. Installation ------------ [](#installation) This package requires PHP 8.1 and Drupal 10.0 or higher. It can be installed using Composer: ``` composer require wieni/wmcontent ``` How does it work? ----------------- [](#how-does-it-work) ### Terminology [](#terminology) - A **container** connects hosts of a certain type to children of a certain type. - A **host** is an entity with containers, e.g. a node with a paragraph container. A host can have multiple children per container. - A **child** is an entity attached to a host through a container, e.g. a paragraph. Every entity can only be attached to a single container. Children and hosts can be entities of any type with a canonical route, implementing `Drupal\Core\Entity\ContentEntityTypeInterface`. When updating a child entity, the changed time of the host entity is updated as well. ### Get started [](#get-started) Before you begin, make sure your user role has the `administer wmcontent` permission. After that, you can get started by creating a new container. You can do this by going to `/admin/config/wmcontent/containers` or by following the *Structure* > *WmContent* > *WmContent Containers* menu link. After creating the container, go to the (edit) page of a possible host entity. A new tab should have appeared with the name of the container you just created. Clicking that link brings you to the master form, where you can add children to and edit/delete/reorder children from this host. ### Displaying children [](#displaying-children) If you use Display Suite to build your pages, you can use the *WmContent: Content blocks* field to display the content of the children entities on a host. You can change the way wmcontent containers are rendered by overriding the `wmcontent` theme implementation. If you build your pages manually using Twig templates, you can load the children of a host using `WmContentManagerInterface::getContent`.
