Predefined Document-Types

General

Predefined document types let you save controller/template combinations under a friendly name. Editors can then select a type when creating a document instead of manually configuring the controller and template in the document settings.

Example

To define document-type go to Experience & E-Commerce > Document-Types.

Let's suppose that you've created controller, action and template for a books listing.

Reference to the action: App\Controller\BookController::listAction
Reference to the template: templates/book/list.html.twig

To add a new document-type which renders the book listing template, you have to click on the Add button first and then fill out the newly created configuration row accordingly.

Available types:

• page, snippet, email - always available
• printcontainer, printpage - requires PimcoreWebToPrintBundle

After you have defined a type you can access it in the context menu or in the document settings:
