Readme

Quick Start

Go to the backoffice
Click Settings
Click Organise
Select the types you wish to organise
Click submit and confirm
Refresh your page and enjoy a cleaner backoffice ✨

Configuration

Add the following to your appsettings.json file

"BackOfficeOrganiser": {
    "DataTypes": {
      "InternalFolderName": "Internal",
      "ThirdPartyFolderName": "Third Party",
      "CustomFolderName": "Custom"
    }
  }

Extending

You can implement your own Organise Action, a method that determines where a type should be moved to. Implement the following interfaces:

Document Types => IContentTypeOrganiseAction
Media Types => IMediaTypeOrganiseAction
Member Types => IMemberTypeOrganiseAction
Data Types => IDataTypeOrganiseAction

Example

using jcdcdev.Umbraco.Core.Extensions;
using Umbraco.Cms.Core.Models;
using Umbraco.Cms.Core.Services;

namespace Umbraco.Community.BackOfficeOrganiser.Organisers.ContentTypes;

public class ExampleContentTypeOrganiseAction : IContentTypeOrganiseAction
{
    // Handle all but container types (Folders)
    public bool CanMove(IContentType contentType, IContentTypeService contentTypeService) => !contentType.IsContainer;

    public void Move(IContentType contentType, IContentTypeService contentTypeService)
    {
        var folderId = -1;
        var folderName = string.Empty;
        var isComposition = contentTypeService.GetComposedOf(contentType.Id).Any();

        if (contentType.AllowedTemplates?.Any() ?? false)
        {
            folderName = "Pages";
        }
        else if (isComposition)
        {
            folderName = "Compositions";
        }
        else if (contentType.IsElement)
        {
            folderName = "Element Types";
        }

        if (!folderName.IsNullOrWhiteSpace())
        {
            folderId = contentTypeService.GetOrCreateFolder(folderName).Id;
        }

        contentTypeService.Move(contentType, folderId);
    }
}

public class Composer : IComposer
{
    public void Compose(IUmbracoBuilder builder)
    {
        // Make sure you register your action BEFORE the default!
        builder.ContentTypeOrganiseActions().Insert<ExampleContentTypeOrganiseAction>();
    }
}
