How to avoid Content Collection inside a "Content collection"-kind of nodetype

Hey :slight_smile:

History

I created a Content Ribbon for a project. This Content Ribbon is meant as a full width element, you can give padding, background color etc., and then fill with content. Meaning, that it’s basically a content collection it self.

This is how it looks in the Node Structure

The question being

Is it possible to have the Content Ribbon being the collection itself, to avoid the extra level?

Extra test info

For the record, I tried with this NodeTypes configuration

  superTypes:
    'Neos.Neos:Content': true
    'Neos.Neos:ContentCollection': true

Which caused the element trying to be inserted inside, was placed as the element after the Content Ribbon

I do it similarly. I’m also interested in the answer.

Hi, this is a very common topic lately.

I don’t know if you have seen my blogpost regarding that: https://mind-the-seb.de/blog/preventing-deep-content-nesting-in-neos-cms

Because I get a lot of feedback I’m also integrating more improvements to the Neos UI, to make this feature work even better. So f.e. with Neos 5.2 you will be able to freely choose where new content is inserted. Until then you can make it work mostly fine.

See https://github.com/neos/neos-ui/pull/2609 for reference.
