Cross-link content type settings from node add/edit form

Created on 26 February 2009, about 16 years ago
Updated 19 March 2025, about 1 month ago

Motivation

Some users go to the content section, rather than the structure section, looking for options to edit content types.

Proposed resolution

On the node/add page, add links to edit the content types as well, for users who have the right permissions. This provides another way of navigating to admin/structure/types/manage/[node-type]

Remaining tasks

Summary of API changes
Needs usability review; see #59

User interface changes

Adds links to admin/structure/types/manage/[node-type] for each node type on the node/add page

Related Issues

Original report by catch

Many users go to the node/add and node/edit forms looking for settings (submitted information, input formats). We should consider adding links there to the admin screens for those form elements when users have the relevant permissions.

It's likely this issue predates Contrib.social: some issue and comment data are missing.

    Is this something that's still desirable? We're close to 9 years without a comment here and IMO the screenshots in the IS don't provide very good UX.
