README

Adds an Element Overview ModelAdmin to the SilverStripe CMS, listing all Elemental content blocks across all pages in a searchable, filterable table.

Features

• Lists all elements site-wide, sorted by type and title
• Filter by element title (partial match) and element type (dropdown)
• Filter state is persisted in the browser URL
• Links to the frontend page and the CMS backend page for each element
• CSV export with type, title, page name, frontend URL and backend URL
• Compatible with Fluent: only shows elements for the currently active locale
• Works without Fluent — all elements are shown when Fluent is not installed

Requirements

• SilverStripe Framework ^6
• SilverStripe Admin ^3
• DNADesign Silverstripe Elemental ^6

Installation

composer require atwx/silverstripe-element-overview

After installation, run a database build:

vendor/bin/sake db:build --flush

Usage

The module registers itself automatically. After installation, a new Element Overview entry appears in the CMS navigation (icon: layout blocks).

Columns

Search & Filter

• Element title — partial text search
• Type — dropdown to filter by element class

CSV Export

Click Export to CSV (top left) to download all currently filtered elements as a CSV file. The export includes:

• Type
• Element title
• Page (name)
• Page URL (frontend)
• Page Backend URL (CMS)

Compatibility Note

This module requires league/csv <9.27 due to a deprecation in GridFieldExportButton in SilverStripe Framework. Add the following to your project's composer.json if the export produces errors:

"conflict": {
    "league/csv": ">=9.27"
}
