Skip to content

A content author can easily add more content that belongs in the section they are currently viewing

User story

As a content author (including site editors or administrators),
when I am viewing a section of the site (such as Actions)
I want to see a clear link to add content that belongs in that section (so an Action) so that I can add appropriate content quickly.

A content editor or any person with permission to create content has a link to create that type of content from the relevant listing page: Blog posts from the /blogs page, Resources from the /resources section, an Article from the /articles listing, etc.

Background

An action link to take relevant actions is something people are rightly expecting in software more and more. It's also one of the niceties that Drupal distributions — including Open Outreach — have historically been able to provide.

Proposed solution

Making this as generic as possible would be ideal. I guess we're just adding an action link in a routing YAML file, so as long as we document the practice of adding action links in standard drutopia_example.links.action.yml files and styling it appropriately, we're good to go.
