Page Templates

Changed

• Licensed under the Craft License.
• First stable release.

Added

• Save a page as a reusable template from that page's own actions menu, carrying its content or just its layout
• Templates offered from Craft's existing New entry button, filtered to those that apply to the section and that the editor may use
• Templates reproduce custom field values, nested block structure and content to any depth, and relation and asset references — references point at the same targets, so nothing is duplicated
• Page Templates control-panel section for renaming, reordering, re-scoping and deleting templates
• Edit the content a template holds: the template opens as a page in Craft's own editor, and saving captures it back
• A warning on any page that is not a complete reproduction of its template, naming the block types that could not be placed and the fields that arrived empty
• Two permissions, both off by default: one to save templates, and Craft's own plugin-access permission to manage the list. Using a template needs neither
• Console commands page-templates/templates/capture, create-entry and list
• Every user-facing string translatable, including those in JavaScript

Notes

• Editing a template's content is refused when the page produced from it is not a complete copy, since saving it back would permanently lose whatever could not be reproduced. The refusal is shown when the page opens, not after the work is done
• Only one person can edit a given template's content at a time
• Snapshots record the format version they were written with. A version this build cannot read is refused rather than guessed at, and a corrupt snapshot is reported as unreadable while remaining listable and deletable
• Saving a template from a page authored by somebody else also requires Craft's savePeerEntries permission for that section
