ElementsInTree: Bringing Content Elements into the Manager Tree

The manager tree is one of the most important orientation tools in Evolution CMS, so it is natural that developers wanted it to show more than just documents. ElementsInTree explored that idea by hooking into tree-render events and extending what editors could see directly in the manager.

Core Events

  • OnManagerTreePrerender
  • OnManagerTreeRender

Those hooks make it possible to change how the tree is prepared and displayed, which opens the door to more contextual editor workflows.

Why It Matters

  • faster navigation for large projects
  • better visibility into supporting elements
  • a manager experience that feels closer to the real project structure

This is a good ecosystem example because it changes how people work with Evolution CMS every day, not just what the frontend renders.
