silverstripe-page-status

Traffic light completion status for SilverStripe CMS pages. Gives editors a quick overview of which pages still need attention.

Requirements

• SilverStripe CMS ^6
• lekoala/silverstripe-cms-actions

Installation

composer require moritzsauer/silverstripe-page-status

Then run dev/build?flush=1.

What it does

Each page gets a PageStatus field with three states:

Key	Default label	Meaning
created	Created	Page exists, no content yet
progress	In Progress	Being filled, still incomplete
done	Done	Fully maintained

Where the status is visible and editable:

• SiteTree — small coloured dot next to every page title (hover for tooltip)
• Page edit form — dropdown in the action toolbar at the bottom
• Batch actions — set status on multiple pages at once via the tree's multi-select
• Reports — "Pflegestatus der Seiten" lists all pages filterable by status

Status changes create a new draft version but do not publish the page.

Configuration

Override statuses, colours and default in your project's YAML:

MoritzSauer\PageStatus\Service\StatusRegistry:
  default_status: created
  statuses:
    created:
      color: '#dc3545'
      text_color: '#ffffff'
      sort: 10
    progress:
      color: '#ffc107'
      text_color: '#212529'
      sort: 20
    done:
      color: '#28a745'
      text_color: '#ffffff'
      sort: 30

Override labels in your project's lang/de.yml:

de:
  MoritzSauer\PageStatus:
    STATUS_created: 'Mein Label'

Adding a custom status key requires only two steps:

1. Add the key to the YAML config above
2. Add the lang keys (STATUS_<key> and STATUS_<key>_DESC) — label falls back to the key name if omitted

The page-edit action button is registered automatically via allMethodNames(). For a matching batch action, add a subclass of AbstractSetPageStatusBatchAction and register it in _config.php.
