Demo - How to add a toolbar action via ZMI

2. Add a new CMF Action Category called toolbar_top_actions or toolbar_bottom_actions
3. Within this category add a new CMF Action called help
4. Edit help
   • Title: Help
   • URL (Expression): string:${portal_url}/help

     • no-title - to hide the action title

   • Condition python:'/help' not in plone_context_state.object_url() See ContextState available methods

Getting started

Try volto-toolbar-actions with Docker

  git clone https://github.com/eea/volto-toolbar-actions.git
  cd volto-toolbar-actions
  make
  make start

Go to http://localhost:3000

make start now defaults to Volto 18. To run the same setup against Volto 17, use:

  VOLTO_VERSION=17 make
  VOLTO_VERSION=17 make start

Add volto-toolbar-actions to your Volto project

1. Make sure you have a Plone backend up-and-running at http://localhost:8080/Plone

   docker compose up backend

2. Start Volto frontend

• If you already have a volto project, just update package.json:

  "dependencies": {
      "@eeacms/volto-toolbar-actions": "*"
  }

  and volto.config.js:

  const addons = ['@eeacms/volto-toolbar-actions'];

• If not, create one with Cookieplone, as recommended by the official Plone documentation for Volto 18+:

  uvx cookieplone project
  cd project-title

1. Install or update dependencies, then start the project:

   make install

   For a Cookieplone project, start the backend and frontend in separate terminals:

   make backend-start
   make frontend-start

   For a legacy Volto 17 project, install the package with yarn and restart the frontend as usual.

2. Go to http://localhost:3000

3. Happy editing!
