Rebirth your orphaned nodes

This package can help you to move orphaned node in the Neos Content Repository., _(*1)

Warning: Working with broken / orphaned nodes can be hard, please backup your data before using this package., _(*2)

Currently this package supports only document nodes restoration. That means you can only restore documents including their content (and further children), but not only content that has been orphaned., _(*3)

How to use ?

Optional: For each site where you want to restore orphaned nodes, you can create a "Trash" node. This can be used as the automatically detected target for document node restoration.
Go to the CLI and run the restore command.

CLI commands

List the current orphaned document nodes

flow rebirth:list

List the current orphaned nodes for a specific type

flow rebirth:list --type Neos.Neos:Document

Restore everything under the "Trash" node of the current site

flow rebirth:restore

Note: if you have no Trash node, this will fail with the message Missing restoration target for the current node. Either create a Trash node or specify the target node using --target., _(*4)

Restore everything under the "Trash" node of the current site, only for the given type

flow rebirth:restore --type Neos.Neos:Document

Restore everything under the given target node

flow rebirth:restore --target f34f834b-c36b-43eb-a580-f0e2f168b241

Prune all orphaned document nodes

flow rebirth:prune

Prune all orphaned document nodes for a specific type

flow rebirth:prune --type Neos.Neos:Document

Troubleshooting

If you get the message Missing restoration target for the current node even though a Trash node has been created, make sure you have a Trash node matching the context of the nodes to be restored. Specifically check the content dimensions. You must have a Trash node that can be found in the same dimension value combination as the node to be restored., _(*5)
