Pull Request for Issue #45496
Replaces #45538

Summary of Changes

I suggest a simple solution with options.
Extra events were suggestd but seem over engineering.

It introduces two field article_fields_position for articles, blog_fields_position for blog layout

grafik

For blog there are three options:

  • at the end of content (default, same as now) and
  • after content. This variant displays fields immediately after the (intro) text block
  • hiding the fields.

For artilces two options: at the end or after text.
This solution is b/c, existing sites are not changed.

Testing Instructions

See issue #45496.

Make one or more fields for articles

In your menu items set the position of fields als you like. Play around with settings.

Compare your blogs and article layouts with different settings.

Note: This is not valid for archived articles.

In blog layot as well as in single article layout.

this looks incomplete to me - you need to add the sql for this param for new installs and updates to ensure that you are setting a default value - see my pr for subcategory descriptions for an example
