Configuration Changes

Homepage Super Type

With the changes to the Site handling, the homepage or prototype of the root page needs to extend the 'Neos.Neos:Site' Super Type. 

yaml
'Your.Package:Document.Homepage':
  superTypes:
    'Neos.Neos:Site': true

References

In Neos 9 there is now a distinction between properties references. While the old syntax still works, you are encouraged to switch to the new syntax.

Old:

yaml
'Your.Package:Document.Homepage':
	properties:
		menuName: 
			type: string
		metaMenu: 
			type: references

New:

yaml
'Your.Package:Document.Homepage':
	references:
		metaMenu: {}
	properties:
		menuName: 
			type: string

Node Property Scope

While this is strictly not a change, this is definitely a cool new feature. 

For each property you can define the scope. The scope defines which variants of the node are affected.

yaml
'Your.Package:Document':
	properties:
		unscopedProperty:
          	type: string
          	defaultValue: 'My string'
		nodeScopedProperty:
          	type: string
          	scope: node
          	defaultValue: 'My string'
		specializationsScopedProperty:
          	type: string
          	scope: specializations
          	defaultValue: 'My string'
		nodeAggregateScopedProperty:
          	type: string
          	scope: nodeAggregate
          	defaultValue: 'My string'
