Facet Update: Editable Permissions & Quick Admin Links

This update introduces permission-aware template variables and admin utility URLs, making it easier to build editor-focused UI directly in the frontend.

These additions enable templates to determine whether the current user can edit a page and provide convenient access to administrative actions.

✨ New Features

page.isEditable

Facet now exposes a new template variable:

page.isEditable

This variable indicates whether the current user has permission to edit the current page.

It allows templates to conditionally render UI elements intended only for editors.

Example

{{#if page.isEditable}}
  <a href="{{ page.url }}?edit=1">Edit this page</a>
{{/if}}

Typical use cases include:

• inline edit buttons
• editor toolbars
• contextual editing controls
• page-level management tools

If the user does not have edit permission, the block will not render.

Admin URL Variables

Facet now provides additional site-level variables for common administrative links:

These variables simplify building frontend admin navigation without hardcoding backend paths.

Example

<a href="{{site.adminProfileUrl}}">Profile</a>
<a href="{{site.adminLogoutUrl}}">Logout</a>

UI Example: Quick Admin Links

A common use case for these additions is a quick admin toolbar displayed on the frontend for logged-in users.

This toolbar can provide shortcuts to common admin actions such as editing the current page, accessing the dashboard, managing pages, or logging out.

Example implementation:

{{#deferred skeleton-width="0" skeleton-height="0"}}
{{#if user.isLoggedin}}
<div
  class="uniui-admin-links fixed right-4 top-1/2 -translate-y-1/2 z-50"
  aria-label="Quick admin links"
>
  <div class="uniui-admin-links__group">

    {{#if page.isEditable}}
    <a href="{{page.url}}?edit=1" aria-label="Edit page">
      Edit
    </a>
    {{/if}}

    <a href="{{site.url}}faceflow/">Dashboard</a>

    <a href="{{site.url}}faceflow/pages-manage">Pages</a>

    <a href="{{site.adminProfileUrl}}">Profile</a>

    <a href="{{site.adminLogoutUrl}}">Logout</a>

  </div>
</div>
{{/if}}
{{/deferred}}

Behavior Summary

This ensures that management UI is only available to authorized users.
