TYPO3 Core

I would also like to have a way back ... e.g if the user selects another page later.

Patch set 3 for branch master has been pushed to the review server.
It is available at http://review.typo3.org/12868

But the way back is not a easy to do. When I'm in list on a sysfolder ... and I select a page, maybe it's for managing record on this page, maybe it's for managing content, so the system can't know that.

What do you think ?

I would expect the usability team to look over such a change. Do you mind posting it in their tracker for approval?

Based on Jens Hoffman answer in the UX thread the UX team seems OK with this feature.

Currently the feature is an option. Can it be the default value in 6.0 ?

I personally don't like it, I must confess.

The user just "clicking" around in the page tree will suddenly change module and it won't change back automatically when clicking again on non-Folder page.

Of course it is confusing having two modules to edit "content", but on the other hand, it would be more helpful to integrate both modules in one instead of jumping back and forth. Doing it automatically doesn't help the user, as it makes the user think it is "one module" while there is still a difference which he must know and learn.

Just my 2ct.

Just a note, if it should be a default behavior, you need to check whether the user is allowed to access the list view...

Keep in mind, that there might be setups, where a sysfolder contains tt_content elements.
E.g. folder Teasers that are selected on different pages via typoscript.

I don't think that a redirect is the way to go.

This is just an option, and not the default behavior. So where's is the problem ?

Some setup manage tt_content in the list module in this case.

As this is an option which has to set by the integrator for some folders
it could be stored for the beuser that the module switch has been forced.
The check showing these flashmessages is done for every page so it should
be possible to switch back if the switch from page to list module has been
forced before and the new selected page is not a folder.

one case is ambiguous: forced switch and folder selected which not enabled
for automatic switching. to keep it simple i would not switch back, but ...

yes, two modules will still confuse but automatic switching will make life
a bit easier. (I have seen that extension vidi is offering a new list module.)
