Agreed.

I have not changed that but have done much other improvement, which 
would be nice. In the last (not public)
evaluation version I have made TemplaVoila resembling page type handling
with some fixes, which TemplaVoila doesn't have.

TemplaVoila misses handling of doktype 'spacer', which my evaluation
version has.

For example, when the doktype is 'shortcut' or 'spacer', Columns view
doesn't show content elements. I added also check for any doktype, if
content has been fecthed from another page. Then also content elements
has not been shown.

Test for field 'content_from_pid' added for undefined or unknown page
types - function name for those will be 'renderDoktype_1001' - unknown
or undefined doktype has been reset as fake doktype '1001'.

In addition I added if fields 'shorcut' and 'content_from_pid' have
valid values - if they don't have, then an error message.


I added corresponding alternative system for QuickEdit mode. Imo
changing with certain doktyce automatic to Columns view is annoying,
because using QuickEdit must reselect.

Works fine in test environment.
