getType()method override so the element inheritsBaseElement::getType()which usesi18n_singular_name(). This allows sites to customize the element's display name via extensions by setting$singular_name.Changes
getType()method fromElementAccordionRationale
The base
BaseElement::getType()implementation already uses$this->i18n_singular_name():By removing the override, extensions can now customize the display name in the CMS element picker by simply setting
$singular_name, without needing to override the entire method.Fixes #54
