Hi Dennis,

There are two ways to enable extras (extraArea).
You an say that this approach counts for all areas available in STK (except mainArea, main hast to be there):
- extrasArea, promosArea, platformArea, baseArea

The two possibilities of enabling/disabling areas like extras are site- wise or template-wise. These are two approaches for providing all different variation possibilities in one site.
As Francois writes:
Site Definitions > default > templates > prototype > extrasArea.
This is the site wise approach means -> on all templates, not overwriting this value, extras is disables/enabled

The site wide definition can be overwritten in any template.
That is what you have seen in demo-features -> section variations.
Each template you see there is a copy of the original section template.
And in each copy i activated/deactivated a different area, overwriting the site wide definition.

Generally all values in the site-wide-areas definition can be overwritten on template level, not only the enabled option. Like this you can overwrite for example the 'paragraphs' values -> which paragraphs are provided in the new bar on template level. This means that you create on template level the exact same property with a different value -> overwrites the site value for this template.

Now concrete on disabling the extrasArea on template level:
config -> modules -> standard-templating-kit -> templates -> stkSection (or the template you want to change) -> generate contentNode 'extrasArea' -> generate property 'enabled' value 'false'

this overwrites the general site configuration 'extrasArea->enable' which counts for all templates.

I hope this explanation is understandable :)

Cheers
Christian

Hi,
figured that way out too, but this would disable the “extras” feature on every page – I want to disable /enable it page-specific, so the first way would be more useful I think.

Thanks
Dennis

Hi again,

Another way should be to put the enabled value to false in the Site Definitions > default > templates > prototype > extrasArea.

Subject: [magnolia-user] Need help with STK

Hi there,
I’m playing around with Magnolia a little and I just can't find out how to disable the "extras" and "promos" sections. There are examples for this functions at the "demo-features" -> "section- variations" site but just can't find out how to apply those settings to specific categories on my own site -.-

thanks
sYned
