Thank you Christian, I got this working, but it's still not exactly what I meant: I want to keep the extras function enabled on _some_ section pages and disable it on some others which also have the type section.
Is there a way to put this into practice or do I need to make real "physical" copies of each template so that I'll have 3-5 versions of each template? It's not a problem but I was just wondering if you did sth. else As you said here: "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." This still seems to be another method to me: If those are copies of the original template, why am I not able to select them for other pages? Or did I still get something wrong? I noticed, that those templates have the title e.g. "Section template with no extras and no Promos", but if I activate the dropdown once for the examples from "section variations" the "with no extras and no Promos" text disappears and so the template variation does. I hope this is not too confusing and you can understand what I am trying to say Thanks for your help and sorry for me being so slow on the uptake :) Greetings Dennis -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Im Auftrag von Christian Ringele Gesendet: Montag, 6.

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 On Jul 6, 2009, at 15:14 , Dennis Buenzel wrote: > 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 > > Von: [email protected] > [mailto:[email protected] > ] Im Auftrag von Françoise Gérard > Gesendet: Montag, 6.
