Template availability in STK is controlled at two levels: 1) Site definition controls site-wide template availability. The "default" site definition makes templates available to all sites. See Templating Kit > Site Definitions > /default/templates/availability. Your site definition can extend the default. Here you can also restrict template access to certain roles, see stkGlossary for example.
2) Categories determine which template may be assigned to a page. Your question about news pertains to this level of control. STK has five out-of-the-box template categories (examples in parentheses): - home (stkHome) - functional (stkRedirect) - section (stkSection) - feature (stkNewsOverview) - content (stkArticle, stkNews) Availability plays out like this: - Categories allowed at root level: home, functional - Categories allowed at root + 1 level: functional, section, feature - Categories allowed at root + 2 level and below: functional, section, feature, content The dependencies between categories are not configurable (yet) but you may be able to override the behavior. See classes info.magnolia.module.templating.Template and info.magnolia.module.templatingkit.templates.STKTemplate. Search also the user list archives, e.g. http://old.nabble.com/STK%3A-hierarchy-of-templates-defined-where--td25508007.html#a25508007. --Antti On Nov 3, 2010, at 1:32 PM, Jon RINGWOOD PSE 55500 wrote: > Can anyone tell me how template types are restricted in the Website?
