Feature Toggles

The Higher Education Package allows you to disable some features in case you don’t want to use them or you want to use your own implementation.

If a feature is disabled, the corresponding typoscript, TCA, CSS, plugin configurations, hooks, scheduler tasks and so on won’t be included by the Higher Education Package. This can lead to invalid plugins or TCA configuration if the feature was used and afterwards disabled.

Features can be switched on and off in the Extension Configuration module in the backend.

The following features can be toggled:

Feature	Default
Persons	enabled
News	enabled
Styleguide	disabled
SCSS autoprefixer	enabled
Check for alternative text on image references	enabled
Solr	disabled
KeSearch	enabled
YouTube / Vimeo videos	enabled
Department kickstarter	disabled
Education offer the pagetype	enabled
Accordion	enabled

Note

You can also set a dedicated BackendLayoutKey for “Education offer” pagetype. Key is used for an data handler hook, see Education offer Developer Notes.
