 In the backend, if I find Manage Add-on features in WEC Conf,I see that several options show as "Disabled". Yet, we are using those same options. An example is SMS. Another is Staff Directory. We are offered the option to Install these functions.

My questions:

If we do that, will we gain some functions that we do not now have? Will we change the items we already see after we "install" them? Will we wish we had left things alone?

Grace peace,

Don

 Don,
You're not missing out on anything icon_smile.gif The "Add-on Feature" functionality is primarily a way of hiding content and features from non-admin users. When you start out, something like "Maps" is flagged as disabled as a feature. If you're a non-admin user such as BasicAdmin you cannot see this functionality at all.

In reality, behind the scenes we're changing permissions and page settings to turn off but not delete the "Maps" feature. If you're an admin user, then you see the hidden pages all along and can edit them normally.

If you go to the root page on the TYPO3 install (the one with the globe icon) you'll see the actual record for these features and you can delete them completely since they probably don't pertain to your setup anymore.

Hope that helps!
