[TYPO3-dev] Disabling Parts Of TYPO3

[Benjamin Mack]

Hey,

well... I know that I can disable this for every installation for some 
backend users. But what I want to do is:
  + remove a feature for every installation not by configuring at a 
dozen of places but rather have one checkbox to get an installation up 
faster
  + have it gone completely by just installing an extension, not just 
hidden at one place for a specific user.

Exactly. But for instance for disabling the languages feature, I'd like 
a bit more:

* Translation cfg of pages removed when editing page properties (done 
via Page TSConfig)
* Remove "Limit to Languages" feature when editing BE users.
* Hide Web > Info > Translation Overview (maybe that's hidden anyway 
when only one language exists)
* No way to add a Language by clicking on Rootpage (ID 0) when adding a 
new record.

That's why I want to make an extension that does that, to do all this 
configuration for a installation that does not need languages -- I could 
do this for every installation that I set up but I often I forget a 
thing and with that every installation that does not use this feature is 
in the same state.

Of course it's not a big task for an admin --- but the "Access Lists" is 
waaay too much and too detailed to get this up as an admin.
And:
  * If you need to do this for a couple of installations, it IS a big, 
always similar and recurring, annoying task.
  * You mix up stuff (activate this field in that installation, forget 
this field there etc. etc.).

I think this is absolutely not usable for a non-TYPO3-guru who just 
wants to set some basic permissions for Backend users. I know you can do 
it and I can do it, but it just came to our mind a couple of days ago 
where I explained the Backend groups and the guy I explained TYPO3 said: 
"Ok, this is the part where it just goes way too deep". Of course, it's 
great to have everything configured but for most of my installations I 
need a basic configuration setup. This is why I want an easy way to 
disable / enable features.

greetings,
benni.
