Re: [xwiki-devs] [Proposal] Removing comments, attachments, etc. tabs (#docextra) in default applications WebHome

AFAIR, usecases like these (together with rights management) were the reason why most of us agreed that page administration is a good thing to have, in addition to the existing space administration. They might be a bit cosmeticized now with NS/ND, but the idea should remain the same (2 admin sections, 1 for space and 1 for individual page that overrides the space settings). That is at least for the presentational level. On the implementation side (actually, still mostly talking in functionality terms), I would (ideally) view this as more or less of a skin customization section, where the skin is pretty much a collection of extension points. In this case, it would mean filtering the #docextra extension point, defined by the #docextra UIX inserted in the #afterContent UIXP that is defined by the skin's layout. More generally speaking, we should be able to control if a particular UIX will be displayed on the current page/space/wiki by specifying some velocity script that would return true/false, as Vincent suggested. All of this should be seen as configuration, even if the rules are bits of code. Back to our example, we need to be able to set a rule for the #docextra UIX. I know it's a bit far fetched from our current state, but IMO until we reach a level where skins are defined as collections of extension points and configurations of UIX/UIXPs, we will struggle each time we introduce a new skin and each time we have a particular skin problem for which we will introduce a new custom mechanism to keep track of and maintain. A skin editor with a palette of UIXP/UIX to drag&drop from + the ability to generically override the skin's configuration at various levels in the page hierarchy would be pretty awesome. Now, back to the real world, probably the simplest would be to display a new option (e.g. "Show Page Extra Sections") in this list https://www.evernote.com/shard/s119/sh/7b73c394-e9e7-4e77-bac1-2aa22a5e9c73… under Page Administration.
