RefineryCMS - remove default page parts

Question

I want to remove the side_body section on each page in RefineryCMS.

The guide advises that you can change page parts by going into config/initializers/refinery/pages.rb and altering the settings:

So I have changed:

config.default_parts = [“Body”, “Side Body”]

to:

config.default_parts = [“Body”]

I have restarted my server, but my side_body section still appears. Can the side_body be removed?

Answer 1

It is just a guess, but I believe that it only appears on already existing pages. If you create a new page, you should only see the Body-tag. At least this was the behavior in Refinery 1.0.8.

To remove the Side Body from already existing pages, you will have to make the pageparts editable. I think you can achieve this by setting config.new_page_parts => true. After that, when you edit the page, you should be able to see a (+), a (-) and a (reorder)-sign right above the editor.
