# Feature: The scripts of the program list and finder can be switched off {#feature-1791566505}

## Description {#description}

The **Course List** registers the module
`@fgtclb/academic-programs/frontend/program-list.js`, from its template and
from the three partials of its filter form, and the **Course Finder**
registers `@fgtclb/academic-programs/frontend/program-finder.js`. An
installation that brings its own scripts had to override every one of those
files to leave them out.

Both modules are switchable now, together, per site:

| Site setting and constant | Default |
| --- | --- |
| `plugin.tx_academicprograms.assets.js` | `true` |

It is declared by the site set `fgtclb/academic-programs`, with every other
setting of this extension:

**config/sites/my-site/settings.yaml**

```yaml
plugin.tx_academicprograms.assets.js: false
```

An installation that configures its frontend through `sys_template`
records sets the TypoScript constant of the very same name, in
**Constants**:

**Constants of the root sys_template record**

```typoscript
plugin.tx_academicprograms.assets.js = 0
```

Every academic extension that loads a script has this switch, named
`assets.js` below its own plugin namespace and switched on by
default, after the switch of the study plan content element.

## Impact {#impact}

Nothing changes for an installation that configures nothing: both elements
load their scripts exactly as before.

Switched off, the page loads neither, and the markup is unchanged. Both
elements keep working: the list reloads the page when its form is submitted
with the button, and the finder submits to the list without narrowing its
options first. See [Load the script or bring your own](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/fgtclb/academic-programs:configuration-javascript@main).

A project that overrides `Templates/Program/List.html`,
`Templates/Program/Finder.html` or one of the partials
`Program/SortingAndFilters.html`, `Program/DemandSorting.html` and
`Program/DemandCategories.html` keeps whatever its copy loads. The switch
reaches it once it wraps its own `<f:asset.module>` in
`<f:if condition="{settings.assets.js}">`.
