Folders without a storage Uid prepended are assumed to be located in the default storage, which by default is the fileadmin/ folder. If a folder you specify does not exist it will not get mounted. Effective in workspaces too.

The alternative filemounts are added to the existing filemounts.

Property

hideModules.[module group]

Example:

# Hide module groups "file" + "help"

options.hideRecords.pages = 12,45

This is a useful setting for translators which primarily wish to see their translation when they click the view-links.

Example:

options.view.languageOrder = 2,1
