## Best practices

### Reset backend Layout in news context

If you want to reset the backend layout configuration in the page module of the news content editing context and use the default column layout instead (only display colPos '0'), add the following TSconfig:

```
[traverse(page, "doktype") == 254 && traverse(page, "module") == 'news' && request && traverse(request.getQueryParams(), 'tx_news_id') > 0]
  mod.web_layout.BackendLayouts >
[end]
```

## Possible todos

- check if page module is allowed for user
- translation
  - language selection must remember news
- tests
- tca override type + label
