Sections
These documentation pages are no longer maintained. Please visit the new documentation site.
As mentioned in the previous section, the content node tree is a hierarchical tree representation of all content that belongs to a site. A usual way of categorizing content within the tree is by making use of collectors (for example folders) under which relevant content objects are placed (roughly in the same way as when organizing files on a filesystem). In addition to the hierarchical structure, the tree can be divided into logical sections. Sections are basically used to segment the content node tree.
Using sections makes it easier to:
- Use custom templates
- Control/limit access to content
The use of sections is implemented on the object level. Each object can only belong to one section. By default, an object belongs to the first/default section. The administration interface makes the use of sections an easy match by allowing sectioning to be done on the node level. Each time the section assignment of a node is changed, the section assignment of all subsequent children of that node will also be changed. Whenever an object is published, it will automatically inherit the section of the object's main location.

When a section is assigned to one subtree the object is pubished in, will it get that section in any case or just, when this is the object's main location?
