This documentation is written for the 7.x-2.x version of Display Suite.

The Display Suite Extras modules offers a number of additional tools for managing the display of content:

  • Contextual links, adds a local task link to the full content and teaser view that takes you directly to the Manage display screen
  • Field templates
  • Block regions
  • Extra fields, make fields from other modules (that are not exposed to Display Suite) available on the "Manage display" screens
  • Page title options, allows you to hide the title, set a default title, or replace the title with token values.
  • View mode per node, allows you to set the view mode for each node. It adds a vertical tab "Display settings" to a node edit form.
  • View mode switcher, adds a field that allows the visitor of the website to switch the view mode for a node

To use any of these tools:

  • Enable the sub module Display Suite Extras at Administration > Modules (admin/modules)
  • Go to Administration > Structure > Display Suite and click the secondary tab "Extras" (admin/structure/ds/extras)
  • Configure the desired options
  • Go to People > Permissions and select which roles shall have access to view the fields controlled by DSE.
