Settings in 2sxc

Use PageService.Activate to enable Features and Load JS/CSS

2sxc 12.04 helps with many advanced challenges like these:

Make sure that certain scripts are only loaded once (like jQuery or FancyBox)
Make sure that all apps use the same version of these scripts
Starting things in the right order

Simple Example

The following example will tell the page that fancybox4 is required - which will automatically apply a lightbox to the image below.
It uses the WebResources as configured in the Settings. By default, fancybox4 is already defined, but you can overide this or create your own WebResource definitions.
