Removing the Flash previewer from Document Details

Hi allIs there any way that we can remove the flash previewer from rendering on the Document Details screen? What we've been noticing is that it does slow down rendering of the Document Details screen considerably, particularly in IE7 which is what we're using at the moment. I've been having a poke

I think you can remove in
shared\classes\alfresco\web-extension\templates\org\alfresco\document-details.ftl

            <#if (config.scoped['DocumentDetails']['document-details'].getChildValue('display-web-preview') == "true")>
            <@region id=doclibType + "web-preview" scope="template" protected=true />
            </#if>

just happen to be in that module at this moment

Hi michaelc

Thanks for your suggestion. I found that removing it totally from the ftl caused more problems than it solved. So I went into web-preview.js and commented out the line "so.write(this.widgets.realSwfDivEl.get("id"));", this stops the previewer from loading.

Then I modified the CSS so that real estate of the screen isn't being taken up quite so much, then modified some properties of web-preview so that the text fits with the new context of not having a previewer.

I know you can remove the previewer by using share-config, but it still loads up space for the previewer so it doesn't "totally" remove it.

Thanks for your help!
