It looks like you have disabled the CIFS server. However the web client does not know that it is disabled.

There may be a way to disable or change the CIFS links in the web client? Unfortunately I do not know how.

well it looks like there's already a render condition
but why is it evaluating to true if I have disabled CIFS?

And now I notice it looks Alfresco is still spewing errors regarding my CIFS configuration as if it was never disabled.

ok, so now I went into file-servers.xml (instead of equivalent extension)
and
reduced CIFS to just disabled


<config evaluator="string-compare" condition="CIFS Server">
     <serverEnable enabled="false"/>
</config‍‍‍‍

but it still seems not fully disabled
The web client still shows CIFS links and I still get startup errors as if it's not disabled as well.

in the end…there isn't a way to solve this error?

You can change the default 'edit link' action type from CIFS by adding or updating your web-client-config-custom.xml with the following:

<config>
<client>
<edit-link-type>http</edit-link-type>
</client>
</config>

In this case the default edit link type will be changed from CIFS to HTTP, note webdav could also be used.

FYI To avoid possible confusion, this is unrelated to the original issue I raised. I wasn't using the CIFS edit link type.

I was refering to the "Open Network Folder Icon" next to the space name and the "View in CIFS" on the details page which appears even though CIFS is disabled. Edit link types have no effect on these, and they shouldn't, but disabling CIFS should.

This has been fixed in 2.1Enterprise and merged to HEAD (i.e. a nightly build or SVN). If the CIFS server is disabled, the CIFS link in the web-client now disappears from the main browse screens.

Thanks,

Does the also eliminate the startup error?

Also, I am a little confused on the Enterprise vs. Community releases. Are these not the same code? Will there be a community 2.1.1 that is the same as 2.1 Ent?

If different, which are the SDKs built on?

The code streams diverge at major releases, then all changes (fixes and optimzations) made in the Enterprise code are merged back into the community code line. Only Enterprise customers get the minor X.Y.Z versions as a specific release. All code ends up in the community HEAD codeline - just not as controlled as the Enterprise codelines.

Thanks,
