How to disable Discussions in Alfresco 1.4?

[cmathieu]

Hi all,

I have a requirement to disable the Discussions feature within Alfresco 1.4. Is this possible? I have been trawling all the available documentation but I've not clearly seen a way to do this. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Thanks all.

Rgds,
Charles

Hi,

By disable I presume you just mean hide the Start Discussion actions?

If so, this can be done by hiding the appropriate actions in your web-client-config-custom.xml file.

Add the following to your file and you shouldn't see the actions anymore:

<action-group id="document_browse">
   <show-link>false</show-link>
   <action idref="discuss_node" hide="true" />           
</action-group>
        
<action-group id="document_browse_menu">
   <action idref="create_forum_node" hide="true" />
</action-group>
        
<action-group id="space_browse">
   <show-link>false</show-link>
   <action idref="discuss_node" hide="true" />
</action-group>

<action-group id="space_browse_menu">
   <action idref="create_forum_node" hide="true" />
</action-group>
        
<action-group id="doc_details_actions">
   <action idref="discuss_node" hide="true" />
   <action idref="create_forum_node" hide="true" />
</action-group>
        
<action-group id="space_details_actions">
   <action idref="discuss_node" hide="true" />
   <action idref="create_forum_node" hide="true" />
</action-group>

Hi Gavin,

Thanks for the info. I've just tried this but I can still see the option to Start Discussion after rebooting the Alfresco server whilst logged in as a user with Collaborative access. I just did a cut and paste of the code you provided and place it at the beginning of the web-client-config-custom.xml file. Have I missed something?

Thanks Gavin

Hi Charles,

it worked fine for me.

maybe you forgot config and actions tags?

<config>
      <actions>
   Gavins code here
      </actions>
</config>


best regards,
stefan
