problems disabling CIFS

[stk137]

I want to fully disable CIFS
I added to file-servers-custom.xml

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

However, the CIFS network folder icon/link and the "view in CIFS" link still appear

am I missing something?

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.

…but the deploy error rimains!  :roll:

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.
