Properly remove items from UI

[michaelp]

Hi,

Is there a proper way to remove UI items? I want to hide/remove the user status, the "Like" button on the document details page, the "Follow" button on the user profile page and the user search page (or completely shut down this "feature") and hide some user informations like google email adress, skype and instant message (Alfresco should not be a social network platform or something similar).

I did this in every js and html file but this is a confusing and time wasting solution. If I have to do further changes I always have to search the files and the right code line. I have read that there are extension modules where you can override all the render functions in one file or something like this?

Thanks, Michael

So now I know how I can modify something to the document details page but I have still no idea how I can hide some text fields on the user profile editing page or the status item in the user profile drop down menu.

I think there is no better solution than editing the js and ftl files?
