How to remove favorite/like/comment/share from document library?

[nwali]

I'm using Alfresco Community 5.0.d and Alfresco all-in-one sdk for customisation. I am not able to find a way to remove the favorite/like/comment/share from document library.

I followed this How to disable the social plugins (such as following user and ‘like’ document) in Document Library f...  but social links are still working.

Please let me know the way to fix it.

Thanks in advance!

Hi:

An option is to replace the default metadata template for simple and detailed view in share-config.custom.xml

Maybe this link helps:

Well, I think it is the same tip. This should work for Alfresco 5.0.d

this worked like a charm for removing the share (social) button but how to remove other feature including favorite, comments and like option?

Hi:

Do you refer in document details page ?

In document library and document details, I want to remove the favourite, like and comment feature.

As mentioned in post, Have you tried by commenting following line from share-documentlibrary-config.xml file

<line index="50" id="social" view="detailed">{social}</line>

It should work like a charm.

Hi:

It is better to copy metadata template definitions from share-documentlibrary-config.xml to share-config-custom.xml, to put replace=true in the corresponding Document Library section and to comment the cited social line.

The reference file is share-documentlibrary-config.xml, which is under WEB-INF directory and it should not be changed, while share-config-custom.xml is in Share web-extension directory.

$ALF_HOME/tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco/web-extension/share-config-custom.xml
