How to disable Discussions in Alfresco 1.4?

As we transition to the new Hyland Community, some post links may be temporarily disrupted as we finalize redirects. We apologize for the inconvenience and are working to resolve this as quickly as possible. Details.

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,

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>
