I would also very much prefer lighter preferences *in general*.. i.e. break out the big xwiki preferences humungo thing into smaller bits that can be disabled.. like registration. What if I don't want to allow registration? It would be nice to set a value in xwiki.cfg, and have all that registration stuff just disappear. Actually, the "Ad" stuff is the real bother, I don't use ads. I'd rather not have to even see them in the config panels. Maybe from the main xwiki config panel, enable/disable things like ads, blogs, photo album, etc. and if they're disabled, then ... And what do you need to admin for the photo album anyway? Or blog, for that matter.. it seems like this is mostly to get at the ClassSheet and ClassTempate... it seems like a more generic mechanism would be better, like just linking to XWikiClasses... -- 'Waste of a good apple' -Samwise Gamgee _______________________________________________ devs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/devs
