Hi Robert,
sure there is :-)
The rename and delete features are displayed in the top menu bar thanks to a
velocity template. The only thing you need to do is to edit that template to
remove them from the view of casual "simple mode" users (cf
http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/UserGuide/PageEditing).
For this you need to find "menuview.vm" in the albatross skin and edit it so
as to add the #if($isAdvancedUser) condition before the Action menu. This
will prevent that menu from showing up for people using the simple mode.
As for comments and attachements, you have 2 choices:
- *removing them from your whole wiki: *
- You need to change the XWiki.XWikiPreferences class like this:
1. Go to <server>/xwiki/bin/edit/XWiki/XWikiPreferences?editor=class
2. Add a new property called showcomments of type String Class
3. Go to
<server>/xwiki/bin/edit/XWiki/XWikiPreferences?editor=object&classname=XWiki.XWikiPreferences
and write no in the showcomments field
That's it, the comments are gone. If you want to re-enable comments,
replace the "no" value with "yes"
If you want to disable attaachments, too, do the same with a property
named showattachments.
cf http://www.nabble.com/Disable-and-hide-comments-tf4750825.html#a13585583
- *removing them on a per page basis:*
- For disabling comments on a page basis, you can use:
#set ($showcomments=0)
For disabling attachments on a page basis you can use:
#set ($showattachments=0)
- cf http://www.nabble.com/Page-preferences-tf4632206.html#a13228056
Please check the mailing list archive at
http://www.nabble.com/XWiki-f2563.html, a lot of information is available
there to answer your questions.
Hope this helps,
Guillaume
