Hi all ! I'm trying to disable comments from all users (guests and logged users) and then to hide the useless comments zone at bottom of pages. I've seen there is some options in the wiki.cfg file but I'm not the server admin. Is there a way to do that without having to modify the config file and reboot xwiki ? I don't find anything in the administration space. I've thought to change the layout and remove this zone but I don't find it's a "clean" way to do, and maybe later we'll want to reactivate comments... thanks for your help, Marie.

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.

Would be great if you guys could summarize all this on xwiki.org. I'd put it in the existing configuration guide (in the Admin space). WDYT? Any volunteer?

The same steps can be applied for hiding the left panels and displaying them at will on specific pages but there is problem with the display. Try turning off the 'display the left column' in <server>/xwiki/bin/edit/XWiki/XWikiPreferences?editor=object&classname=XWiki.XWikiPreferences and then placing #set($showLeftPanels=1). Or even the other way round by turning it on and placing #set($showLeftPanels=1). A little fine tuning might help a lot... Any suggestions ? Harikrishnan Sergiu Dumitriu wrote:
