The document details page is
developed using Surf, use the SurfBug tool to identify the components for the
Comments field and Comment link. The
SurfBug tool can activated using the following URL:
http://localhost:8080/share/page/surfBugStatus
After enabling the SurfBug
tool click on the Comment link and Comments field to find out the region-id and
source-id for the Comments field and link. We need these values to remove the
Comments field and hide the Comment link on document details page.
After getting the region-id and source-id add a Spring Surf
extension module that tells Share not to render the Comments field and hide the
Comment link.
In the extension module override the default sub-components
and add new evaluations for it. The region-id and source-id values that we got
from the Surfbug tool should be used to identify the components.
In the sub-component evaluation of Comments field specify a
unique id and set render to false. This evaluation will hide the Comments field
on document details page.
In the sub-component evaluation of node-header specify a
unique id and set showComments property to false. This evaluation will hide the
Comment link on document details page.
Set the auto-deploy property of the module to true. Restarting the
Alfresco server will automatically deploy this module. An example extension module is shown below:
Restart the server. Login to Alfresco Share and go to the
document details page, the Comment link and the Comments field should now be
removed from the page.
