Disabling comments in a 2.0 wiki?

You can also place the code in a Google Gadget plugin, as demonstrated on this page.

Hopefully, they will address the issue of disabling comments at the same time they allow comments from people who are not logged in.

Hi all!

I'm excited to let you know that we released a great new set of features today! Premium wiki users can now go to "Settings" and then "Customization" to customize the look and feel of your wiki - including disabling comments!

If you're not a premium user yet, you can check out our pricing plans by clicking the "Upgrade!" link on your wiki. This feature is available on all premium wiki plans.

For those of us without a premium wiki, is there a wiki-wide work around? Or do I have to put
<style>#comments { display:none !important; }</style>
in the GoogleGadget plugin on each of my wiki pages?

Thank you.

Hi C

You could try adding it to your SideBar page. That page is always displayed in the Side Panel in 2.0 wikis by default. I cannot promise that it will work. As Rachel mentioned earlier, we only support hiding the comments in premium wikis.

It works, but you have to put it in the HTML/Javascript plugin.
Unfortunately it doesn't work with the Navigator bar.
If someone could write me a code to get rid of the Navigator as well, my site would look much better.

Hi Ella,

I'm sorry, I don't have any code for removing the Nav module. However, if you are using Firefox and you install the Firebug addon, Firebug can help you identify the name of the navigator module and use the same type of code as the one above to hide it.

Hi Cliff,

I gave it a try, but unfortunately it is not giving me a name.
With "comments" it gives you this:
a name="comments"
But with the navigator bar that is not the case. And I can't find anything in that code, I can use for it.
But anyway, thanks for trying to help.
You know, the only thing I want is to get rid of that empty white space on top.

Hi Ella,

I spent 15 minutes or so using Firebug. I've always seen it recommended but in this case I was lost and wasn't able to find the DIV ID for the navigator.

I resorted to an old trick and saved a wiki page as "HTML Complete". I examined the HTML and found what I think might work for you.

Try adding this to the SideBar page in an HTML plugin:
< style>#module-folders { display:none !important; }< /style>

Take the spaces out of the < style> and < /style> tags. I only added that space so it would display here in GetSatisfaction.

In any case, it seemed to work for me. Your mileage may vary.

Hi Clif,

Fantastic, the navigator is gone and the sidebar is on top again.
It looks much better now.
Thank you so much, you're the best.

Ella, many thanks for directing me here and Cliff for the workaround! I seem to get fine milage, just like Ella. Great!

Does the Premium package allow me to place the Navigator underneath the SideBar, btw, as a default for all visitors? Alternatively, to colIapse the Navigator as a default? I just might like to have that Navigator available on my page later on when I get used to all the bells and whistles :)

Hi Niiloa

The simple answer is no.

The premium and free packages work the same as far as the re-ordering of the Side Panel modules are concerned.

You can drag, drop and collapse them. They will stay that way when you view them, but nobody else will see your changes. Everyone viewing the pages can re-order the modules as they please and only that person will see them displayed as they put them.

If you hide the modules using the bit of style script, the modules will stay hidden for everyone.
