Hi,

Is there an elegant simple way to turn off comments in all pages and remove the comments tab from the CMS ?

Thank you

Cheers

Robin

Hi Robin,

Add a few lines (in green) to /mysite/code/Page.php to the Page class:

class Page extends SiteTree {
	
	public static $db = array(
	);
	
	public static $has_one = array(
	);


	static $defaults = array(
		'ProvideComments' => false
	);
	
	function getCMSFields() {
	      $fields = parent::getCMSFields();   
	      $fields->removeFieldFromTab("Root.Behaviour","ProvideComments");
	      return $fields;
	}

}

To remove the comments tab this should work (add this to your /mysite/_config.php file):

Object::addStaticVars('LeftAndMain', array(
    'removed_menu_items' => array(
		'comments'
	),
));

I read somewhere that Silverstripe 2.3 uses

LeftAndMain::remove_menu_item('comments');

CMSMenu::remove_menu_item()

Not sure which one works for your version of Silverstripe.

Hi Anatol,

Great thank you :-)

Silverstripe 2.3.3...to remove from the main tabs...

CMSMenu::remove_menu_item('CommentAdmin');
