Suppress the Content Ratings and Comments

Suppress the Content Ratings and Comments

Question

In our Digital Hive environment, it would be desirable to disable the ratings and the commentary. Is there a way to suppress these features from the UI?

Answer

It is possible to suppress the ratings and comments, but this would have to be done at the server level. It is not possible to disable the ratings and comments on a Hive by Hive basis.

Disabling the ratings and comments needs to be configured through a file located on the Digital Hive server, so the proper administrative access to the server would be required.

  1. On the Digital Hive server, navigate to the <install_directory>\DigitalHive\app\node1\tomcat\webapps\theia directory
  2. Open the config.json file in a text editor
  3. Add  "disableCommentsAndRatings": true, to the file, making sure that the trailing comma is included
  4. Save the config.json file
The resulting file should look like this:


No restart of the server would be required for the setting to take affect, but users will have to refresh their browsers to see the changes.

Once this setting has been made, the resulting properties panel for an artifact would look like this (notice that the ratings and comments sections have been suppressed):
