Hi Antero,

Disabling all features except creating and viewing discussions may apply many of these customizations automatically.  To set these permissions, go to Spaces > Permissions > Space Permissions (they may be called Communities).  To check to see if this helped, log in as a regular user.

1. How to remove some of the menu options ?
These are the menu option that we would like to have: 
New --> Discussion
Your Stuff --> Discussion, Spaces, Profile, Preferences
History --> “No changes”
Browse --> Discussion, Tags, Spaces

I believe these can be set in /template/global/include/jive-macros.ftl

2. How to change the Sorry page (404) content (links, texts, image) ?
Do we just modify the 404.jsp or can this be done by changing some property file ?

You will need to modify the file application/skin/404.jsp.  You will probably need to recompile after modifying this page.

3. How to remove some of the home page "Browse:" links (Projects, Documents, etc.) ?
These are the options that We would like to have: Discussion, Tags, Spaces

I'm not sure where you are seeing this.  Would you please clarify?

4. How to restrict access to the Login page ?
We are going to use SSO and we do not need the login page. One option could be to restrict access to the URL where the Login page is.

You could engage our Professional Services team to develop this. You can also take a look at the documentation on Authentication and Authorization and the Example Authentication and Authorization document.

5. How to restrict access to the People page ?
Can this be done ? We would not like to display the People page which lists all users and has a search functionality.

There is no built in funcionallity to do this.  I can think of 2 good ways to do this.  You could set an Apache rule to simply block /people/.  You could also create a custom plugin which would give you more freedom on how to handle this.  Take a look at the Example Plugin.

For questions 6 through 10 should be able to perform these changes by modifying FTL files.

11. How can we disable "Follow user" feature ?

You would need to create a plugin or remove all references from this in the FTL files.

12. If the session expires, how can we redirect the user to some other page than the Jive SBS login page ?

Properly performing question 4 will likely solve this.

Thanks,

Cory

Hi Antero,

I found this doc which should clarify the majority of your questions: Removing Major Content or Features from Clearspace.

2. There should be a way to do this without recompiling.  I am looking into this and will get back to you later today.

7 &11. I am sorry.  You are right, you can disable Friend connections from this setting.

8. You can actually remove the organization listing by modifying

/template/global/include/view-profile-relationships.ftl

Look for <h4><@s.text name="profile.org.Organization.gtitle" /></h4>

10.Look at the template file

/template/global/main-threads.ftl

13. By only changing FTLs, you will not need to set up a development environment.  You will at least need custom code written to perform SSO.  If you your team is unfamiliar with this process, I recomend consulting Jive professional services.

Thanks,

Cory
