Hi Marie,

You need to change the XWiki.XWikiPreferences class like this:


Go to <server>/xwiki/bin/edit/XWiki/XWikiPreferences?editor=class

2. Add a new property called showcomments of type String Class
3. Go to
<server>/xwiki/bin/edit/XWiki/XWikiPreferences?editor=object&classname=XWiki.XWikiPreferences
and write no in the showcomments field

That's it, the comments are gone. If you want to re-enable comments,
replace the "no" value with "yes"
If you want to disable attaachments, too, do the same with a property
named showattachments.

Hi Marie,

I think the only way to do it is to modify the menu.
