Disable Media Uploader

Instructions

The media uploader is a great tool, but you may want to disable it for whatever reason. Perhaps you want to limit the amount of content uploaded, would prefer not to require your clients have a Java Virtual Machine, or something else entirely!

To make this easy we've left a configuration hook. This means you do not even need to request access to your source code in order to disable it. Just follow these instructions.

1. Login to your network's file system using WebDav.
2. Navigate to /instances/main and click on widget-configuration.xml
3. Find the <config> tag. Just below this tag insert the following line:

   <hideBulkUploader>yes</hideBulkUploader>
   
   

   The top of your widget-configuration.xml should now look something like this:

   <?xml version="1.0"?>
   <widget id="2" root="index">
   <name>main</name>
   <config>
       <hideBulkUploader>yes</hideBulkUploader>
       <version type="string" checkState="true">0.1</version>
       <appSubdomain type="string">yournetworkname</appSubdomain>
       ...
   
   

4. Click on the 'Save' button to save your changes to this file.
5. Clear the configuration cache for your social network.
   

You're all set! Your members will now all be directed straight to the simple media uploader forms.
