TW5 - Remove "Save Changes, Settings" icon, and "Tools, More" tabs

[Robert Wong Tek Kong]

Hello All!

I am a new Tiddywiki user, and wanted to create an information database for use within my company. When I release a version to the public, I would like to remove the option to save or view settings within the wiki to clean up the look of it and subtly prevent any changes. With my current set-up people can't make changes anyway, but wanted to completely remove the option all together.

Is there any way to do this? Not to familiar with html5, but tried to comment out anything related to these options but it messes up the entire script.

Thanks in advance for the help!

Hi

There's a readonly theme available ($:/ControlPanel/Appearance/Theme tab) -- this will remove the edit and save buttons.

To remove tabs in the sidebar, delete the $:/tags/SideBar' tag from the tabs:

-- e.g. '$:/core/ui/SideBar/More' and '$:/core/ui/SideBar/Tools' (AdvancedSearch/Shadows on this tag to find them.)

Hi Robert,

Have a look at my guide How to make TW5 readonly.

Cheers,

Wow, thanks so much everyone! Really appreciate your help. Looks like all of these options will work just right, thanks again!

Hi everyone,

Here's how I would hope to see this work eventually:

1. all editing ui in TiddlyWiki should be some core/edit plugin that is by default included
   
2. the ability to either deactivate it
• or not include it at all when building a target wiki under node
  

Best wishes,

Tobias.
