Disabling Wall Posts.

RodSloan · April 2016

Is there a simple way to disable wall posts?

I'm sure I could use css to hide the input form, but is there a better way?

I've tried

Looking in the config file.
Looking for the module.
Looking in permissions.

I specifically mean Wall Posts though. I guess just using css hide if fine? I used:

You can actually disable the form via the plugin you are using so it won't display in the Profile page.

This is what I think you could do but have not tried it. It may be wrong. Line 591

/**
    * Placed these components everywhere due to some Web sites loading the
    * editor in some areas where the values were not yet injected into HTML.
    */
    public function base_render_before($Sender) {

       // Don't render any assets for editor if it's embedded. This effectively
       // disables the editor from embedded comments. Some HTML is still
       // inserted, because of the BeforeBodyBox handler, which does not contain
       // any data relating to embedded content.

        if ($this->isProfileController($Sender)) {  
            return false;  //this might disable the editor in the profile..
        }else{
        if ($this->isEmbeddedComment($Sender)) {
            return false;
        }

.Profile #Form_Comment.TextBox.BodyBox.textarea-autosize.editor-dropzone-init,
.Profile div.editor.editor-format-markdown,  
.Profile div.editor-help-text,
.Profile div.Buttons {
    display: none;
}

Sorry the first one needs to be just return;

if ($this->isProfileController($Sender)) {  
            return;  
        }else{

Thanks @vrijvlinder
I'm not sure which plugin this would go in.

The Advanced Editor plugin, where else ? You want to disable people posting on their wall ? You disable the editor , it is the simplest way.
