KM Navigation iView: how to remove the context menu

[Former Member]

Hi SDN,

I created a KM Navigation iView by duplicating the standard ConsumerTableProfile.

Everything is working fine and the documents are displayed in a tabular format. But the problem is a context menu is displayed beside the documents. Can any one suggest me how to remove the context menu (Containg: Create link, clipboard, details etc)beside the document. I have given the read permission to that user.

you need to do the changes in your layoutset.

Find out the layoutset that you are using from the KM Navigation iview properties.

Then navigate to System administrator -> System Configuration -> Knowledge Management -> Content Management

in that go to User interface -> Settings-> Layoutset

Search for your layout set and then click on the Resource Renderer List, Find the Resource or Folder or Link Command Group and disable them by setting the Command Display to OFF.

If your layout set is Standard one, then my suggestion is make a duplicate of it and do the changes. Finally use that Layoutset in your KM Navigation iview.

Hi Raghu,

Thanks for your quick reply. I am using the duplicates only. When i set the Command Display to OFF the context menu disappers for all the sub folders and the documents in it, but for the root folder to which the KM Navigation iView is set have the context menu. Can you tell me what more to me set.

You can do that in the iview properties itself

open your KM Navigation iview as object and in the propery Editor .. select Appearance - Tray

then deselect all the context menu properties you want. Set all as no.

Hi Raghu,

I hope you have mistaken me. I am not talking about the iView properties.

Actually i have KM Folder which consits of subfolders. I created KM Navigation iView pointing to the root folder. So previously the context menu appears beside the documents and the sub folders. But now the context menu appears for the root folder but not for the subfolders and all the documents. so how to remove that context menu to that root folder also.

I am using duplicated(z_consumertable) of standard Consumer Table. With the following properties

Show write-protect notice: checked

Enabled for presentation settings: unchecked

Screen Reader enabled: unchecked

Fallback Layout Set for Screen Reader: z_consumertable

Layout Controller: Not set

Collection Renderer: AppDocumentCollectionRender

Resource Renderer: z_LinklistResourceRender (Where Command dispaly is off)

Thanks in Advance

Hello Basha,

The context menu you are trying to remove is part of the breadcrumb, there's no standard way

to toogle the context menu on/off on breadcrumbs, however it's possible to have an empty command

group for the context menu.

In order to do so go to your layout set zConsumerTable, check its Collection Renderer settings,

I've noticed your collection renderer is AppDocumentCollectionRender, but could be any other,

I am using the standard ConsumerTableCollectionRenderer, anyways my point is, have a custom

collection renderer for it.

On the collection renderer settings you have two options:

- make breadcrumbs invisible (not a good idea since would kill navigation)

- change the collection command group (pick this one)

Hint: if you change Collection Command Group to Not Set portal will use some default command group and you will still have the context menu there, instead change to AppEmpty

Hint2: in Displayed Properties if you remove the rnd:action parameter you won't need to have a custom Resource Renderer

since this would remove the context menu for the collection items

For Eg.:

default entry:

rnd:icon,rnd:displayname(contentLink)+rnd:action,contentlength,col:rating,rnd:collaborationstatus,modified

modified entry:

rnd:icon,rnd:displayname(contentLink),contentlength,col:rating,rnd:collaborationstatus,modified

good luck!

Hi Rafael,

Thanks for your support. As said by you i have changed the following properties.

in Z_AdminColletionTreeRender :

Mass Command Group: AppEmpty

and in Z_LinkListResourceRenderer

visibility properties(default value is this) : rnd:icon+rnd:displayname(contentLink) , i made it blank.

But still the context menu is displaying.

Please suggest me what more need to be done.

Hi Basha,

you need to change the Collection Command Group property not Mass Command Group

Hi Rafel,

After changing the flavor property of Z_AppDocumentCollectionRenderer to Not set. The context menu disappeared.
