Disable Webdesk interface?

Hi,

Does anyone know if there is a way to completely disable the Webdesk interface option in TeamSite 5.5.2. I want all users to go through the other interface to lessen confusion amongst the authors.

Thanks in advance,

dh

There is no "supported" way to do it. I believe others have "hacked" the login page to remove the drop-down, or only allow one option. This is unsupported, and will have to be done again at the next upgrade (or potentially SP or patch installation).

I did kind of hack it, although it's no big deal really. The person in charge for the users wanted the webdesk pro only, for all users. I don't think it was a good idea, because the other interface is more userfriendly. But, here's what I did:

1. In the file login.jsp (iw-home/http/webapps/webdesk/teamsite), changed from:
<%
if (destOverride == null || true) {
%>
<tr>
<td><i18n:getText key="login_interface" encoding="HTML"/></td>
<td>
<input type="checkbox"
name="<%=DualInterfaceLoginServlet.WHICH_UI%>"
value="webdesk"
<%= isChecked(whichUI, "webdesk") %>
onclick="iw_which_ui_changed()"> <i18n:getText key="login_interface_webdesk" encoding="HTML"/>
</td>
</tr>
<%
}
%>

to:

<%
if (destOverride == null || true) {
%>
<tr>
<td> </td>
<td>
<input type="hidden"
name="<%=DualInterfaceLoginServlet.WHICH_UI%>"
value="webdesk"
<%= isChecked(whichUI, "webdesk") %>
onclick="iw_which_ui_changed()">
</td>
</tr>
<%
}
%>

2. Compiled the new setting:./app/teamsite/iw-home/install/install_webapps.ipl -c
3. Reset config: ./app/teamsite/iw-home/iwreset -a
