How To Disable Blank Page and SPACE Template

A lots of organizations do not prefer use of blank pages and SPACE. The option to use them is readily available for all users but there is no built-in functionality to disable the quick page create option and Blank SPACE template use.

How-To

1. Disable quick page create from Menu

           Insert the following code snippet in the Custom HTML

           <script type="text/javascript">
                             AJS.toInit(function(){
                             AJS.$('#quick-create-page-button').hide();
                             AJS.$('#create-page-button > span.aui-iconfont-more').removeClass("aui-icon aui-icon-small aui-iconfont-more");
});
          </script>

       2. Disable the system module for " Creating Blank Page "

curl --user "username:password" --location --request PUT '<baseurl>/rest/plugins/1.0/com.atlassian.confluence.plugins.confluence-create-content-plugin-key/modules/create-blank-page-key' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/vnd.atl.plugins.plugin.module+json' \
--data-raw '{
"enabled": false
}'

Here , plugin key : com.atlassian.confluence.plugins.confluence-create-content-plugin

and module key : create-blank-page

       3. Disable the system module for " Creating Blank SPACE "

curl --user "username:password" --location --request PUT '<baseurl>/rest/plugins/1.0/com.atlassian.confluence.plugins.confluence-create-content-plugin-key/modules/create-blank-space-item-key' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/vnd.atl.plugins.plugin.module+json' \
--data-raw '{
"enabled": false
}'

Here , plugin key : com.atlassian.confluence.plugins.confluence-create-content-plugin

and module key : create-blank-space-item

How-To Template.

The How-To Template gets affected by this method. It will not launch as expected. So the way out may be to create a new customized How-To template.
