Turn Off comments on specific Confluence page

[karthik A]

Hi friends,

It is possible turn off the comment option only for specific page in confluence.

Thanks in advance,

Karthik A.

Hi Karthik,

As I know this is not possible OOTB. From current options only using a plugin is a way to do it. You can write your own or use one of the existing on Marketplace for example Community Forms that allows locking comments on specific pages - https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.adaptavist.confluence.forums

I hope that will help.

Best Regards,

Mirek

Hello!

I get this by adding a HideElements macro to the page. It was best solution for me =)

[Sandra Meessen]

Do I understand correctly that this is not a "Confluence administrator" functionality, but any user with write access on the space/page can change the options?

Hi Karthik,

You can hide the comments button using below Javascript.

<script type="text/javascript">
AJS.toInit(function(){
AJS.$('#comments-section').hide();
}
</script>

You need to add this script in a html macro on a page where , you want to hide comments.

Will this work for Confluence OnDemand as well?

[Peter Van de Voorde]

Jan,

This will not work, because the HTML macro is severly limited in Confluence OnDemand (for security reasons).

Best regards,

Peter

Kapil, your answer works but it has a typo. Also you need to enable html macro: 1. In Confluence go to: Admin > General Configuration > Manager Add-ons Find the 'Confluence HTML Macros' under System add-ons. Enable the 'html' module. CAUTION - this has serious security consequences. 2. Edit the page where you wish to hide comments. Insert the 'html' macro. Paste the following text into the html macro - note the extra ')' on line 4: <script type="text/javascript"> AJS.toInit(function(){ AJS.$('#comments-section').hide(); }) </script>

Hi Kapil,

Thanks for your updates, i add this script in a HTML comment macro on a page. But still the comment is visible.

Is there is any way to hide that comment.

Thanks,

Karthik A.

Hi Karthik,

Can you try this script.

<script type="text/javascript">
AJS.toInit(function(){
AJS.$('#comments-section').hide();
});
 for (var i=0; i<nr_li; i++) {
    // if the element has the class fom 'clasa' parameter
    if(tags_li[i].getAttribute('class') == 'innerCell'){
		 tags_li[i].style.overflow = 'visible';
			//tags_li[i].style.overflow-y= 'visible';
	}    
  }
</script>

It worked for me, thank you!

[Ole Kværnø]

Worked in Atlassian Confluence 5.4.4. Thank you! 

[Taiwo Ojo]

is there a way to make submitted comments invisible on page until an administrator approves it?

[Minh Tran]

@Taiwo Ojo I believe Confluence does not support that kind of functionality
