How to disable the Edit button on the KB view article page?

pyuen · ‎09-06-2016

Hi folk,

I am currently redesigning the access for knowledge. When I go to the Homepage of the knowledge, click any article, the Edit button show up, how can i disable it ? as it seems to me it 's neither a UI action or Client script. The Flag Article button is fine though.

Yup. I just looked at the element ID of the button and did a quick search on UI macro and UI page tables.

If the question is answered, please close it by marking the response. Also note that this is OOB script and modifying it will incur you the maintenance cost as you will need to watch out for updates related to it during upgrades.

Check this UI macro 'kb_view_common_header_toolbar'

I modify the UI macro and get it working.

How could you locate the UI Macro that quick ? is it in the html page ?
