Removing properties from the visual editor

Vote:
 

Hi all,

I've been looking into ways of removing a specific blue, clickable box from the visual editor on a standard page and can't seem to find a way of doing using any method.

Does anyone have any ideas if this is possible?

Thanks in advance!

Not sure if your talking about the blue border around properties or the tinymce editor.

If it's the first one you should be able to use the @Html.DisplayFor instead of @Html.PropertyFor method if you do not wish to get the blue border for a specific prop.

If it's the later you could change what buttions to show by going to admin - config tab - Edit Property Types - scroll down to XHTML string (>255)  and then drag and drop what options to use.

Do you want to disable DOPE (direct on page edit) functionality?

Intead of using

@Html.PropertyFor(x => x.CurrentPage.SomeProperty)

you can use

@Html.DisplayFor(x => x.CurrentPage.SomeProperty)

Hi guys, thanks for the quick response.

I'm after the ability to remove the blue border around a specific prop, that's right. Sorry about the confusion!

Unfortunatly, we're using Web Forms, not MVC. Is there a way of achieving this using web forms?

If you can control this on the model class it's just to add the ScaffoldColumn attribute to your property:

[ScaffoldColumn(false)]
public string Whatever { get; set; }

There is actually a bug fix that's been done recently that still creates an overlay (the blue border) even though the property has been marked as non-editable but this should be released within a week or two.

Since we've updated our site to 7.1.4, the [ScaffoldColumn(false)] has stopped working?

Is this a known issue?

Thanks in advance!
