Question:
How to disable the social plugins (such as following user and ‘like’ document) in Document Library for 4.x Enterprise Alfresco?
Solution:
1) Create a “share-config-custom.xml” in the following location
{Your_Alfresco_Installation_Folder}/tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco/web-extension
Note: Best practice is to copy and rename “share-config-custom.xml.sample” to “share-config-custom.xml”
2) Open “share-documentlibrary-config.xml” in the text editor from following location {Your_Alfresco_Installation_Folder}/tomcat/webapps/share/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco
3) Copy the <metadata-templates> section from “share-documentlibrary-config.xml”
