Hidden gems in ImageVault
It's been quite a while since my last post but now I would like to share some small but useful tips regarding ImageVault.
When you have installed ImageVault you can see two new editor plugins on each and every HTML string property. Because the lack of possibility to disable a custom editor plugin in EPiServer the ImageVault team has created a solution for those who want to disable these tools.
So how do you do it? It's quite simple, if your XHTMl property is named MainBody you should create a new property of any type e.g. String (<= 255) and name it MainBodyHideMeridiumLinkEditor to hide the link editor or MainBodyHideImageVault to hide ImageVault. I'm quite sure some of you guys/girls out there has created cleaner solution for this kind of problem but this works out of the box.
Let me know what you think or if you have a better solution that you would like to share.
You can hide it in the plugin manager. All self registrating classes can be disabled this way.
HideMainBodyImageVault should only be used if you want to hide ImageVault on a specific page type.
I know, but in most cases you want to hide it on every page type.
If that is the case, your approach is the way to go. Thanks for sharing!
