Hello,

Does anyone know if it’s possible to disable the options for sharing courses on Facebook and Twitter?

Thanks.

Yes, thank you!

I tried to create a plugin but it doesn’t work:

from tutor import hooks

hooks.Filters.ENV_PATCHES.add_item(
(
“openedx-lms-common-settings”,
“FEATURES[‘SOCIAL_SHARING_SETTINGS’] =
‘CUSTOM_COURSE_URLS’: False,
‘DASHBOARD_FACEBOOK’: False,
‘CERTIFICATE_FACEBOOK’: False,
‘CERTIFICATE_FACEBOOK_TEXT’: None,
‘CERTIFICATE_TWITTER’: False,
‘CERTIFICATE_TWITTER_TEXT’: None,
‘DASHBOARD_TWITTER’: False,
‘DASHBOARD_TWITTER_TEXT’: None”
)
)

When I try to enable the plugin I get this error:

Error applying action: func=<function discover_module..load at 0x7fcbdad3aca0> contexts=[‘plugins’]’

Hi @antonio did you ever figure this out? I found this thread wanting to disable that social stuff too once I saw it showing up in my logs…

FWIW I can see that you have not the pre single quote ’ but the “fancy” single quote (I have no idea its name), that gets inserted when you use some non-plaintext editors: ‘ and I don’t know if that would be handled correctly. (The same goes for the double quotes.)

Also I couldn’t figure out the correct multi-line syntax for this (I kept also getting errors) but the following single-line version at least seems to pass the “tutor plugins enable ” sanity checks:

from tutor import hooks

hooks.Filters.ENV_PATCHES.add_item(
	(
	"openedx-lms-common-settings",
	"FEATURES['SOCIAL_SHARING_SETTINGS'] = {'DASHBOARD_FACEBOOK': False,'CERTIFICATE_FACEBOOK': False, 'CERTIFICATE_FACEBOOK': False,'CERTIFICATE_FACEBOOK_TEXT': None, 'CERTIFICATE_TWITTER': False, 'CERTIFICATE_TWITTER_TEXT': None,'DASHBOARD_TWITTER': False,'DASHBOARD_TWITTER_TEXT': None}",
	)
)

As far as I can tell though this isn’t working, because those icons you showed at the top are still present on my About class pages…
