Exclude Non-Custome Columns from Content Server

XrXca · 10-16-2012, 04:46 PM

I realize you can exclude custom columns from the content server using the content_server_wont_display option in the tweaks.py file, and this works well, but I'd like to suppress standard columns as well, I tried adding the standard columns to the array, but it didn't work.

Is there a way to do this without going into source, or stripping the data from the db (I'd like to keep the languages info, but not actually display a selection for it in the home page)

If I strip the data from the column it doesn't show, but if I have 100 books in the library, and 99 are set to English and one has nothing in the column, I get Languages on the server home page.

Further, if all 100 of those books are set to English, you STILL get a languages selection on the home page that just lists all books.

No, there's no way to do that short of editing the source code.
