Disabling modules

You can disable an entire module in the Developer Portal if you want to improve performance, or remove functionality.

Before you begin

You must have administrator access to the Developer Portal to complete this task.

Note that the disable process removes all data related to a module.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the Developer Portal as an administrator.
  2. If the administrator dashboard is not displayed, click Manage to display it.
  3. In the administrator dashboard, click Extend.
    The List tab for the Extend page opens, and the list of installed modules is displayed. The list shows all the modules that are installed, some of which are enabled (displayed with a selected check box), and some of which are not enabled (where the check box is not selected).
  4. Click the Disable tab.
    The list of modules that can be disabled is displayed. Note that any modules that are required by other enabled modules, are prevented from being disabled.
  5. Either enter the name of the module that you want to disable in the Filter by name or description field, or scroll through the list of modules.
  6. After you have identified the module that you want to disable, select the check box next to the module, then click Disable.
  7. At the confirmation dialogue, select Disable to disable the module and remove any data that relates to it, or select Cancel to cancel the operation.

Results

You successfully disabled the module.

What to do next

To enable a module, return to the List tab, select the check box next to the module that you want to enable, and click Enable.

You can also delete custom modules completely from your Developer Portal site; see Deleting custom modules.
