Remove Campus Feature?

5

We are a single campus only. Is there a way to remove that feature/fields from the entire system?

    No, there isn't. Rock was built to be multi-campus and there's no way to "turn it off", so single-campus organization still need to have one campus (which you can easily rename from "Main campus" if you wish. There are likely other tricks you can do throughout the UI by hiding it with CSS if you really want to.

    Yeah, I have done some editing of blocks to disable as much as I could, but was hoping there was a single campus setting.

      I would be SUPER careful about editing blocks to remove campus... future updates of Rock will likely overwrite your changes. If you want to make your block changes permanent, then you'd need to COPY the blocks and register them as your own (which is easy), but THEN you run into the problem of never getting core changes to your blocks.


      I really don't think it's worth it, and you're better off leaving the block "campus aware" and using CSS to hide it if it bugs you that much.

      I am using a temp install right now to just evaluate Rock. Perhaps I am using the terminology incorrectly. For example, on the Person Profile page, I changed the block properties to not display campus under the person's name. Are you saying making a change like that is problematic?

      On a side note, I cannot figure out how to reply to a message on this forum as you just did. How do you do that?

        My apologies... when you said "editing of the blocks" I thought you meant actually editing the C# code the block is made from ;-) Yes, it's perfectly fine to use block settings to make them operate the way you want, within the constraints of the block's settings.

        Craig,

        As a single campus church, it's a bit of an irritation, but campus is something that comes up everywhere, and hiding it will probably cause more problems than it solves.  Groups need campuses, families need campuses (because they're groups), etc.

        Jim, I do not have the "Add Comment" link. Weird. At least I know I am not going crazy not being able to figure it out!

        Wonder if that link is only an option after being here for some amount of time or a certain amount of posts.
