Disable Download data

[mrgamhong]

Hi
Is it possible to disable or hide the "Download data" button on the data.html page?
We would like to restrict this option.
Thanks in advance.

@mrgamhong there isn't a built in option, but it is pretty simple to edit them out. On the file "_layout/data.html" delete the line that looks like:
{% include data-download-modal.html %}

On your home page you will also want to remove the data download buttons, so on the file "_layout/home-infographic.html" delete the line that looks like:
{% include index/data-download.html %}

Those are the "includes" that pull in the download features on to those pages.

Thanks for your response.
I have implemented your solution and the download button has been removed but the Excel and CSV buttons are still visible.
How can I remove them as well?

Note, the Excel/CSV buttons on the datatable are for downloading the current view of the datatable (it will contain only what you have configured to display on the page, as filtered and sorted by the user).

You can remove that functionality by editing "_includes/js/table-js.html". Look for the lines:

// add download features
dom: 'B<"row mt-2"<"col-md-6"l><"col-md-6"f>>t<"row"<"col-md-6"i><"col-md-6"p>>', 
buttons: [ 'excelHtml5', 'csvHtml5' ],

and comment them out or delete,

// add download features
// dom: 'B<"row mt-2"<"col-md-6"l><"col-md-6"f>>t<"row"<"col-md-6"i><"col-md-6"p>>', 
// buttons: [ 'excelHtml5', 'csvHtml5' ],

The datatable won't add the buttons.

The code changes worked as suggested.
BTW. A big thank you for this wonderful software and the community support given.
Much appreciated.

Just add this CSS to your _custom.scss file (found in the _sass folder): div.dt-buttons { 1. 2. display: none; }
