[Deploying Sakai] Disabling a Samigo question type?

[David Adams]

Nevermind, found it myself:

In sam/samigo-app/src/webapp/WEB-INF/faces-config.xml, there are
settable properties for each question type that can be enabled or
disabled. Works fine. I'm guessing there's a way to configure
this as a Spring property via sakai.properties as well.
