[Building Sakai] Can Anyone help regarding Tools

[Sean Keesler]

It sounds like you want to "stealth" some tools globally (across all Sakai
site types). "Stealth"ed tools are available to add to sites via the "Sites"
tool, but not the "Site Info" or "Worksite Setup" screens. You can do that
by editing one of a few sakai.properties and restarting Sakai.

Optionally, you could make the tools available to some site types (ie:
portfolio and project sites) but hidden from others (ie: course sites) by
editing each tool's registry xml file.

A tidy litte slideshow from a previous conference presents the options for
hiding tools in Sakai can be found here:

> please let me know how to do it. where are the tools stored. and from where

> I must be missing something but i am unable to find where these tools are

> i am using the bin version of Sakai 2.7.0 release.
