Hi Ben,

Let's see if you've already tried the easy solution first. The portal page for the wiki folder (the top page in the folder) has options for hiding unwanted web parts. For the labkey.org docs, you can see the close boxes I've circled in the attached screen shot.
  
Closing these web parts will eliminate the search and TOC web parts from all wiki pages in the folder, for all users.

Will this work for you?

Thanks,
Elizabeth

Hi Elizabeth,

thanks for the reply. the method you're describing i think works if you load the wiki through a portal page. something like:

https://xnight.primate.wisc.edu:8443/labkey/project/WNPRC/WNPRC_Units/Research_Services/Assay_Services/Public/begin.view?

if I loaded that specific wiki page as a webpart on this portal page I could remove those right-hand webparts as you describe. the problem with this fix is that each folder has one begin.view portal page. The URL above it attempting to link directly to just one wiki page. Ideally, I'd like to be able to link to each wiki page independently, without getting that extra right-hand stuff. Is there a different controller/action that can load a single wiki page?

Hi Ben,

You're right, removing the search and TOC web parts from the portal does not remove them from wiki sub-pages (beyond the portal).

I actually ran into this myself a while back and finally just moved the wiki page into a spot where it was okay to reveal the TOC. I should have remembered.

There is one trick you might try. If you're working on a file-based module, you should be able to include an HTML page that uses LABKEY.WebPart to display a web part that shows just the wiki main text. You'd use 'Wiki' as the partName.

The relevant docs:

Hi Elizabeth,

So are you basically saying it's not possible to directly display a wiki page by itself without also showing the TOC?

Unfortunately, I'm not the person who will be in charge of maintaining these pages, so ideally all updating would to be possible through the browser. i understand the idea of creating HTML wrapper files for displaying wiki pages, and maybe that's what it'll have to be, but it seems like an extra layer, only editable by the admin, that doesnt add much.

Thanks for looking into it.

Hi Ben,

Yes. Without an HTML workaround, right now you can only link to a wiki page that displays both itself and the TOC/Search web parts.

Could always add something different as a feature, but that's all that's available right now.

Thanks,
Elizabeth

Hi Ben,

It would be easy to make the HTML wrapper accept a URL parameter which is the name of the wiki page.

I've added a request to the issue list to support this in a future release:
