Changing the default setting

To modify the setting to this configuration parameter, add one of the following lines to your "LocalSettings.php" file after the enableSemantics() call:

Disable the display of subobjects

To disable a specific feature e.g. that subobjects should be shown just redefine the configuration parameter by defining it without including the corresponding constant as shown in the above section on available options:

$smwgFactboxFeatures = SMW_FACTBOX_CACHE | SMW_FACTBOX_PURGE_REFRESH | SMW_FACTBOX_DISPLAY_ATTACHMENT;

or alternatively remove the option from the existing definition of the configuration parameter like e.g.

$smwgFactboxFeatures = ( $smwgFactboxFeatures & ~SMW_FACTBOX_DISPLAY_SUBOBJECT );

  Note: Please use parentheses4 when combining different bit-operations to avoid a possible mismatch.

Removing all factbox related features

To remove all factbox related features just replace all constants with the one as shown below:

$smwgFactboxFeatures = SMW_FACTBOX_NONE;
