+1Hi there,
we would like to make our Ideation Area read-only for our end-users for about 10 days.
Does anybody know of a workaround of how to make that possible?
To prevent new comments, I guess we could close all Topics in Bulk through the API. Is that correct?
To prevent new ideas, is there any CSS snippet or Third Party Script that could prevent people from seeing the Idea button when creating a new topic?
Is there anything else you could think of?
Thanks in advance,
Dani

You’ll want to hide a few things related to ideas in the Create Topic page.
Here’s the CSS
/*start-- HIDE Idea option */
.qa-radio-button-topic-type-idea {
display:none;
}
/*end-- hide idea option */
/*hide-- Idea option from Create Post tooltip*/
.qa-topic-type .tooltip__content p:nth-of-type(3),
.qa-topic-type .tooltip__content label:nth-of-type(3){
display: none;
}
/*end-- hide*/
+4Hi
I think the workaround you described should cover it!
In order to hide the idea button in create a new topic, you can add something like:
.qa-radio-button-topic-type-idea {
display: none;
}Are you wanting to stop community members voting on ideas as well?
+1Hi Oliver,
Thank you so much! 🤩
Are you wanting to stop community members voting on ideas as well?
That is not as critical, but If we have the option, sure!
Do you have an idea?
+4I don’t think there’s a way of doing this without hiding the vote button (which includes the number of votes). So if you still want to display this then I don’t think it’s an option.
I just wanted to call this out to check it had been considered!

+7I was surprised that this wasn’t as simple as just adjusting permissions like other categories, so I added this idea:
+1Thank you so much
Question:
Do you know if it would be possible to also hide the “Reply Box” within Ideation through CSS?
Or would it be our best bet to “Close” all Ideation Topics in Bulk through some API Call? (https://api2-eu-west-1.insided.com/docs/community/#tag/Ideas/operation/toggleIdeaClosed)
Best,
Daniele
+7The API call would be the safest and cleanest way to do it.
I’m not great with CSS (just good at copy/pasting what support and others have helped me with previously) or using the Inspect tool in my browser.
But from what I can tell, the reply box seems to be the same for all topic types, meaning it’d be hard to target it to only ideas. There’s probably a way, but it’d get complicated and come with risks that it impacts other topic types.
If it were me, I’d do the bulk API call. Here’s a way you can do it (steps are similar, just a different API call):
+1Thank you so much
Question about the parameter “id”
do you know if it’s the public topic ID of the idea? (i.e. the last few digits at the end of the URL, e.g. for your newest idea it would be 25479)
… or is it the “idea ID” like a different kind of ID?
+7I’m not certain, but it feels like some API calls use one, some use the other. More often than not it’s the the content type ID (Idea ID in this case). But you should test.
