How to remove Help Button from footer of the Portal page?

Environment

API Developer Portal v5.2

Resolution

Work-around to hide Help button from Home page in Portal 5.2 GA.

Run "docker ps | grep dispatcher" command.

Copy the containerid for docker_dispatcher container.

1. docker cp <portal_dispatcher_containerID>:/www/data/publish/static/js/main.js .
2. Make another safe copy for main.js
3. Open main.js and search for FooterHelpButton, first instance looks like this FooterHelpButton:{backgroundColor:""
4. Modify it to FooterHelpButton:{display:'none',backgroundColor:""
5. Save the file.
6. docker cp main.js <portal_dispatcher_containerID>:/www/data/publish/static/js/

NOTE: This work-around is NOT persistent, if the portal_dispatcher container is restarted, this change will be lost.

If you need a permanent fix, please upgrade to Portal 5.2.2 and make use of Settings('HELP_BUTTON_LINK_URI') option.
