Removing the Default File Type from the "Add New Item" Menu

by xenophon — last modified 2005-09-15 19:19

I installed Ingeniweb's PloneExFile and AttachmentField products in order to be able to index certain uploaded file types. Now, I want to remove the default "File" (CMFFile) type from the "Add New Item" menu in order to reduce any confusion on the part of my end users over which "File" menu entry they should choose. To do so, I deleted the default "File" type from the Plone instance's portal_types list.

  1. Access the Plone ZMI.
  2. Click the portal_types link.
  3. (optional) Export the File type by checking the box next to File and clicking Import/Export. Click the Export button to save the File type to disk.
  4. Delete the File type by checking the box next to File and clicking Delete.
