Plone 3: Problems width hiding and reordering viewlets

[Gerhard Hug]

Hi

I have difficulties in handling the viewlets in plone 3.
To remove the site_actions from the portalheader i used the hidden node and
added the declaration "hidden manager" to viewlets.xml for my skinname as
described in the tutorial. It worked and the site_actions disappeared from
the header. Later on I decided to insert the site_actions again in the
header and removed the declaration "hidden manager" from the viewlets.xml.
But the site_actions didn't appear again in the header, even after
uninstall/install product and restart zope it is staying hidden.
It seems that the first changings in viewlets.xml are registered as a fixed
version which can not be changed any more (?).

Can anybody tell me how to handle this?
Thank you very much

Gerhard

Hi Gerard,

I had the same problem. It turns out you need to write a uninstall profile. I wrote a page on the wiki where I work that shows how. https://weblion.psu.edu/trac/weblion/wiki/PloneThreeUserInterfaceChanges  Good luck.

Hi I'm having the same issue it appears that after the initial install of the theme, any changes to the viewlets.xml file are completely ignored.   I followed the tutorial here: https://weblion.psu.edu/trac/weblion/wiki/PloneThreeUserInterfaceChanges  and created the uninstall procedure still getting nowhere when changing the viewlets.xml file.  The logo was changed as well as the footer just like in the tutorial,  I also moved the path_bar and the personal bar to the contentview manager using Professional Plone Development book examples.  I'm now showing 2 personal_bar and 2 path_bar  with no way of hiding the originals in the header.

Gentlemen, add remove="true" in the viewlet declarations that you wish to unhide or reorder. Then uninstall & reinstall your product. You should then see your changes take effect. Think of the "remove" as removing any previously imported order or hide instructions for that viewlet. For example:

  <hidden manager="plone.portalheader" skinname="My Theme">
    <viewlet name="plone.global_sections" remove="true" />
    <viewlet name="plone.logo" />
  </hidden>
