Uninstall Viewlets

Reply Threaded

Hi I'm new to Plone and I'm struggling to get my viewlets to uninstall. Could someone please post the uninstall viewlets.xml if this is my install:

<object>
  <order manager="plone.htmlhead.links" skinname="My Theme" based-on="Plone Default"> 
      <viewlet name="my.fav_icon" insert-before="*" />
  </order>
  <order manager="plone.portalfooter" skinname="My Theme" based-on="Plone Default"> 
    <viewlet name="my.theme.footer" />   
  </order>
  <order manager="plone.portalheader" skinname="My Theme">
        <viewlet name="viewlets.MyTabs" />
  </order>
  <hidden manager="plone.portalheader" skinname="My Theme">
      <viewlet name="plone.global_sections" />
  </hidden>
  <hidden manager="plone.portalfooter" skinname="My Theme"> 
    <viewlet name="plone.footer" />
    <viewlet name="plone.colophon" />
  </hidden>
</object>

Hello,

My understanding is that the "purge" command should work:

http://plone.org/documentation/tutorial/customizing-main-template-viewlets/r
eordering-and-hiding-viewlets/

I haven't personally tried it, though.

Cheers,

Yes I saw those links from a Google search. They didn't contain the info I needed.

'Purge' did not cleanly uninstall everything. It kept leaving my viewlets in tact along with the original Plone theme.

Here's the answer I was searching for.
The stumbling block was that hidden remove="True" means "Show It".
Not the most intuitive thing in the world but I've got it working.

<hidden manager="plone.portalheader" skinname="My Theme" >
<viewlet name="plone.global_sections" remove="True" />
<viewlet name="my.tabs" />
</hidden>

<hidden manager="plone.portalfooter" skinname="My Theme" >
<viewlet name="plone.footer" remove="True" />
<viewlet name="plone.colophon" remove="True" />
<viewlet name="my.theme.footer" />
</hidden>

<hidden manager="plone.htmlhead.links" skinname="My Theme" >
<viewlet name="plone.links.favicon" remove="True" />
<viewlet name="my.fav_icon" />
</hidden>
