Hide a component template

If you don't want a template to show up in the Available Templates list that users see when they create components, you can hide it. This is recommended instead of deleting the template in case you want to use it later. You can hide any existing template regardless of whether it's a built-in template provided by Inspire or one you've created.

You must have permission to create templates.

  • Only users with the following permissions can create templates:
    • Administrator permissions.
    • Access to the Content Browser module, and listed as a user for the can_create_template property.
    • Access to the Content Browser module, and belonging to a role that listed for the can_create_template property.
  • If you are an administrator, to grant permissions, refer to Allow users to create a template.

Even if you don't have permissions to create a template, you can still access a component's Details and add or remove the Template property.

To hide an existing component template:
  1. Click Components_TopMenuOpt Components.
  2. In the Folders pane, navigate to the folder where you've saved the component.
  3. In the Components pane, select the component you want to open, right-click, and then select Details...
    Note: You can also open component details by clicking the Options menu and selecting Details.
  4. Click the Properties tab.
  5. In the Property Name list, next to Template, click the remove button.
  6. On the Properties tab, click Save.
    The next time a user creates a component, they won't see your template in Available Templates.
