Content Tabs

In Plone v2.x:

• Template: global_contentviews
  • Located: [site]/portal_skins/plone_templates
• CSS: .contentViews, .contentViews li, .contentViews li a, .contentViews .selected a, .contentViews li a:hover, and .actionItems li
• Located: [site]/portal_skins/plone_styles/plone.css

In Plone v3.x:

• Template: plone.contentviews
  • Located: [site]/portal_view_customizations
• CSS: .contentViews, .contentViews li, .contentViews li a, .contentViews .selected a, .contentViews li a:hover, and .actionItems li
• Located: [site]/portal_skins/plone_styles/authoring.css

Additional Information:

The tabs can be disabled; however, they are defined in a few areas and are content-dependent.

To disable the Contents tab:

In Plone v2.x:

• Navigate to [site]/portal_actions

  Note

  You will see two actions with the name Contents and the ID folderContents, but the categories are different: category object controls whether it shows up for content other than Folder, and Category folder controls whether it shows up when you're viewing a Folder.

• Uncheck Visible?
• Click Save at the bottom of the form

In Plone v3.x:

• Navigate to [site]/portal_actions
• Click object
• Click folderContents (Contents), or the name of any other tab object you wish to disable (Syndication, Rules, Sharing, etc.)
• De-select the Visible? check box
• Click Save Changes

The rest of the tabs in Plone v2 are different for each content type. As an example, we'll disable them for a document:

Note

The others are basically the same.

• Navigate to [site]/portal_types

Note

You'll see all the different content types listed.

• Click on Document
• Click the Actions tab at the top
• Uncheck Visible? next to the name of any tab you don't want displayed for document objects
  
• Click Save at the bottom of the form

Note

A common change requested by Plone users and administrators is to modify the text case of tabs (e.g., change the text so that it appears in Title Case lettering instead of in all lowercase). This is easily accomplished by changing the value of the textTransform property from lowercase to none in base_properties.
