Some hints on moving or hiding viewlet managers.

Viewlet managers are called by page templates. Moving or removing them is simply a case of customizing the template. Most are called by the main_template, but you may also need to look into specific content views for some of them.

Quick Cheat Sheet

Through the Web

  • Site Setup > Zope Management Interface > portal_skins > plone_templates or plone_content
  • Click the Customize button, and look for
    <div tal:replace="structure provider:[viewlet manager name]" />
  • (use the Elements key to identify exactly which manager you're interested in)

In your own product

  • Put your own version of main_template or of the content views in

    [your theme package]/skins.
