core blocks

Permalink 2 users found helpful
Newbie strikes again. I'm setting up a site, not a blog. I don't want Contact Us or Guestbook to appear anywhere. If I DELETE those blocks from my actual pages I presume they will still be available on CORE BLOCK options, if I change my mind and want them back later. Is that true? (Certain things are gone forever if deleted, others aren't, which is confusing.)

Yes, They'll still be available.

The 'Contact us' page is using the standard 'Form' add-on and the 'Guestbook' page is using the 'Guestbook' add-on. Both come prepackaged with your standard C5 install.

You can delete the blocks that use these add-ons from any page, and they'll still be available for use again. i.e- Deleting the block from the page, doesn't delete the add-on from the add-ons directory.

But if you don't want the 'Guestbook' and the 'Contact Us' pages to to be shown, you can always change the permissions to reflect that; then make them visible to the public at a later date.

1. Go to the respective pages
2. Hover over 'Edit' and..
3. Select 'Permissions'
4. Deselect 'Guest' to hide the page from guest users.
