Hiding Index Templates In MT

Vote 0 Votes

Quick question here. I'm having to make a ton of custom XML feeds for some things I'm working on. I'm creating these templates under Index Templates and am setting them to publish via the Publishing Queue. We have tons of custom modules going on in our system and the list of templates when you go to Design - Templates, is growing and growing. When I have to add 20-25 new individual feed templates, it's really going to start cluttering the Blog Templates - Index Templates area.

Is there any easy way to create new Index Templates but set them to not necessarily automatically show in the templates area so I don't clutter it up too bad? Any recommendations here? Thanks!

  • I would recommend you to label them like say:

    XML - Something
    or:
    XML: Something

    That way, in one hand they will be self explanatory and on the other they will be at the end of the list.

    I'm using this simple technique myself when I have to create many templates for a project.

If you need to share template code, replace all the "<" signs with "&lt;" or use this utility.
