Method to remove default Layout Templates that does not edit the liferay-layout-templates.xml

• Type: Feature Request
• Status: Closed
• Priority: Minor
• Resolution: Implemented in Platform
• Affects Version/s: 6.2.X EE
• Fix Version/s: None
• Component/s: Liferay Themes, Themes Infrastructure > Layout Templates
• Labels: None

Issue: At this time, the only method to remove the default Layout Templates that come in Liferay is to comment out the default Template entries in the liferay-layout-templates.xml. The issue with this is that with the installation of fixpacks, the file may be updated to no longer have the templates commented out.

It would be preferred if there was a Portal property of method in the GUI to disable Layout Templates in order to avoid the above scenario.
