I think that you can just create an initializationmodule, find the contenttype(using ContentTypeRepository) and set IsAvailable to false and save it.

Thanks Josef, it worked.

I added a module like this

[InitializableModule]
    [ModuleDependency(typeof(EPiServer.Web.InitializationModule))]
    public class DisableBuiltInContentTypesInitializationModule : IInitializableModule
    {
        public void Initialize(InitializationEngine context)
        {
            var contentTypeRepository = ServiceLocator.Current.GetInstance<IContentTypeRepository>();
            var customizedSearchBlock = contentTypeRepository.Load<CustomizedSearchBlock>();
            if (customizedSearchBlock != null && customizedSearchBlock.IsAvailable)
            {
                var clone = customizedSearchBlock.CreateWritableClone() as ContentType;
                clone.IsAvailable = false;
                contentTypeRepository.Save(clone);
            }
        }

        public void Uninitialize(InitializationEngine context)
        {
        }
    }

We have removed it as well. The "issue" has been around for a long time:

oh God, ServiceLocator.. ;)

Yes Valdis master of DI, please show me how to do it in a init module without that ;-)

I will buy you a beer if you show me....

Oh, I actualy can! Well it still somehow uses the servicelocator, but should still be more correct

[InitializableModule]
[ModuleDependency(typeof(EPiServer.Web.InitializationModule))]
public class DisableBuiltInContentTypesInitializationModule : IInitializableModule
{
    public void Initialize(InitializationEngine context)
    {
        var contentTypeRepository = context.Locate.Advanced.GetInstance<IContentTypeRepository>();
        var customizedSearchBlock = contentTypeRepository.Load<CustomizedSearchBlock>();
        if (customizedSearchBlock != null && customizedSearchBlock.IsAvailable)
        {
            var clone = customizedSearchBlock.CreateWritableClone() as ContentType;
            clone.IsAvailable = false;
            contentTypeRepository.Save(clone);
        }
    }

    public void Uninitialize(InitializationEngine context)
    {
    }
}

So the important part her, according to Quan Mai if I remember right, is to use the context to get get servicelocator to get the instance... wonder why that is important

I'm just trolling you guys, sorry. btw, `context.Locate.Advanced` is just a hideout for the ServiceLocator :)

but you got me hooked. i''ll look for a way to do this with DI.

at the end... free beer is free beer!!

And a quick fix (before you implement the code to hide it in your next sprint :D) to hide it, is to login to admin view:

Content types tab -> under block types -> click: customized search

• click settings
• uncheck 'Available in edit view'
• click 'Save'
