Removing specific page type from CI

Hi Gerard,

Have you tried the following in repository.config?

<IncludedObjectTypes>
    ...
    <ObjectType>cms.documenttype</ObjectType>
    ....
</IncludedObjectTypes>
...
<ObjectFilters>
    ...
    <ExcludedCodeNames ObjectType="cms.documenttype">CMS.Blog</ExcludedCodeNames>
    ...
</ObjectFilters>

Hi,

I think you need to exclude the page type like this:

<ExcludedCodeNames ObjectType="cms.documenttype">
  CMS.Blog;
</ExcludedCodeNames>

Hi Dmitry, Thanks for that quick response.

Yes I have tried this to no avail. All of the documents still get created when I "serialise all objects"

Ah, ok, got you now.

In this case I think excuding will work only by NodeAliasPath, not by type.

<ExcludedCodeNames ObjectType="cms.document">/Blog1/%;/Blog2/%</ExcludedCodeNames>

And I think the main reason for this is the following. Imagine this structure:

• Blog
  • Blog post 1
  • Blog post 2

If you exclude only Blog page type and leave blog posts to be serializable, this will bring an error during the deserialization. As the target system will not have a root node (Blog) hence it will not know where to insert child nodes. So I think NodeAliasPath with wildcard is the only option available for you.

Hi Gerard, I was wondering why you want to exclude page types using CI. I would typically remove all unwanted page types like CMS.Blog. Hope this helps!

Dmitry This is still serialising the items in that path...

Jeroen, We have a CRM integration in place that creates These pages dynamically per environment.

What version are you using? Could you post your full repository.config file?

v12.0.51 You can find it here: https://pastebin.com/cjWbyy8u
