Restricting Course Format Options

Is it possible to restrict Course Format options when editing courses?  Currently the options include SCORM, Social, Topics and Weekly.  We would like to limit the options to just Topics and Weekly.  We are using 2.0 RC1.  Thanks for any help.

Dear Tammy,

In theory you just need to delete the relevant folders in /course/format to remove them.  I believe that the code knows what formats to use just by the contents of this folder.

Cheers,

Gareth

Dear Tammy,

I've just tried it on my development installation and it works.  For safety, I suggest zipping up the folder or moving the folder to a backup folder so you can always get it back.

Cheers,

Gareth
