Remove the default set of portlets in user dashboard

Plone Support
1

In Plone 5. The user dashboard is initialized with two user portlets, a portlets.News and a portlets.Recent.
How to change this behavior ?

In my use case, I never use user portlet. The dashboard contains only group portlets.

Hope that helps.

list_dashboards = ('plone.dashboard1', 'plone.dashboard2','plone.dashboard3', 'plone.dashboard4')
group_id = group.id
user_id = member.id

for name in list_dashboards:

    column = getUtility(IPortletManager, name=name)
    
    if column is not None:
    
        # Begin Delete Group Portlets on the Dashboard
    
        category = column.get(GROUP_CATEGORY, None)

Thank you @1letter

It is possible to override the set of default dashboard portlets (at least in plone 5.1) by overriding the DefaultDashboard adapter from plone.app.portlets/plone/app/portlets/dashboard.py

example:

@implementer(IDefaultDashboard)
class DefaultDashboard(object):
    """The default default dashboard.
    """
    adapts(IPropertiedUser)

    def __init__(self, principal):
        self.principal = principal

    def __call__(self):
        return {
            'plone.dashboard1': (favorites.Assignment(), ),
            'plone.dashboard2': (),
            #'plone.dashboard2': (portlets.recent.Assignment(), ),
            'plone.dashboard3': (),
            'plone.dashboard4': (),
        }

and in overrides.zcml:

<configure
    xmlns="http://namespaces.zope.org/zope"
    xmlns:plone="http://namespaces.plone.org/plone"
    xmlns:i18n="http://namespaces.zope.org/i18n"
    xmlns:zcml="http://namespaces.zope.org/zcml"
    i18n_domain="ufm.intranet">

    <adapter factory=".dashboard.DefaultDashboard" />

</configure>
