I ran into a situation where a) I was working from an installation profile with lots of things exported, like the 'webform_node_types' variable, b) I renamed the content type so it's something more appropriate for the use case rather than "webform". However, there's no way to not create the Webform content type, webform_install() automatically installs it. It would be useful if there was a super, secret, hidden way to make Webform not create the content type.

damienmckennaHere's a patch for D7 that uses a new variable, "webform_create_content_type", that only lets the installer run if the variable is TRUE, which incidentally is the default. Limited use, but hopefully will help for a few use cases.

quicksketchThanks, although a crazy edge-case, I can see how I might want such a thing if I were building a distribution also.
I committed this patch but with a change. I renamed the variable to "webform_install_create_content_type", which is wildly verbose but having the word "install" in there makes it clear to me that this is something only needed during install.

alisonHi all,
I'd really like to set this variable so Webform module won't create the default webform content type, but I can't figure out how to do so. I figure I'd put
variable_setsomewhere, but I don't know where, and I'm striking out with trial-and-error so far.I have an install profile to work with, and a Feature with a custom content type, Webform as a dependency, and the webform_node_types variable (the content type is webform-enabled).
Thank you for your help!

damienmckenna@alisonjo2786: Add this line to your site's settings.php:
You could also use Drush:
drush vset webform_install_create_content_type FALSEComment #8
