Make a menu item invisible?

[techtr]

Hi everyone, using CSS or any other method, has anyone been able to make a menu item invisible without changing the user rights? I need this to use an info page as a landing page only without it being visible on the menu. I tried several options using the app settings, menu structure, menu configuration, the only for a menu item not to be visible to the user is to remove their rights. I need them to have the rights but not see it on the menu (except for the admin).

Any ideas? Thank you.

Yes

To hide entity you don't want to show (like an entity you already have in a report, like Kanban)

So you want it hidden but not for admin ?
Can you give me the info from tag in the menu (from page source code).

Yes, I want it hidden but not for admin.

I just sent you a private message with the code, I hope that is the right one.

Thank you very much.

Perfect, in your case :

- You can add this JS in Configuration, Custom HTML, Add code before tag </body>.
- Remember JS can be access with source of the page, so don't use confidential or privacy datas

For all users, you need to add code in a tag script "<script>CODE HERE</script>" :

Code: Select all

$('ul.sub-menu a.menu-extipagesview3').hide(); //3 is the id of information page IF in a sub-menu, IF not delete "ul.sub-menu" part

Just for admin, unfortunately, you can't add PHP in custom html.
Maybe you can hide this page in the menu (with custom HTML), and for admin add in Application Structure, Menu configuration, Add menu section with a Url type, and access to admins only.

At this time, I don't know another workaround, sorry.
Perhaps by modifying the php files.

Thank you, but unfortunately this did not work. Here is a screenshot of where I put it. Hope I did it correctly.

Also fyi, this is the url of the menu item that I am trying to hide.
...../index.php?module=ext/ipages/view&id=3
If this works, I can try a workaround as you suggested in your post. Thanks again.

why are you use User HTMl, if maybe use User CSS?

[Didou12]

Nruslan2 : Yes sometimes, but with DOM manipulation in the menu, CSS doesn't work, or maybe you have a workaround ? I tried several options and it doesn't work. Maybe how custom.css is loaded before others css for the menu.


Techtr : it works on my computer, it's JS so be sure to force the refresh of the page or to clean your browser, and tell me

Hi Didou12, I force refreshed pages, cleaned cache, tried on different browsers but unfortunately it is not working. Thank you.

Very weird. Can you provide me the source (in text) of the whole sidebar in PM ? (Normally there is a comment before and after the sidebar in the html code). Thanks.

I just did. Thanks again.
