I'm looking for a way to hide specific menu items for anonymous users under certain conditions. In particular, I serve a site for affiliates on several subdomains, and for certain subdomains (affiliates) I would like to hide the link to my 'about us' page which appears in a couple of menus.
I'm not overly bother about completely denying access to the 'about us' node, but appreciate that this might be one avenue to explore.
So far I've looked at:
* hook_menu_alter but this is only called when the menu tree is rebuilt and also I can't see how I would remove items only for a particular anonymous session.
* template_preprocess_menu_link : possible, but how to I tell the item not to render. I could add a class to the menu item that hides it, not particularly nice but it would work.
* hook_node_access : can't see how I would prevent access for only this session.
Any thoughts or pointers welcome.
[Edit]
To follow up on this, I have a solution working, but I'm not at all proud of it, there must be a nicer way. I'm using the 'hidden' class to add a css 'display:none' attribute to the list item.
function sil_affiliate_preprocess_menu_link(&$variables) {
$affiliate = get_affiliate_from_session();
if ($affiliate && !$affiliate->show_aboutus) {
$real_path = drupal_lookup_path('source','customerservice/aboutus');
if ($variables['element']['#original_link']['link_path'] == $real_path) {
$variables['element']['#attributes']['class'][] = 'hidden';
}
}
}
:wq

You can use the following code sample in your custom module. it implements hook_node_access (not tested)
function [YOUR_MODULE]_node_access($node, $op, $account)
{
if($account->uid == 0 && $op == "view" && $node->nid == 15)
{
return NODE_ACCESS_DENY;
}
}
Hope this works... Muhammad.

I have been working on a client's WordPress Website and last day my client want to hide navigation menu and pages from author/contributor categories.
I have searched and tried some of the plugin but didn't get the exact thing. Please let me know what should i use to hide some pages from user and from navigation.
Only Admin can see all the pages and other members should see only 1 section that is allowed to visible for them.
Thank You
use this plugin to manage All roll:
http://wordpress.org/plugins/user-role-editor/
Here is the Complete function for removing each Menu and submenu from wp-admin for another user:
function remove_menus() {
global $menu, $submenu;
$restricted = array(__('Dashboard'), __('Profile'), __('Users'), __('Tools'), __('Comments'), __('Settings'), __('Plugins')); //Here you can also define the name like Pages
end($menu);
while (prev($menu)) {
$value = explode(' ', $menu[key($menu)][0]);
if (in_array($value[0] != NULL ? $value[0] : "", $restricted)) {
unset($menu[key($menu)]);
}
}
unset($menu[5]); // this is just for example
unset($submenu['edit.php'][16]); // this is just for example
}
Now You have to put a conditon for other user i.e:
$thisusername = $current_user->user_login; // this is to get the current user login
if (($thisusername == "user123")) {
add_action('admin_menu', 'remove_menus');
}
Note: You can find many plugins but all of them are not in depth like this code.Well you can try this plugin to manage your user's roles.Capability Manager Plugin
I am working on a module where i have a page that must have no regions or extra content. A kind of "please wait" page.
How do i diable all extra content (regions menus...etc) ? i think Panels has this ability but i can't find the snippet it uses.
On another hand is it possible for a module to specify a special custom page ? like the maintenance-page for example ?
The page.tpl.php method is not flexible. It is based on a presentation logic. You should use hook_page_alter() for a business logic solution. For example:
function yourmodulename_page_alter(&$page) {
if (current_path() == 'node/add/yourcontenttype') {
unset($page['sidebar_first']);
}
}
Also look at very powefull Context module.
You can create a an extra page.tpl.php specifically for the page where you want to hide the regions. The naming principle is similar to the one for nodes.
Let's say you have a page with the url example.com/content/contact. A template named page--content--contact.tpl.php would serve that page and any page that starts with that url, i.e. the page example.com/content/contact/staff would also use that template (I think).
Check the classes of the body element for clues to what you can name your template, most themes will print that. In my example above, the body element would include the class page-content-contact.
Only thing i can think of is writing checks in your page.tpl.php file to see if you on that "page" your talking about and not printing out the regions/menus, or use a different template. http://drupal.org/node/223440
If you want to do this before the blocks are rendered:
/**
* Implements hook_block_list_alter()
*
* Hides the right sidebar on some pages.
*/
function THEME_NAME_block_list_alter(&$blocks) {
// This condition could be more interesting.
if (current_path() !== 'node/add/yourcontenttype') {
return;
}
// Go through all blocks, and hide those in the 'sidebar_second' region.
foreach ($blocks as $i => $block) {
if ('sidebar_second' === $block->region) {
// Hide this block.
unset($blocks[$i]);
}
}
}
Note: Interestingly, this hook seems to work no matter if you have it in your theme or in a module.
(Please correct me if I'm wrong)
I am using WordPress, and I want to remove "profile" menu-option completely
Any one is having idea how can I achieve this?
Thanks
For the sake of completeness, here's how to do it programmatically...
// Run the function on admin_init
add_action('admin_init', 'remove_profile_menu');
// Removal function
function remove_profile_menu() {
global $wp_roles;
// Remove the menu. Syntax is `remove_submenu_page($menu_slug, $submenu_slug)`
remove_submenu_page('users.php', 'profile.php');
/* Remove the capability altogether. Syntax is `remove_cap($role, $capability)`
* 'Read' is the only capability subscriber has by default, and allows access
* to the Dashboard and Profile page. You can also remove from a specific user
* like this:
* $user = new WP_User(null, $username);
* $user->remove_cap($capability);
*/
$wp_roles->remove_cap('subscriber', 'read');
}
I know this is late but I just stumbled on this and thought I would add to it. That does remove the sub-menu profile menu item but does not remove the menu profile item. For someone like me who has created a completely custom profile page, I don't want my users to access the profile.php page at all. So this code will work for that:
function remove_profile_menu() {
remove_submenu_page('users.php', 'profile.php');
remove_menu_page('profile.php');
}
add_action('admin_menu', 'remove_profile_menu');
And if you only want to do this for certain capabilities....use this code:
function remove_profile_menu() {
// Only the Admin can see the profile menu
if(!current_user_can('update_core')) {
remove_submenu_page('users.php', 'profile.php');
remove_menu_page('profile.php');
}
}
add_action('admin_menu', 'remove_profile_menu');
You can use the current_user_can() function to determine who you want to see the menu items.
Profiless plugin does that on the subscriber-level.
If you wish to do that for other groups, you should probably use it in combination with Capability manager plugin.
Can I hide the
Edit | View
tabs on top of each node ?
I've searched for this option in theme settings (both global and standard theme but I couldn't find it).
I still want to be able my customer to edit / administer content, so I cannot just remove the permission for it.
thanks
here is a very easy solution for you. (Drupal 7)
Open your page.tpl.php in your current template and search for the $tabs variable.
Remove the render code if you want to hide it completely.
If you want to display it only to administrators use this code
<?php if ($tabs and $is_admin): ?>
<div class="tabs">
<?php print render($tabs); ?>
</div>
The above code checks if the user is administrator. If it is it will render the tabs. If not it wont render them.
This really is a presentational thing, not a functionality thing, so it should be done at the theme level.
The problem with overriding theme_menu_local_tasks() is that you override/take a hatchet to the entire local task display, when you really just want to get in there with a scalpel to remove two specific local tasks. So, you need to get a little more specific.
theme_menu_local_tasks() gets the current page's local tasks and passes them to menu_local_tasks(). Here, two theme functions are used:
theme_menu_item_link(), which gets the link markup for the task
theme_menu_local_task(), which gets the <li> element for the task.
So, you can get rid of the View and Edit local tasks in a really robust way by overriding theme_menu_item_link() and theme_menu_local_task() to include your check for them:
function mytheme_menu_item_link($link) {
// Local tasks for view and edit nodes shouldn't be displayed.
if ($link['type'] & MENU_LOCAL_TASK && ($link['path'] === 'node/%/edit' || $link['path'] === 'node/%/view')) {
return '';
}
else {
if (empty($link['localized_options'])) {
$link['localized_options'] = array();
}
return l($link['title'], $link['href'], $link['localized_options']);
}
}
function mytheme_menu_local_task($link, $active = FALSE) {
// Don't return a <li> element if $link is empty
if ($link === '') {
return '';
}
else {
return '<li '. ($active ? 'class="active" ' : '') .'>'. $link ."</li>\n";
}
}
This way, you're relying on the menu router path, not modifying the menu router item, and achieving the result you want with minimal changes to core functionality or theming.
On the module side, you could do something that decouples the Edit's menu entry from the local tasks for the node:
function custom_menu_alter(&$items) {
$items['node/%node/edit']['type'] = MENU_CALLBACK;
}
The edit path is still there, but now it is not associated with the View tab. This includes the edit page itself--no View tab there.
there is a module for that: tab tamer allows to hide or disable tabs and rename them as well.
I use the following in template.php by theme (which is perhaps a little hacky, I feel I should be considering unsetting $tabs instead):
function THEME_NAME_menu_local_tasks() {
return '';
}
Or you could ommit:
if ($tabs) echo $tabs;
from your page.tpl.php...
View and Edit are functional features. They have a reason for being there.
The best way to "remove" them, is to "remove" that functionality alltogether. After all: why remove the interface of a piece of functionality, but not the functionality itself?
Besides, simply not printing the tabs, does not remove the url endpoints. In other words: if you don't print the edit tab, people can still access the edit page.
Again: best is to remove that functionality: The fact that you don't want the edit tab, sounds as if you don't want the edit functionality for certain users.
If so, then just remove that permission for that role. That is all. The tabs will be gone.
If, however, you simply wish to display these tabs differently, Drupal is your friends. As you may have noticed, they are called local tasks and not tabs. That is because the theme decides how to render them: The theme is the thing that decides to show them as tabs.
Simply override the theme_menu_local_tasks() to create your own HTML for the "local-tasks". And in your page-tpl, simply move the $tabs variable around to a place, where you want them.
But again: Don't try to change the behavior of the app, by removing interface-elements. That is not the right thing to do: you should change the behavior, in order to change the behavior :)
For all the people stumbling upon this question while looking for a D7 solution: As stated on https://drupal.stackexchange.com/a/77964/15055 it's hook_menu_local_tasks_alter()
/**
* Implements hook_menu_local_tasks_alter() to unset unwanted tabs
*/
function MYMODULE_menu_local_tasks_alter(&$data) {
foreach ($data['tabs'][0]['output'] as $key => $value) {
if ($value['#link']['path'] == 'node/%/view') {
unset($data['tabs'][0]['output'][$key]);
}
}
}
This is not the answer to the question of what the author asked. But somehow it might be useful for others user who facing the similar problem with me. Please let me know if this is not suitable to put in here.
I get the answer from #grayside and modified a bit to hide the view | edit tab from node based on the content type I want.
function MYMODULE_menu_alter(&$items) {
$items['node/%node/view']['access callback'] = 'MYMODULE_disable_node_view';
$items['node/%node/view']['access arguments'] = array(1);
}
function MYMODULE_disable_node_view($node){
if($node->type == 'product'){
return false;
}
}
product is the machine name of my content type, I don't want anywant to access it including root user.
The simplest solution to hide the tabs is to add this class in your theme css
.tabs{ display:none;}
Thanks for the last answer. But be aware of this detail: if you try it as-is it cannot work: literals should be just rounded with " or ', not both of them altogether. So it should be:
/**
* Implements hook_menu_local_tasks_alter() to unset unwanted tabs
*/
function MYMODULE_menu_local_tasks_alter(&$data) {
foreach ($data['tabs'][0]['output'] as $key => $value) {
if ($value['#link']['path'] == "node/%/view") {
unset($data['tabs'][0]['output'][$key]);
}
}
}
Once taken care of it, it works :)
D8 solution: If you want to hide all "local" tabs on certain pages, remember that "Tabs" is listed in the block library: find it in the "Content" region and exclude by content type, page URL or user role.
I have a Drupal 6.14 site with Views module. I have a view and on the primary links I put a link to the view.
There is a way to hide the link in the primary menu only if the view is empty?
You could probably do this either via a theme or module implementation of preprocess_page (THEMENAME_preprocess_page(&$vars) or MODULENAME_preprocess_page(&$vars)), but mac above is correct in that views are not known to be empty or not until they are run, so there will be a performance hit.
Within the function, you should have access to the structured primary links array, so you can run the view:
$view = views_get_view('view_name');
// Swap out 'default' for a different display as needed. Also, $args are arguments, and can be left out if not applicable.
$output = $view->preview('default', $args);
if (empty($view->result)) {
// The view has no results, alter the primary links here to remove the link in question.
}
I am ready to be contradicted any moment as I never implemented anything like that, however I am under the impression that since views are essentially queries against the DB, you can't actually know if a view is empty until you actually invoke it.
Consider that - given you are speaking about primary links (shown on nearly every page of your site) this might be a serious performance hit, depending on the complexity of the view and on its "cacheability".
You should also consider whether the content of that view can be changed by other users browsing the site at the same time that "our" user: should the view become populated after "our" user has loaded the page, "our" user won't ever know.
As on how to achieve what you want, please see the accepted answer.
HTH!
I override views_embed_view() to only provide output if there is content, and then call my override from the theme layer:
function mymodule_embed_view($name, $display_id = 'default') {
// handle any add'l args (this hook supports optional params)
$args = func_get_args();
array_shift($args);
if (count($args)) {
array_shift($args);
}
$view = views_get_view($name);
$output = $view->preview($display,$args);
if ($view->result) {
return $output;
}
}
Then in the template file:
<?php
$view = mymodule_embed_view('view_name');
if (strlen($view) > 0) {
print $view;
}
?>
