Is it possible to hide an admin menu item from the left navigation bar ?

[hung-doan]

Currently, I'm able to add new custom admin menu.
However, I'm not able to remove some default menu.

For example:

• I want to remove the "New" menu item.
• I want to remove the "Content / Media Library" item.

Such menu items are registered by default enabled modules using INavigationProvider, so I think you can use NavigationBuilder to remove any menus so far

Thanks @hishamco , you save my life. I'm able to remove the default menu successfully.

NOTE/TIP :

• Making sure the dependencies in Manifest.cs is configured correctly. Otherwise, there would be no menu items in the NavigationBuilder.
  e.g I want to remove the menu item "New" from the "OrchardCore.Contents" module. Then we have to add "OrchardCore.Contents" to the Dependencies list. This configuration ensure that the menu items from required modules are initialized before executing our custom INavigationProvider

You can also hide them using css.

It works!

Share a code snippet which remove the Content and ``Design` menu items and their children.

            builder.Remove(i => i.Text.Name == "Content");
            builder.Remove(i => i.Text.Name == "Design");

 
           // or:

            builder.Remove(i => i.Text.Name == "Content" || i.Text.Name == "Design");

I'd like to remove some menu items into menu 'configuration'. I check class NavigationBuilder, found nothing to do with.

I tried to copy menuitems code from OC source code to my AdminMenu.cs.

Too complicated.

Now I found the easiest way is to js in Admin Theme Layout.cshtml:

#content,#themes ,#security { visibility: hidden; }

(function(){ 
  var target=$('#configuration').next(); 
  $('#content,#themes ,#security').parentsUntil('li').parent().prependTo(target).end().end().end().css('visibility','visible'); 
})();

I didn't notice that, but you rebuild the menu so the items can come from config file

I think doc is poor about menu. I check source code of builder and found no sth helpful. to meet my deadline, js is my best choice.

Feel free to contribute to our docs, if there's something need to be added

[scil]

Thank you. I have no much time to read source code to understand OC . What I could do is to share my js code to benifit others.
