Hide Product Menu for Users

[Marco Endres, modificado 7 Anos atrás.]

Hey guys,

Is ther an easy way to hide the Product Menu for normal users? It would be also okay, if the other menus are hidden, too.

Thank you

Marco

Hi Marco,

I believe the easiest way is through a custom theme. See the attached test theme that I have created that hides the Product Menu/Control Menu for Users.

Hello Jamie

That's the solution i needed. Thank you very much for the fast answer. It works fine

I changed your css a little bit because i need the margin-top: 0; always and not only when the dockbar is open.

Hello Scott

Yeah you can disable the productmenu only when it's not a admin. You can check it via Freemarker with .isOmniAdmin. You should also check for siteadmins.

Here:

In the init.ftl

<#assign permission_checker = themeDisplay.getPermissionChecker() />

<#assign is_group_admin = permission_checker.isGroupAdmin(group_id) />
<#assign is_omniadmin = permission_checker.isOmniadmin() />

<#assign show_dockbar = is_group_admin || is_omniadmin />

<#if show_dockbar>
    <#assign wrapper_class_name = "" />
<#else>
    <#assign wrapper_class_name = "hide-dockbar" />
<!--#if-->

In the portal-normal.ftl

	<#if show_dockbar>

		<@liferay_ui["quick-access"] contentId="#main-content" />

		<@liferay_util["include"] page=body_top_include />

		<@liferay.control_menu />

	<!--#if-->

Hi Marco, I am wanting to make these changes as well but cannot locate these files. Can you provide some direction on where these files rest so that I can update them as you suggest? Thanks!

[Marco Endres, modificado 6 Anos atrás.]

Hello Bradley

The init.ftl and portal_normal.ftl are generated files and you can override them when you place your own with the same folderstructure. To be totally correct you should place the variables inside of the init_custom.ftl, because you shouldn't touch the init.ftl because it changes sometimes and if you write it by yourself the changes from Liferay come not through. Check the build folder for more informations what gets generated.

Can we hide dockbar for REGULAR ROLES and custom SITE ROLES users? in freemarker theme

​​​​​​​
Thanks,

Just an idea for those who wish to hide the product menu. I recently use CSS position property to reposition the product menu so that it looks like it's part of my site's header (as opposed to an extra header that takes up vertical space, as it is by default). This way, when the admins log in, they see the product menu icons  as part of their website's header, while the product menu icons simply disappear when normal users log in.

Jason - very interesting! The product menu is so extensive, I'm trying to imagine how it would work as part of a horizontal header menu... Would you be able to show screenshots, or even better, provide your CSS code so we can test it ourselves? 

[Jason Chee, modificado 4 Anos atrás.]

This is roughly how I do it, but it's really up to you to experiment with the theme's css to achieve what you want.
