Simplifying Menu Manager

When you want to add a new menu item - does it annoy you that you see a whole lot of choices that you don't want to make.

Or clients want to click "articles" instead of FLEXIcontent? Who uses weblinks? Tags?

Hide them all or only some:



Here's my fix:
1. In administrator/templates/isis/html/ - copy the zip file folder structure into the html folder.
2. Find the offending section you want to remove and remove it with css:
3. Inspect the element you want to remove and find the css class:
eg Users Manager - the corresponding css will be:
h-usersmanager
3. To get you started this is already added:

Add or remove whatever you like in the file.

great propose maybe include in core ?

Hi,

I have revised this file to simplify menu manager.

In the Outer Menu Options:




Then for each of the inner options:

i didn't think its a good idea ... we can't hide other component with css... if user want to do it he need to desactived component its better

I find it easier to use as its not possible to deactivate com_articles or tags. Plus all my clients need to do is add FLEXIcontent Content item.

It's based on hick's law:

The time it takes to make a decision increases with the number and complexity of choices.

I believe strongly in building client templates:

So - hiding choices they're not going to use makes sense to me. Its not for default Joomla users or administrators.

yes i know this ... but we can't oblige user ... or maybe an option to load css ( a plugin can be cool)
