Notes

NOTE for TNG 15 users

There is no version compatible with TNG15. Most Mod functionalities have been integrated into TNG15.

Purpose of the mod

This TNG modification offers you to manage all TNG menus at your convenience.

Developer

This mod was developed by Michel Kirsch from Charleroi - Hainaut - Belgium.

Introduction

From an easy-to-handle parameter sheet in Administration >> Setup, choose to show or hide the sub-menus you want, regardless of the template or media types you use.

For each type of user, decide whether or not they will see the menus you want to hide from other users.

IMPORTANT: 
By default, NO menu is hidden for the Administrator.
If you don't want to see some menus anymore, don't forget to change the option "Hide by User Type" >> "Administrator" : from "Show" to "Hide".

IMPORTANT: 
if you change your Collections of media (add a new Collection or delete an unused Collection), follow these steps:
1. Uninstall the Mod.
2. MANUALLY delete or rename the file "menu_manager_vars.php" from your subdirectory "extensions".
3. Reinstall the Mod.
Note that in this case, your old choices will be reset to their default values.

Incidentally, this means that if you want a collection of "secret things" that can only be accessed by you, this Mod can help!

*This Mod replace the Hide_Google_Search_Buttons which is not compatible with this one.

*Users of the Broad Search mod mod should carefully read the "Known Problems" section. 

*Users of the Public Access Control mod should carefully read the "Known Problems" section. 


Tests
 Rob Severijns, Ron, Rob Roy,  Jean-Louis and many others.

Thanks for all their tests, ideas and comments to achieve this version !

Thanks to DeepL for some translations...

Requirements
* A working TNG installation.
* A backup of all affected files (see the list in the summary to the right)
* An installed current version of the Mod Manager.
* Both English and English-UTF8 folders be on your site

The different sections of the parameters sheet.



The users options section.

IMPORTANT !
Each type of user can have permission or not to see the hidden menu. 

If you, as Admin, don't want to see the hidden menu, you have to set the "Administrator" parameter on "Hide"



The media menu section.

The menu for the user's collection "Death Certificates" is now hidden. 

In the right column, the representation of the menu disappear, indicating that this menu is no longer displayed.



An example : http://Delvee.org.
