Ambox notice.png The latest version of this mod uses the guidelines for TNG v12+ cust_text.php files. If you are using TNGv12+, and any cust_text.php file in this mod is marked with a Bad Target error, you need to update your cust_text.php files before you can install this mod. [Show instructions]

If you upgraded to TNGv12+, and did not update your cust_text.php files as instructed in the upgrade readme script, then you must use the TNG Mod Manager to update them. To do so:

  1. Go to Mod Manager, and select its "Recommended Updates" tab.
    (If the "Recommended Updates" tab is not visible, then go to the Mod Manager Options tab, select "Display Settings", and turn on the "Recommended Updates" tab.)
  2. Click the "Update" button in the "Recommended Updates" tab.
    Installed mods do not interfere with the update, and if you already have (or think you may have) run this update, it will not hurt for you to run it again.

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.

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.
