    • Modifying Application Menu

    Posted by gjames

    I want to modify the main Application menu so that certain Groups see a different set of selections.
    I have read a topic which provides the a solution, see below:-

    "If you check the Admin Menus page (click a menu's "options" icon), there are "Permissions" and "Group" columns for each menu item. Here you can set the permission necessary and the group(s) the permission applies to, for each menu item. In this way, you only need one menu, and its items are shown selectively according to the visibility you assign."

    The problem I'm having is once I select Admin>Menus>Application Menu nothing happens when I select the Edit icon ??? (logged in as admin).

    Also, how can I change/get rid of the 'Homepage' banner at the top of the Homepage ???

    Any help appreciated

    Are you trying to edit the menu (that is its name, description, type and folder icon) or trying to edit the menus's options?

    First, I would recommend creating a custom menu instead of modifying the base application menu (ID 42). Second, you want to edit the menu's options — not the menu itself.

    Please review the docsQuestion for details.

    On the Admin: Wiki page, turn off the the Title option (General Preferences tab, Page Display area). Please see the docs for full detailsQuestion.

    You can edit the App Menu with the same link(s) as My Menu but ending in 42.

    This is useful for say adding icons in place of those various missing ones that become green question marks (like Home), rather than trying to recreate the whole menu yourself.
