[solved] How to hide the "Options" tab on the Edit Content page:

[wolphy]

I need to seriously restrict the editing options for a client and would like to hide the entire "Options" tab.  Is there an easy way to do this?

[Dee]

A very simple way to hide the tab (for all users though) would be to add this code to your /admin/themes/yourtheme/css/style.css

Code: Select all

div#editab1 { display: none }

@Dee,

I take it that will be the case for all the tabs that follow the editab1 as div?

@wolphy
I would say that the involved program is to be changed. Only when you are authorized, the tab would be shown. This means of course that you have to apply the change with every update.

It would only be in the site admin, since the admin stylesheet is edited.
I don't think is used anywhere else in the admin, only on the add/edit pages.

thanks Dee. nice easy solution.  i do wish there was more control in permissions for what non-techy clients can see (and/or change!).  most of the clients i work with need a simple, stripped down editing interface to update content and that's all.  it's frustrating when i have to comment out or use css to hide features from them and lose the ability to use these features myself as well.  obviously, i'm not techy enough to wallow in php and tweak permissions myself yet...
