Hide tabs from admin navigation
Hi, i am (more or less) fooling around with admin side plugins (and writing them) and wonder, if there is any easy way to hide (but not remove) single tabs from admin side navigation. I can’t seem to be able to target the files tab, for instance.
CSS is not working, as tabs don#t seem to have unique #ids.
Any insights are greatly appreciated.

Sorry to answer my own question, but smd_tabber v0.11 really does very good already.

You’re right; not easy. Best way I can think of is with jQuery. If you’re using a Remora-style theme, you could try this approach in a suitable <script> block (there’s a nice document.ready block at the top of Remora already that you could hijack in the html_head() function) :
$("#nav li a[href='?event=file']").parent().hide();Someone else can no doubt improve on this solution but in the meantime I hope it helps.
EDIT: or create a new tab with smd_tabber as you found :-)

Thanx Stef, smd_tabber is a blast, actually.
Thanx for the jquery suggestion.
I wasn’t deriving my theme from Remora, so instead i managed to apply an individual css #id to any of the tabs’ tds by referencing the name of the event they link to.
So now i just go display:none; by td id in the top navigation.
Sweet :)
Thanx for discussion in any case!

Good show.

We should probably do something like that in the core one day.

I would support this, of course. I would even supply the patch (or actually the alteration of the theme.php) to the developers list, but have no idea about your (CSS ID) naming conventions. Now i simply used id="css-[event]"

I use bot_privs to hide single tabs and sub-tabs.
