How to change the default menu of backend with plugins?
I just found a way to add a menu, but I want to change the settings menu, for example: change the link to another link of backend preferences
, or simply delete it. i.e.
Can be do it through the plugin? I need any directions. thanks!
You can listen to the backend.menu.extendItems
event to change menu items.
Example, changing the label text for the Settings
menu:
class Plugin extends PluginBase
{
public function boot()
{
\Event::listen('backend.menu.extendItems', function($manager) {
$manager->addMainMenuItems('October.System', [
'system' => [
'label' => 'Settings label modified to a new text',
'icon' => 'icon-users',
]
]);
You could also remove the Settings
menu:
$manager->removeMainMenuItem('October.System', 'system');
More details here: https://octobercms.com/docs/plugin/extending#extending-backend-menu
@rafael15889 you can access the current logged in user and apply your own conditions to test if that user should or not see the settings menu.
Example:
\Event::listen('backend.menu.extendItems', function($manager) {
$user = \BackendAuth::getUser(); // get the logged in user
if ($user->anyUserModelPropertyYouWouldLikeToCompare == 'your value') {
// removes settings menu
$manager->removeMainMenuItem('October.System', 'system');
}
});
