SOLVED Hide the home menu item

  • SOLVED Hide the home menu item

    Posted 13 years 1 month ago
    • Hello people.

      In my website, there's a "Home" menu item which is ofcourse the default item (joomla 1.7). Thing is, I want to hide it from the menu, because I want the user to use the logo to navigate to the homepage...

      Any ideas on how to achieve this?

      I'm using the Modulus template if that's relevant.

      thanks!

    • You could try and hide it using CSS. I need to see a link to your site to try. Thanks.
    • The difficult we do immediately, the impossible takes a little longer.

      Hi, having the same problem.

      I searched for solutions to this but could not get clear answers.
      I could not also find link to submit a new post so apologies for posting here.

      I am using Nexus on J1.7

      I assume I must add a custom class line in the css to hide this specific menu item.

      the menu item I wish to hide is called rg-home, I wish to make this the default page (link to through the logo) but not appear in the menu bar.

      what code should I use and which css template should I insert it and where?

      Nabeel. (Novice but ready to play..)

    • The easiest way to achieve this is to create on dummy menu in menu manager. In that menu, create your Home page link and make it to be default for the web site. For your main menu, publish your menu with all the rest of the menu items that you would like to have on your web site.

      That way, you will have your Home page loaded when someone visits your site and you will be able to link your home page by clicking on the logo

      Thanks that did the trick,
      Just added a menu item (named home-hidden) in a new menu (named hidden2) and made this menu item the default and set to display a welcome article using nexus template.
      The menu I wanted to show (mainmenu) is selected in the template settings and so when it calls the nexus template, the hidden2 menu and home-hidden item just does not appear, leaving a clean mainmenu as desired!

      Logo links to the home-hidden item too.

      Brilliant. :D

    • Hello,
      This is old I know, but wanted to add my two cents to this as it came up on a google search to hide the home button. It can also act as a knowledge link for me in future (I'm always loosing my bookmarks) 8)

      As per this link, forum.joomla.org/viewtopic.php?p=2456180 I used a CSS entry in the template custom file which fixed this.

      Used it on Joomla 3.1.5 with Corvus template.

      li.item1 {display:none;} where item1 is the number of your home menu item.

      hope it helps.
