Hide header elements script no longer works

[Todd Winton]

Using the below script, I previously hid the entire header bar for a specific user.  However this is no longer working.  I do not know when it stopped working.  Is there something that has changed or that I need to change to the script?

<script>
AJS.toInit(function(){
if (AJS.params.remoteUser == 'ctsidocs'){
AJS.$("#space-tools-menu-trigger").hide();

AJS.$('#action-menu-link').hide();
AJS.$('#children-section').hide();
AJS.$('#shareContentLink').hide();
AJS.$('#likes-section').hide();
AJS.$('#labels-section').hide();
AJS.$('#watch-content-button').hide();
}
});
</script>

Hi @Todd Winton 

Which version of Confluence are you using? Did you make any recent changes?

Cheers

[Todd Winton]

7.2.2

The only change I have made is to disable TLS 1.1 and 1.0.  Can't really say if that was working before then or not.  

[Vitor LC]

I wasn't sure if the IDs and class names were still the same in version 7 but I've tested the script now in Confluence 7.3 and it works.

The code is correct and I take you have it implemented in the Custom HTML. Have you tried debugging it with your browser Dev tools? Have you tested it in more than one browser?

I tested the macro in the 7.5.0 version in the html macro and it works.

Good for a user macro with a selection function for the user and the different sections. :)

[Todd Winton]

Yes, I have implemented in the custom HTML.  In IE I am seeing an error:

Hi.

It is indeed a bit puzzling.

Could you use the console in Dev Tools to confirm that the user accessing the Wiki is ctsidocs and not one other, by typing "AJS.params.remoteUser", or in alternative view the page source and search for the meta tag "ajs-remote-user".

Found a good macro by Georg Lewe on the topic of "hide sections", which I have expanded a little.

The error I pasted was genered while logging in as the specified user.

Hi Todd,

did you find a solution for this problem?

Cheers,

The link repi provided (https://support.lewe.com/docs/confluence/confluence-user-macros/hide-sections/) is no longer valid - as they've completely changed their website (and now leverage github for managing/providing such macros).

Link to Lewe Support's "Documentation" page: https://lewe.gitbook.io/lewe-support/ 

Link to its "Confluence User Macros" page:  https://lewe.gitbook.io/confluence-user-macros/

Link to their "hide sections" page:  https://github.com/glewe/confluence-user-macros/tree/master/src/hide-sections

NOTE:  It seems they no longer provided actual CSS; rather, they now provide a "hide-sections.vtl" file which they claim will do the same thing (albeit via a different means - i.e., using a Confluence "user macro" instead of a Confluence "include page" macro referencing a page with an embedded CSS Stylesheet macro.
