Remove an item from the Add Page menu

[Brian Bircham]

Hello all I'd like to remove the "Add Page" menu item from the Add Page menu so that it forces people to use the template. I think this may be possible based on this article but I could be wrong https://answers.atlassian.com/questions/25187/how-to-promote-use-of-existing-templates-with-new-add-menu-options Is it possible to remove an item altogether? Thanks in advance Brian

I couldn't get the AJS scripts to work to fix this issue. In the end, I used JavaScript to remove the entry with the following

<script>
document.getElementById('add-page-item').style.display= "none";
</script>

This works in Conf 4.2:

AJS.$('#add-menu-link-space li:first').remove();

Add it to your "Custom HTML".

Just one thing to add: put it between

<script type="text/javascript">

and

</script>

This didn't seem to work unfortunately. I'm using version 4.2.4 version of Confluence and added the script tags. Do I need to enable JavaScript somewhere?

@Brian Bricham: Matthew's answer was almost right, but really it the JS needs wrapping in an AJS.toInit method...

In Confluence Admin | Look & Feel | Custom HTML paste this into At the End of the BODY:

<script>
  AJS.toInit(function(){
    AJS.$('#add-menu-link-space li:first').remove();
  });
</script>

Hi Brian,

Can you let me know the Confluence version you are using?

Thanks,

Peter

Hi Peter

I'm using 4.2.4 and unfortunately the script didn't work (even with the script tags)

Any ideas? Do these scripts need to be enabled somehow?

The easiest way to do this would be to just add a little jQuery that removes the first item in the drop down list. I've used jQuery before to customize my menus like that and it works great.
