How to not allow user to add child from the parent page?

[adrianmak]

I setup a page template which has a pageTable field.

 

To display the child page (on front-end) of the PageTable field in the parent page, user should edit the parent page and add child page within here.


However, I found that many users are likely use the "New" button from the parent's context menu. As a result, users always ask me why their child pages could not show  on the front-end.

What can I do to avoid user to add child pages from the parent's context menu ? Hide the “New" button ?

Yes. A simple way would be hooking into ProcessPageListActions::getActions in your site/ready.php:

wire()->addHookAfter("ProcessPageListActions::getActions", null, "removeNewAction");

function removeNewAction(HookEvent $event) {
	$page = $event->arguments(0);
	if($page->template == "blog") {
		$actions = $event->return;
		unset($actions['new']);
		$event->return = $actions;
	}
}

Or you could have new child pages automatically added to the page table field:
