block access to "Settings", "Delete" and "View" tabs for page

[Joe]

Hi everyone!

Is it possible to eliminate access for a non-superuser to the "Settings", "Delete" and "View" tabs on a specific page?

It is a site-settings page without a template file and it really doesn´t make any sense and is confusing to the users if they can rename it etc.

Thanks

Answering my own question:

So I´ve succeeded, though it was kind of tedious and I consider it a hack only:

In \site\templates-admin\default.php:

1. detect the page´s headline
   

   $trigger = strip_tags($this->fuel->processHeadline ? $this->fuel->processHeadline : $page->get("title|name"));
    
   

2. If the headline is my site-settings page´s, set the relevant list items style to "display: none;":
   

   if( $trigger == "Site Settings"):
   $content = str_replace("<li class='Inputfield InputfieldWrapper Inputfield_ ui-widget' id='ProcessPageEditSettings' title='Settings'>", "<li style = \"display: none;\">", $content);
   $content = str_replace("<li class='Inputfield InputfieldWrapper Inputfield_ ui-widget' id='ProcessPageEditDelete' title='Delete'>", "<li style = \"display: none;\">", $content);
   $content = str_replace("<li class='Inputfield InputfieldMarkup Inputfield_ ui-widget InputfieldWrapper' id='ProcessPageEditView' title='View'>", "<li style = \"display: none;\">", $content);            
   endif;
   

   That does it. But like I said, I think it´s just a hack. So I will not set the topic to "solved", maybe there is a better way to do it.

Hi Joe. A simple search via google (processwire.com hide settings tab) found my thread a while ago:

http://processwire.com/talk/topic/3159-hide-settings-tab-in-page-edition/

Here's another example doing it differently:

// in a autoload module like HelloWorld.module

public function init(){
    $this->addHookAfter("ProcessPageEdit::buildForm", $this, "buildFormHook");    
}

public function buildFormHook(HookEvent $event){
    
    // get page edited by ProcessPageEdit

    $page = $event->object->getPage();
    
    // conditions

    if(wire("user")->hasRole("superuser")) return;
    
    if($page->id == 1039) {
        
        // the form InputfieldWrapper returned by ProcessPageEdit::buildForm()
        $form = $event->return;
        
        // find the desired InputfieldWrapper's and remove them from the form

        $fieldset = $form->find("id=ProcessPageEditSettings")->first();
        $form->remove($fieldset);
        
        $fieldset = $form->find("id=ProcessPageEditDelete")->first();
        $form->remove($fieldset);
        
    }

} 

This works fine in PW.

Thank you! As described there I used that module to hide "Who can access this page"? in the settings tab for users with the editor role. Works well.

Just want to leave a note for others: This doesn't work currently. The form still gets changed, but the tabs will stay, as Ryan changed the tab generation part. I've opened a github issue regarding this one: https://github.com/ryancramerdesign/ProcessWire/issues/847

A search to hide "delete" tab brought me here. Thanks soma for the code.

In order to hide the tab(s), you have to add another hook to edit form:

 $this->addHook('ProcessPageEdit::getTabs', $this, 'hookEditFormTabs');

public function hookEditFormTabs($event) {        
// logic check
//        if ($this->user->isSuperuser()) return;
//        if ($this->page->id != 29) return;
        $tabs = $event->return;
        unset($tabs['ProcessPageEditDelete']);
        $event->return = $tabs;
    }
