Is There a Way?

Using my Dolibarr
1

I’m limited to screen space on my laptop (main place of work).

Is there a way to hide certain top menu icons so that I can just use the module through the homepage etc?

Or is there an easy way to link a top menu to show in another section so the top menu can be hidden?

I don’t want to disable the menu.

Hi Aljawaid,
There is a way to hide top menu icons;
Home–>Setup–>Display
look for: Hide images in Top menu
There are also other options. Also if screen real estate is an issue you can decrease the zoom level in your browsers options.

Thanks for the reply. I want to hide the full module icon+text not just the image.

Decreasing zoom level makes the rest of the site difficult to read/work with.

Aljawaid,
I’m assuming that if the user cannot see icons + text then that basically means that the user has no access to that particular module which would mean that in user rights the user has no access. If that’s the case then to hide that modules menu this is what you do:
Home–>Setup–>Menu—>Miscellaneous
Hide unauthorized menus (gray): set status to on

Here is what I would want:

Example:
Module ‘chat’ is a module which is used now and then. To access it, the icon is on the top menu of dolibarr. What I am asking is can I hide it from the top menu bar and let it show on the side bar of ‘Tools’ menu? Or can I move the icon to the bottom of the page or above the search bar. Hope it makes sense now.

Aljawaid,
This is possible. When you go into Home–>Setup–>Menu
Change the menu handler to auguria. Then in Menu Editor make sure its auguria_menu
Now any menu can be changed that way including the title e.g Commercial can be changed to Orders.
Coming to your case you can create a New Menu and there are two options in the Type: Top or left
So create a left menu of ‘chat’ and then the Top menu which is under personalised menu can be deleted. That way you only have the chat menu on the left and not on the top menu.

Try to use the other theme of Dolibarr. I don’t know which are you using, but there are 2 themes included in the standard Dolibarr version. They are different regarding some features on menu barrs.

You can to search other themes too. Probably there are any with more “collapsed” menus.

Another solution: maybe, if you know something about CSS/HTML you could hacker the CSS stylesheet of the default theme to get more available space, reducing default paddings and margins (tables, paragraphs), line-heights, blah blah… :wink:

Cheers,
sergi
