Moodle in English: Hiding Dashboard in Moove Theme navbar

Hiding Dashboard in Moove Theme navbar

by Jonny Galvez - Tuesday, May 14, 2019, 5:29 PM

I would like to disable the dashboard in the navbar menu in our installation of moodle. I'm using Moodle v3.4.4+ and Moove theme v2.3.3. I thought I had successfully hidden the menu item by using the following selector in the additional css of the theme:

#nav-drawer > ul:nth-child(1) > li:nth-child(2)

{display:none;}

I just found out that this actually hides the second menu item across all pages - meaning within a course it was hiding a participants button which is used by one of the teachers to check up on student progress.

Is there a specific selector I can use to target just the dashboard item in the menu, as it doesn't have an id?

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,

#nav-drawer a[data-key="myhome"] {
    display: none;
}

Cheers

Hi Jean-Roch,

Thanks for your suggestion but unfortunately it doesn't appear to hide the dashboard option when I include this in the raw scss despite including an !important rule.

Do you have any other suggestions on how I could fix this?

Thanks,

Jonny

Hi again,

Sorry, my fix was for boost theme. For moove replace 'a' with 'li' like this

#nav-drawer li[data-key="myhome"] {
    display: none;
}

Annoyingly this has worked in my sandbox site but when I went to update in the live site, the data-key seems to have been changed before I joined.

The data-key has been set to "home" which is the same string as the home button has set as data-key.

How do I change the data-key for the dashboard back to "myhome", or any other string so that this will work?

Go to Site Admin > Appearance > Navigation and alter the setting for "Default home page for users".

Setting it to "User Preference" changes the data-key of the dashboard to "myhome".
