Hi there,

With MIGX 2.5.8, the package adds a menu item inside the top component menu. I have nothing against MIGX, however through Form Customisation, I was using this menu to display client friendly options. Such as:

ClientConfig
VersionX
BigBrother

I don't want a client clicking the MIGX menu item and doing something silly.

How can I remove or hide?

I may be mistaken but you should be able to move it by dragging-dropping it elsewhere in the System>Actions menu.

If you go to Tools->Actions, click on the Components item, then right-click on the MIGx menu item to update it, there is a field for Permissions. I'm not exactly sure what goes here, maybe the group name, for example Administrator?

No, definitely not a group name. See http://rtfm.modx.com/revolution/2.x/developing-in-modx/advanced-development/custom-manager-pages#CustomManagerPages-CreatingthemodMenu

BobRay has a tutorial on creating custom Permissions for menu items http://bobsguides.com/hiding-top-menu-items-in-the-manager.html [ed. note: sottwell last edited this post 12 years, 11 months ago.]

Thanks pyrographics and sottwell.

Adding 'administrator' to the permissions field removed it from my client view. I have various permissions setup so that did the trick!

Can't believe i've never seen the actions menu before

I'm very familiar with it because I keep trying the Doodles tutorial, and it still takes me three or four passes at it before I get it to work!
