Propose new functionalities for Decidim software
#DecidimRoadmap Designing Decidim together
Ability to remove/hide menu items
@verarojman asked on gitter whether it was possible to somehow remove menu items through the decidim.rb initializer. I investigated a bit and it looks like the menu subsystem is append-only at this point.
It is possible to hide them using CSS/JS hacks, but that's obviously brittle and can have unexpected consequences.
Being able to edit the menu through the initializer (or through the admin dashboard) seems like a sensible expectation from Decidim instance maintainers, to me. And from what I could tell, it's viable to extend the menu subsystem to allow for this within its current architecture.
Not sure how high a priority this would be, of course. Nor how common this demand is.
What do you all think?
Update
@microstudi suggests this should be done in a third-party module, and said his team might work on it at some point.

We always add custom menu items to point people towards the specific pages where they can participate and we often remove the Processes menu because the platforms often start with one process and it doesn't make sense to keep it. OSP's module to add links is really useful but it would be really great to be able to hide the default menus. Another solution would be to replace Processes with a button to the process when there is only one.
As the others said, there are so many other ways content can be censored or hidden, not giving the possibility to customise the top navbar is irrelevant...
