Developing Component, Want to Have no Front End View

[harpgraphics]

I am developing a component that I want to only be used through the administrator interface. How can I eliminate the option to have a menu item type from the front end? I have looked through the documentation and searched and have not come up with an answer.

Do you actually have files on your site folders?
In your view folder you should have a file metadata.xml
and it should look like this

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<metadata>
 <view title="viewname" hidden="true">
        <message><![CDATA[BARDESC]]></message>
    </view>
</metadata>
