How to add/remove menu item programmatically?

Post by skinniPT » Tue Mar 22, 2016 2:23 pm

I have a Joomla v2.5.14 application and I'm in a situation that I need to hide a menu item from the users based on a database value, basically what I need is to hide the menu item based on a condition.

My question is, where's the right place to perform this? and how to do it?

Hello and welcome to the Joomla! Forum.

As one of our moderators already suggest it and moved this to the Coding Section of the Forum, the only way I know to do it is to Code a own plugin that handle this for you.

Before we go deeper into it. Do you have any Coding experience?

If no I would recommend that you ask someone form the Joomla! Resource page:
http://resources.joomla.org/en/provider ... rogramming

Doses are all people who know how to code within Joomla but it's not free of charge.
You can find me there as well.

BTW: Joomla 2.5.14 is not the latest release in of Joomla 2.5.x you should upgrade to at least 2.5.28 or better to Joomla 3

This will only add some CSS and the menu will be visible for anyone how is not using a normal Browser: like Google, persons how use a Screen reader and so on.
