Hide unwanted categories in +create link

[pushpendra]

How can I hide unnecessary categories/subcategories in +create link. All I need to show only those categories to the members in which they can upload the files. Rest categories must be hidden in place of disabled. Members of my site always complains that if they are not permitted to upload in a category why I am showing them the category in disabled mode.
As of now I have a bunch of categories and subcategories and this feel bad to scroll and find the desired one.

Hi, the easiest and most update compatible way is CSS. For example if you want to hide a link (application or pages database) you can do that with ...

#elCreateNew_menu li a[href="https://invisionfocus.de/?&do=form&d=1"] {
display: none;
}

Simply copy and paste the existing entry and put that in your custom.css

If you want to hide entries for selected groups only you have to add a condition, look here ...

{{if \IPS\Member::loggedIn()->member_group_id === 4}}
#elCreateNew_menu li a[href="https://invisionfocus.de/?&do=form&d=1"] {
display: none;
}
{{endif}}

The other method would be to edit the create menu code in the templates, but that can be overwritten with updates.

At the moment there is afaik no plugin in the marketplace to hide entries from the create menu.

Yes tried with CSS. Partially worked. It fails in a special scenario where a group/member has not permission to upload a file in category but  he can upload the file of its subcategory. 

though trying...

Then I guess replacing the content of the create menu with your own entries/code is the best solution. To keep it upgrade-safe put it in a plugin with a theme hook. Should be in ...

Template userbar ->

				<div id='elCreateNew_menu' class='ipsMenu ipsMenu_auto ipsHide'>
					<ul>
						{{foreach \IPS\Member::loggedIn()->createMenu() as $k => $url}}
							<li class="ipsMenu_item">
								<a href="{$url['link']}"
								{{if isset( $url['extraData'] )}}
									{{foreach $url['extraData'] as $data => $v}}
										{$data}="{$v}"
									{{endforeach}}
								{{endif}}
								{{if isset($url['title']) AND $url['title']}} data-ipsDialog-title='{lang="$url['title']"}'{{endif}}
								{{if isset($url['flashMessage'])}} data-ipsdialog-flashmessage="{lang="$url['flashMessage']"}"{{endif}}
								>{lang="$k"}</a>
							</li>
						{{endforeach}}
					</ul>
				</div>

Template mobileNavigation ->

<div id='elMobileCreateMenuDrawer' class='ipsDrawer ipsHide'>
	<div class='ipsDrawer_menu'>
		<a href='#' class='ipsDrawer_close' data-action='close'><span>&times;</span></a>
		<div class='ipsDrawer_content ipsSpacer_bottom ipsPad'>
			<ul class='ipsDrawer_list'>
				<li class="ipsDrawer_listTitle ipsType_reset">{lang="add"}...</li>
				{{foreach \IPS\Member::loggedIn()->createMenu() as $k => $url}}
					<li>
						<a href="{$url['link']}"
							{{if isset( $url['extraData'] )}}
								{{foreach $url['extraData'] as $data => $v}}
									{$data}="{$v}"
								{{endforeach}}
							{{endif}}
							{{if isset($url['title']) AND $url['title']}} data-ipsDialog-title='{lang="$url['title']"}'{{endif}}
							{{if isset($url['flashMessage'])}} data-ipsdialog-flashmessage="{lang="$url['flashMessage']"}"{{endif}} data-ipsdialog-fixed="true"
							>{lang="$k"}</a>
					</li>
				{{endforeach}}
			</ul>
		</div>
	</div>
</div>

Untested, this is afetr taking a short look only.
