When you normally open SharePoint 2010 you will find the Site Action drop down list on the top left:
This post will demonstrate how to hide the Site Actions drop down list using JavaScript.
First, create an empty SharePoint solution using VS and then add a custom action:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <Elements xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/"> <CustomAction Id="HideSiteActions.SiteActionAddPoint" GroupId="SiteActions" Location="Microsoft.SharePoint.StandardMenu" Sequence="1003" ControlAssembly="$SharePoint.Project.AssemblyFullName$" ControlClass="HideSiteActions.SiteActionAddPoint"/> </Elements>
The ControlClass is defined as follows:
namespace HideSiteActions
{
public class SiteActionAddPoint : Control
{
protected override void OnPreRender(EventArgs e)
{
base.OnPreRender(e);
bool HideSiteActions = true;
//check permissions to set HideSiteActions to false or true.
//HideSiteActions = //SPContext.Current.Web.DoesUserHavePermissions(SPBasePermissions.FullMask);
if (HideSiteActions)
{
string JSKey = "JSHideSiteActions";
Type JSType = this.GetType();
string JScript = string.Format("document.getElementById('siteactiontd').style.display = 'none';");
if (!this.Page.ClientScript.IsStartupScriptRegistered(JSType, JSKey))
{
this.Page.ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(JSType, JSKey, JScript, true);
}
}
}
}
}
Use the “OnPreRender” function to render this java script code: (“document.getElementById(‘siteactiontd’).style.display = ‘none’;”), to hide the Site Actions drop down list.
The variable “HideSiteActions” is used to control Site Actions drop down list’s hide/show based on permissions.
After deploying this feature to SharePoint, refresh your page and the Site Action drop down list will be hidden.
