Hi Andrew,

Not sure why you would need to hide properties/tabs now, as long as you set up your DocType(s) inheritance correctly and make use of Compositions to construct your DocTypes.

Take a look at the following article:

There is this package https://our.umbraco.org/projects/collaboration/backoffice-tweaking/

that is in beta. I do not know if it works well, you'll have to test it. Another way is via code implemented a WebApiHandler.

Example

https://github.com/jbreuer/Hybrid-Framework-for-Umbraco-v7-Best-Practises/blob/master/Umbraco.Extensions/Utilities/WebApiHandler.cs

This code does not hide tabs, but the way to do this .

This has already been discussed here: https://our.umbraco.org/forum/umbraco-7/developing-umbraco-7-packages/57017-Umbraco-7-Event-RemoveHide-tab-for-User-X

hi Craig,

thanks for the Composition over inheritance suggestion. In this case I would actually like the property on the doctype as logically that's where the data lives, its just that I don't really need the content editor to see it (the value is set by a publishing event handler instead). So its more of a system field than a field for the editor.

thanks andrew

hi Marcio - yes I did see that package after a google, but my question was rather if this was planned to be official core functionality at some point? thanks

is working on a reply...
