Hi John,

Am not sure about an event you could use from code.

However you could add a js file that just hides those elemets using a package.manifest file

Hope that helps

Hi John

You might find some inspiration on how to do that in this article by Matt Brailsford https://24days.in/umbraco-cms/2015/umbraco-7-back-office-tweaks/

But you should also at least be able to have the document type part hidden away on a user level. I just spinned up a fresh 7.10.4 to check and it's "halfway there". So if I login with a user that has been assigned the "Editor role" I don't see the document type icon or name...But I still see the "Open" button, which I guess is not supposed to happen - So currently it seems a little broken but eventually that part will get fixed I reckon.

Hope this helps.

Haha, I know that feeling! Yesterday I had forgotten all about the issue tracker for forms...do'h! :D

Hi Guys,

Thanks for the reply, started looking into those links. Might need more tutorials as I feel this is more in depth stuff.

Hi John

I realize that the answers we provided above are probably a tad too much if one is new to Umbraco and AngularJS (Sorry if I'm mistaken here).

If you don't mind that when being logged in as ANY kind of user - Even the admin will not be able to see those fields you marked in your initial post then you can use a stylesheet to hide them.

However you as an admin / developer of the site would probably be a little annoyed with this over time since it's actually quite handy to be able to jump directly to the document type from the "Info" tab when managing the document types - It's a nice shortcut, which I use a surprisingly lot myself :-)

But if you think you'll be fine with it you can hide the fields by adding the following code a folder in the "App_Plugins" directory.

So add these two files in a subfolder named "uitweaks" and name the files "uitweaks.css" and "package.manifest"

So the path to those files is /App_Plugins/uitweaks/.

The contents of the CSS file

.umb-package-details__sidebar .umb-property:nth-of-type(3),
.umb-package-details__sidebar .umb-property:nth-of-type(4),
.umb-package-details__sidebar .umb-property:nth-of-type(5) {
    display: none;
}

This contents of the package.manifest

{
   css: [
       '~/App_Plugins/uitweaks/uitweaks.css'
   ]
}

This will hide the desired items under the "General" tab.

You can of course also do some more advanced stuff but it takes a little more work and could perhaps be too much information at the time being? :)

I hope this helps.

I suggested something similar for hiding the unpublish button for particular user groups - adding an AngularJs directive to modify the page styles.

https://gist.github.com/nathanwoulfe/d7e880e83e21d3614e5847caaa972203

Would be relatively easy to extend to hiding other things for other user groups. Could even be worth turning into a package to make it configurable...

is working on a reply...
