Redmine

There might be a simpler way but you could use this plugin:
https://www.redmine.org/plugins/redmine_custom_js

Then configure it with this code to remove the menu item:

$(document).ready(function() {
  $(".help").remove()
})

thx, but does not fit with Version 4.x
other ideas?

I'm using 4.1.1.
It works for me:

1. menu.push :help, Redmine::Info.help_url, :last => true
   is a new start of apache always necessary?
   Thx

Usually, yes.

FWIW: I recommend against patching Redmine core files or using JavaScript hacks with additional plugin dependencies for something as small as this.
I suggest you just utilize the designated plugin API for this. A simple plugin would consist of something along the lines of an 'init.rb' file that looks like:

Redmine::Plugin.register :remove_top_menu_help do
  name 'Remove Top Menu Help Item'
  author 'Mischa The Evil'
  description 'A tiny Redmine plugin to remove the top menu help item.'
  version '0.0.1'
  url 'https://www.redmine.org/boards/1/topics/59964'
  author_url 'https://www.redmine.org/users/1565'

  # Remove the help item from the top menu
  delete_menu_item :top_menu, :help
end

Now place that file into a new directory named 'remove_top_menu_help' in your Redmine's 'plugins' directory and restart your Redmine environment. Et voila...

this:

I ll try to remove this in redmine.rb

menu.push :help, Redmine::Info.help_url, :last => true
    is a new start of apache always necessary?
    Thx

works out, thx to all

That piece of advice should definitely appears in the official Wiki : smart, simple and useful.
Thanks for that.

FYI: An article on how to manipulate the menu entries exists and can be found here: Plugin_Tutorial

you can try this plugin:
https://www.redmine.org/plugins/additionals

I used it to remove the "help" menu from Main Menu Bar.
There are also other useful options.

Worked quite well and it is just a tick in configuration and no change in code necessary.

Hello I'll try to remove for my web xloo "Help" in redmine.rb
- menu.push :help, Redmine::Info.help_url, :last => true
Thanks it really works!! And really simple.

Hi Guys,

this looks great, thank you.

Could you please help me to create this simple plugin to add link ty https://new-link-aaa.com to the top menu?

Thank you so much
Kind regards
J.

It's basically the same as what Mischa suggested earlier in the thread but instead of removing an entry you have to add one.

Here is an example...

Redmine::Plugin.register :jenda do
  name 'Jendas cool plugin'
  author 'Jenda Benda'
  description 'Adds a link to https://new-link-aaa.com to the top menu.'
  version '0.0.1'
  url 'https://www.redmine.org/boards/1/topics/59964'
  author_url 'https://www.redmine.org/users/137847'

  # Add the link with the text Jenda to the top menu
  menu :top_menu, "Jenda", "https://new-link-aaa.com" 
end

Its registered under the name :jenda so you have to place it in an init.rb file under the subfolder jenda in your redmines plugins directory. After restarting the instance your link shows up.

Thank you so much! It works like a charm-)
