Joomla admin panel simplifier

Whenever I introduce someone to Joomla the first reaction is oooh, that looks a bit complex and in all fairness to them it is. It is daunting and your average non-techie isn't going to pickup the basics easily. Now i'm sure other web developers have heard the phrase "Can't you just turn it off" from project managers without any real knowledge of what is involved or the implications of doing such a thing. So I have created a customisable module which lets you hide non-essential parts of the Joomla backend.

 

I'm not saying this is a solution, but it works, it actually removes the HTML elements from the DOM if you choose remove, otherwise it just hides them (so expect things to break if you remove the wrong things). This is definately an advanced tool and shouldn't be used if you're unsure about what you're doing. Above is a screenshot of the Joomla admin panel simplifier.

 

As always leave a comment if you have positive or negative feedback, this will be the only release of this module unless a major bug is noticed due to it not being a "best practice" module and is quite hacky without actually hacking core!

    It not only looks very complex, it is very tough to understand also. Who knows it better than me? I think most users agree with it. . I am presently doing some work on Joomla, nothing is tougher than it. You made my work so easy. I don’t how should I say thanks to you. The customizable module given here for hiding non-essential parts of the Joomla backend is what I was really looking for..

    The difference between the right word and the almost right word is really a large matter — it's the difference between a lightning bug and the lightning.

    I'm the same way, I do my best to remain neutral. It's hard, if you communicate with the person the other person dislikes, then you fall out of favor with them! I simple can't dislike a person, just because someone else does, I just can't.
