Question

I’ve created an engine in refinerycms where i’m pulling the data onto the homepage. Refinerycms automatically creates a page and a menu item for this engine.

How can i delete the engine page as well as remove it from my menu bar?

menu.html.erb

<%
  # Collect the root items.
  # ::Refinery::Menu is smart enough to remember all of the items in the original collection.
  if (roots = local_assigns[:roots] || (collection ||= refinery_menu_pages).roots).present?
    dom_id ||= 'menu'
    css = [(css || 'menu clearfix')].flatten.join(' ')
    hide_children = Refinery::Core.menu_hide_children if hide_children.nil?
-%>
<div id="nav">
  <ul>
    <%= render :partial => '/refinery/menu_branch', :collection => roots,
               :locals => {
                 :hide_children => hide_children,
                 :sibling_count => (roots.length - 1),
                 :menu_levels => local_assigns[:menu_levels],
                 :apply_css => true #if you don't care about class='first' class='last' or class='selected' set apply_css to false for speed.
               } -%>
  </ul>
</div>

<% end -%>

menu_branch.html.erb

<%
  if !!local_assigns[:apply_css] and (classes = menu_branch_css(local_assigns)).any?
    css = "class='#{classes.join(' ')}'".html_safe
  end
-%>
<li<%= ['', css].compact.join(' ').gsub(/\ *$/, '').html_safe %>>
<%= link_to(menu_branch.title, refinery.url_for(menu_branch.url)) -%>
  <% if ( (children = menu_branch.children unless hide_children).present? &&
          (!local_assigns[:menu_levels] || menu_branch.ancestors.length < local_assigns[:menu_levels]) ) -%>
    <ul class='clearfix'>
      <%= render :partial => '/refinery/menu_branch', :collection => children,
                 :locals => {
                   :apply_css => local_assigns[:apply_css],
                   :hide_children => !!hide_children,
                   :menu_levels => local_assigns[:menu_levels]
                 } -%>
    </ul>
  <% end -%>
</li>

The menu item in particular that i want removed from the menu bar is “new programs”

Answer 1

I finally found that when editing a page in Refinerycms if you click advanced options, there is a checkbox on whether to include the page in the public menu or not.
