I don't think you can do it straight from the control panel though. Comments You can if you manually edit the JSON, or use the JSON Snippet Keeper.

Jlentriken Aspiring developer Posts: 246 Reg: Dec 26, 2012 Palm Beach, Gol... 12,110	05/04/13 04:25 PM (12 years ago) Yeah i want to have a few things in the menu that arent clickable, and at the moment i just have a blank screen that i link them to and then delete when I'm done making the meu items. Just wondered if there was a quicker route to this. @chris1, what plugin do i name none?

I was saying try entering 'none' in that box - I seem to remember it might be set up to look for that. I could be wrong though.

Would be brilliant if it did. @raveyd, i thought linking back to the same screen would work but there is no option to change the transition to nothing apparent, so it makes me feel as though a user would think something isn't working correctly.

mutzy Aspiring developer Posts: 841 Reg: Nov 03, 2010 Medford, MA 9,860	05/05/13 08:58 AM (12 years ago) If you're still trying to do this just do what jvalley said... 1. create a screen 2. add that screen to your menu 3. go to screen page and delete the screen that's it. the menu item will remain but when you click on it nothing will happen.

Im sure someone will modify the plugin to work like that one day. Thankyou everyone for your support and advice!
