SharePoint 2013/Project Server 2013 - Remove or hide ribbon button

SharePoint/Project Server - Remove or hide ribbon button

SharePoint and Project Server has a lot of functionality in the ribbon. Sometimes it can be beneficial to hide some of the buttons for the users so they do not get too confused.

The correct way to hide ribbon buttons is to create a SharePoint feature in Visual Studio and create some XML to override the ribbon. However, if you are not that familiar with developing or Visual Studio it can be a prohibitive task to do.
If you would like to go with the feature solution here is a link for a nice guide on how to do it: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/ff408060(v=office.14).aspx

In this post I will go through how to remove ribbon buttons only through the standard Script Editor webpart and Javascript. However you don’t have to know Javascript to complete the task.
The downside of this approach is that your have to add the webpart on all pages where you want to remove the ribbon.

Remove Ribbon Buttons

In Project Server on a PDP page lets say you have a ribbon which looks like this:

Now in this PWA instance we do not have any Project Sites and they are also disabled in PWA Settings. Therefore, we want to remove the Project Sites button from the ribbon and the Quick Launch. We would also like to remove the Documents, Issues and Risks links.
To do this go to the PDP site and add a new Script Editor webpart.

In the script editor webpart click EDIT SNIPPET and add the following javascript code:

<script>
    function removeLinks() {
        try {
            var elements = null;
            try {
                elements = document.getElementsByClassName('static menu-item ms-core-listMenu-item ms-displayInline ms-navedit-linkNode')
            } catch (ex) {
                //IE8 and lower
                elements = document.querySelectorAll('.static.menu-item.ms-core-listMenu-item.ms-displayInline.ms-navedit-linkNode');
            }
            for (i = 0; i < elements.length; i++) {
                var elm = elements[i];
                if (elm.innerHTML.indexOf('Project Site') >= 0) {
                    elm.style.display = 'none';
                }
            }
            var ribbonBtn = document.getElementById("Ribbon.Tabs.PDP.Home.GoTo-Large-2-1");
            ribbonBtn.style.display = 'none';
            ribbonBtn = document.getElementById("Ribbon.Tabs.PDP.Home.GoTo.GoToDocuments-Medium");
            ribbonBtn.style.display = 'none';
            ribbonBtn = document.getElementById("Ribbon.Tabs.PDP.Home.GoTo-Large-2-2");
            ribbonBtn.style.display = 'none';
            ribbonBtn = document.getElementById("Ribbon.Tabs.PDP.Home.GoTo.GoToWorkspace-Large");
            ribbonBtn.style.display = 'none';
        } catch (ex) { }
        setTimeout(removeLinks, 500);
    }
removeLinks();

</script>

Script Editor webpart:

Click Insert and click Stop Editing.
Now the buttons for the project site will be hidden.

Remember you have to do this for all pages or PDP’s where the buttons should be removed.

Hiding other buttons

If you want to remove other buttons simply replace the button id in the Javascript with the button you want to remove.

<script>
    function removeLinks() {
        try {
            
            var ribbonBtn = document.getElementById("Ribbon.Tabs.PDP.Home.GoTo-Large-2-1");
            ribbonBtn.style.display = 'none';         
        } catch (ex) { }
        setTimeout(removeLinks, 500);
    }
removeLinks();

</script>

There are many ways of finding the button id, but I find the easiest way is to use Firefox and Firebug.

Below i have listed the most common ID's used in the PWA. 
The ID's are listed in the same order as the buttons are placed in the ribbon (starting from the left).

Azure DevOps - Gantt Chart

It's been a while since my last post - in the past couple of weeks I have played around with some videos of topics I find interesting. One of these topics are a very cool way of displaying a Gantt Chart upon your Azure DevOps board's. Check it out here!

Project Server - Change field name on PDP for standard fields (like the Owner field)

Project Server - Change owner field name on PDP The field names on the PDPs (Project Detail Pages) has been preselected on the standard fields for a project. If you want to change the Owner to something else it is quite difficult. In the following i will explain how we can change this field through the Content Editor webpart. To change the owner field add a Content Editor webpart to the PDP page where the field is inserted. Select the webpart and from the ribbon select HTML->Edit HTML Source. Copy/Paste the following code into the Content Editor webpart. < script type ="text/javascript">     var old_name = "Owner" ;     var new_name = "Ansvarlig" ;     var ttnA = document.getElementsByTagName( "div" );     for ( var j = 0; j < ttnA.length; j++) {         var orig = ttnA[j].innerHTML;         var stripped = orig.replace( /^\s*/ , "" ).replace( /\s*$/ , &quo

PowerShell results size unlimited/truncated - $FormatEnumerationLimit/Width

Ever experienced the problem where you run a Powershell command and you cannot see the whole result because the result is truncated. Problem: If you for example run the Test-SPsite command you might see something like the following: Site : SPSite Url=http://atlas/pwa Results : { SPSiteHealthResult Status=Passed RuleName="Conflicting Content Types" RuleId=befe203b-a8c0-48c2-b5f0-27c10f9e1622, SPSiteHealthResult Status=FailedWarning RuleName="Customized Files" RuleId=cd839b0d-9707-4950-8fac-f306cb920f6c, SPSiteHealthResult Status=Passed RuleName="Missing Galleries" RuleId=ee967197-ccbe-4c00-88e4-e6fab81145e1, SPSiteHealthResult Status=Passed RuleName="Missing Parent Content Types" RuleId=a9a6769f-7289-4b9f-ae7f-5db4b997d284, SPSiteHealthResult Status=FailedError RuleName="Missing Site Templates" RuleId=5258ccf5-e7d6-4df7-b8ae-12fcc0513ebd,
