I was able to hide menu items that were inaccessible by altering the renderer.php file in the theme folder(s). These changes are intended to keep the HTML out of the page if the user does not have access, not just simply hide them from view.
Also, i added a theme_config.php file to the theme directory to keep the new config option out of the main config file.
I have briefly tested this on FrontAccounting 2.3.11 on a WAMP server.
I think it is valuable to be able to hide menu entries because there might be a user (e.g. employee self service for a HR/Payroll module) that you don't want to see the rest of the system.
I am still learning php, so I am open to suggestions on how to clean up what I have accomplished, etc. Let me know what you think and if you encounter any errors! Thanks.
Also, it would be nice to be able to define certain security roles that hide inaccessible menus rather than having a simple on/off config option...have not even attempted to figure this out yet.
Here is my theme_config.php file:
<?php
/* Should FA hide menu items (Applications, Modules, and Actions) from the user if they don't have access to them?
1 for no 0 for yes
*/
global $show_inaccessible_menu_items;
$show_inaccessible_menu_items = 0;
?>
Here is my modified renderer.php file...my changes are preceded by a //BP:
