Hide navigation link only in Resources and not everywhere

• PHP Version: 8

Hello,
I want to move one of me resources to new Navigation section. I do not want to override whole navigation, because I want that normal other resources are automatically in Resources section. So I just prepend menu by:

$menu->prepend
(
  MenuSection::make('Supervisor tools', 
  [
       MenuItem::resource(FieldsPreviewResource::class),             
  ])
);

Work well, but now I have 2 same link in "Supervisor tools" section and in "Resources" section. When I disable navigation in resource, it hide both links. How can I just hide resource link in "Resources" section.
public static $displayInNavigation = true;

Thank you,
Daniel

First set public static $displayInNavigation = false;

And then

$menu->prepend(
  MenuSection::make('Supervisor tools', [
       MenuItem::resource(FieldsPreviewResource::class)
          ->canSee(fn ($request) => FieldsPreviewResource::authorizedToViewAny($request)),
  ])
);

Hello @crynobone ,
you solution does not solved my problem, ofcourse I use "canSee" authorization, but my problem is that I can see 2 same navigation links. I want remove "Fields preview" from "Resources" section and keep it just in "Supervisor tools". Thank you for your help

@bendadaniel He gave you the right solution. Add this to your FieldPreviewResource

public static $displayInNavigation = false;

Aaah, I was adding canSee to MenuSection not to link, my fault. I am so sorry @crynobone, your solution works. Thank you so much for your time! :) (also thank you @dmason30)

@bendadaniel hi, im still newbie. i just start doing laravel nova ,and my menu section just only have dashboard and resources . I have created couples of resource but it just go direct under resource menu. May i know , how you did to create other menu field like supervisor tools and statistic ? and where is the right path to put the code ?

I recommend checking out the documentation, which has an entire page for menus.

The section for customising the main menu can be found here.
You can also customise the user menu, in the top right-hand side corner, which can be found here.
Regardless of entire custom menus or single items, you can check out how to use the different types like menu section, menu group, menu item, etc, in the menu building section here.

There's a property, $displayInNavigation, in the Resource class that can also be used to hide it in the menu.
So simply adding public static $displayInNavigation = false; to the Resource class you want to hide, will automagically hide it.
But to make more custom stuff, you'll need to create a custom menu, as shown in my links above.

Apologies for just spamming links. It's a surprisingly wide subject, and smaller/more concrete questions is easier to answer. 🙂
