How to Hide the Add New Item Link on the
Bottom of Lists & Libraries (per view)
Why on earth would we want to hide the “add
new item link” on the bottom of lists and libraries! One very good reason to hide this link is due
to multiple content types and the fact that this link will only give the new
form for the default content type. We
can have our users submit new items either through the ribbon or navigation
that we create. I will base this
tutorial on the example I proposed in an earlier post “An
Example of When to Use Multiple Content Types for a List” which essentially
has an HR Question Repository with a content type for each HR Question Type
being submitted.
In order to hide this link you will need:
- SharePoint Designer or a Content Editor Web Part on the page
- This code snippet
<style>
td.ms-addnew { display:none; }
</style>
Steps
1. Open SharePoint Designer
2.Open the List/Library which needs
the link hidden
3. Right Click the view you would
like to hide the link for
4. Select “Edit File in Advanced
Mode”
5. Place the code between your asp:content tags for “PlaceHolderBodyAreaClass”
6. Save
7. View Your Results!
