Hi Aneesh,

first create customcore.xml file and reference in master page for this follow this link

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc768565.aspx

and your customcore.xml file hide following items

//strAction = "editDocumentWithProgID2('" + currentItemFileUrl + "', '" + currentItemProgId + "', '" + currentItemOpenControl + "', '" + bIsCheckout + "', '" + a.HttpRoot + "', '" + currentItemCheckedoutToLocal + "')";

               // strImagePath = a.imagesPath + currentItemIcon;

               // b = CAMOpt(c, strDisplayText, strAction, strImagePath, null, 260);

                 // b.id = "ID_EditIn_" + currentItemAppName;

               // CUIInfo(b, "EditDocument", ["EditDocument"])

Thaks all for your reply...
Actually i found a very simple soultion.

Just i changed "return false;" to "return true;" and the default menu items disappeared. We can give those default menu items if it is required in other pages(views) using camopt function.

Thanks a lot friends...

Hi Aneesh,

Can you explain the solution in more detail. Also if you know how to achieve the functionality using the content editor web part, kindly share it.

Thanks

Answer 5

Hi Aneesh,

did you referenced to jQuery Library? Because this is often the reason why the custom code did not work. You can reference to the newest jQuery Library like this:

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.2/jquery.min.js" />
<script type="text/javascript">
//your code
</script>

I hope it helps.

Hi,

I have added the following code in HTML source in content editor web part and added the web part below the list web part. But it doesnt work. Am still able to see version history option in ECB(on loading as well as during the mouse hover)

<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.2/jquery.min.js"></script><script language="javascript" type="text/javascript"> 

$(document).ready(function(){
 $('.ms-MenuUIItemTableHover').live('mouseover',function() {        
$("tr[text='Version History']").remove();
         });

    });</script>

Kindly let me know if i am missing anything.

Hi rakesh try this code, it works for me on SP2010:
<script type="text/javascript">
 
$(document).ready(function(){
  $('.ms-MenuUIULItemHover').live('mouseover',function() {         

 $("#ID_Versions").parents('.ms-MenuUIULLink').eq(0).hide();
 
         }); 

    });

</script>
Pls mark as answer if it works for you. Hope it helps!
