Disable admin menu for specific page

Question

Is there a way to disable the top admin menu (not default toolbar), for a particular page? I am not looking for a JS or CSS workaround, but a proper solution such that the rendering of the admin menu does not happen.

Thanks and help appreciated...

Answer 1

You can assign your admin menu to a block, and have that block disabled on certain pages.

Answer 2

OK, thanks for your replies everyone. But for this specific problem, admin_menu_suppress actually works perfectly. Idiot that I am, previously, I was calling this function from my page tpl. Hence, the js and css were already getting included even before the content was rendered. However, when I followed the prescribed way of calling the function for each of the page callbacks where I want the admin menu to be excluded, it worked perfectly.

Check the documentation of this function for more details.

Hope this helps somebody...

The module_load_all function loads all of the enabled modules. this is its code:

function module_load_all($bootstrap = FALSE) {
  static $has_run = FALSE;

  if (isset($bootstrap)) {
    foreach (module_list(TRUE, $bootstrap) as $module) {
      drupal_load('module', $module);
   }
   // $has_run will be TRUE if $bootstrap is FALSE.
  $has_run = !$bootstrap;
 }
  return $has_run;
}

Just before the drupal_load('module', $module); statement check for the specific url you are looking for and the admin-menu module, if the condition holds skip the drupal_laod statement. I mean

function module_load_all($bootstrap = FALSE) {
  static $has_run = FALSE;

  if (isset($bootstrap)) {
    foreach (module_list(TRUE, $bootstrap) as $module) {
      if(current_path != "SPECIFIC URL" || $module!="SPECIFIC MODULE")
         drupal_load('module', $module);
   }
   // $has_run will be TRUE if $bootstrap is FALSE.
  $has_run = !$bootstrap;
 }
  return $has_run;
}

Please note that this will require you to hack the core (modify a core source code) and is not recommended unless you have no other option.
