How to hide the View tab in user page?

Question

In the user page (www.example.com/user), there are [View | Edit] tabs. Is it possible to hide the View tab and leave Edit tab there?

Answer 1

Use Tab Tamer, which allows you to move, hide and disable tabs on various pages.

Tab Tamer is an administration utility that provides easy re-ordering, hiding, and deactivation of tabs and subtabs. You can also rename tab labels.

Answer 2

You could also just use hook_menu_local_tasks_alter() in D7:

function MYMODULE_menu_local_tasks_alter(&$data){
foreach ($data['tabs'][0]['output'] as $key => $value) {
        if ($value['#link']['path'] == "user/%/view"){
            unset($data['tabs'][0]['output'][$key]);
        }
    }
}

If you give the appropriate permission to the user, only then the view and edit tag will visible otherwise it will not be visible. (For checking you can sign out from the website and click the menu in user page. The view and edit tag will not visible)
