Use Wagtail CMS Snippets but Hide in Admin Panel

I am building custom AdminModels based on Wagtail Snippets and have a custom menu in the AdminPanel for my models. How do I hide/remove the Snippet selection from AdminPanel without disabling? Thank you.

Since item.name in menu_items can be blank, better solution is:

from wagtail.snippets.wagtail_hooks import SnippetsMenuItem

@hooks.register('construct_main_menu')
def hide_snippets_menu_item(request, menu_items):
    menu_items[:] = [item for item in menu_items if not isinstance(item, SnippetsMenuItem)]

Put the following hook into wagtail_hooks.py file of your Wagtail CMS app:

from wagtail.wagtailcore import hooks

@hooks.register('construct_main_menu')
def hide_snippets_menu_item(request, menu_items):
  menu_items[:] = [item for item in menu_items if item.name != 'snippets']

And you're basically done! You can use this approach to hide any item from the admin menu.

I described it recently on my blog: http://timonweb.com/posts/how-to-remove-snippets-menu-item-from-wagtail-cms-admin-menu/
