Changing LOGO_TARGET_PATH adds a 'Home' menu

[ampil]

Dear community,

When I add LOGO_TARGET_PATH = '/superset/dashboard/1/' into to the superset_config.py, Superset adds a new element into the navbar: 'Home'.
I don't want it, is there a way to disable / hide the 'Home' menu element?

To disable or hide the 'Home' menu element when you add LOGO_TARGET_PATH = '/superset/dashboard/1/' to the superset_config.py, you can use the uiConfig.hideNav configuration in the frontend code. In the superset-frontend/src/features/home/Menu.tsx file, the menu rendering is conditioned on the standalone URL parameter or the uiConfig.hideNav setting. You can set uiConfig.hideNav to true in your configuration to hide the navigation menu, including the 'Home' menu element:

const standalone = getUrlParam(URL_PARAMS.standalone);
if (standalone || uiConfig.hideNav) return <></>;

Make sure to update your configuration accordingly to ensure the 'Home' menu element is not displayed ^[1].

Do you have access to any configuration settings or options within the Superset interface that allow for custom CSS or JavaScript to be applied globally? Additionally, are there any plugins or extensions available in your Superset environment that might offer customization capabilities?

@dosu
I can hardcode the url in the /superset/views/base.py: write my url instead of appbuilder.app.config["LOGO_TARGET_PATH"] or url_for("Superset.welcome"), and disable LOGO_TARGET_PATH.

In that case the 'Home' menu does not appear and logo has a correct url.
If you have other suggestions please share them.

To achieve your goal without hardcoding the URL in /superset/views/base.py, you can modify the navbar.html template to prevent the 'Home' menu from appearing and ensure the logo has the correct URL. Here's how:

1. Prevent the 'Home' menu from appearing: You can remove or comment out the code that generates the 'Home' menu in the navbar.html template. If the 'Home' menu is part of the appbuilder.menu, you can customize the menu configuration in your Superset setup to exclude the 'Home' menu.

2. Ensure the logo has the correct URL: Set the LOGO_TARGET_PATH in your Superset configuration file (e.g., superset_config.py) to the desired URL. This way, you don't need to hardcode the URL in the template or disable LOGO_TARGET_PATH.

Here's an example of how you might configure LOGO_TARGET_PATH in superset_config.py:

# superset_config.py
LOGO_TARGET_PATH = '/desired/path'

In the navbar.html template, the root_path is set using LOGO_TARGET_PATH:

{% set root_path = logo_target_path if not logo_target_path.startswith('/') else '/superset' + logo_target_path if current_user.username is defined else '#' %}

By setting LOGO_TARGET_PATH in the configuration file, the root_path will automatically use this value, ensuring the logo points to the correct URL without hardcoding it in the template ^[1].

@dosu

navbar.html does not have a code that generates the 'Home' menu.
Here is the code:

{% set menu = appbuilder.menu %}
{% set app_icon_width = appbuilder.app.config['APP_ICON_WIDTH'] %}
{% set logo_target_path = appbuilder.app.config['LOGO_TARGET_PATH'] or '/' %}
{% set root_path = logo_target_path if not logo_target_path.startswith('/') else '/superset' + logo_target_path if current_user.username is defined else '#'  %}

{% block navbar %}
  <div id="app-menu">
    <div class="navbar navbar-static-top {{menu.extra_classes}}" role="navigation">
      <div class="container-fluid">
        <div class="navbar-header">
          <button type="button" class="navbar-toggle" data-toggle="collapse" data-target=".navbar-collapse">
            <span class="icon-bar"></span>
            <span class="icon-bar"></span>
            <span class="icon-bar"></span>
          </button>
          <a class="navbar-brand" href="{{ root_path }}">
            <img
              width="{{ app_icon_width }}"
              src="{{ assets_prefix }}{{ appbuilder.app_icon }}"
              alt="{{ appbuilder.app_name }}"
              loading="lazy"
            />
          </a>
        </div>
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>
{% endblock %}

To hide the 'Home' menu across all pages in Superset, you can adjust the configuration in the superset_config.py file. The 'Home' menu is not generated in the navbar.html template but is added during the application initialization process. You can prevent the 'Home' menu from being added by ensuring that the LOGO_TARGET_PATH configuration is not set or is set to a falsy value. Here's how you can do it:

# In your superset_config.py
LOGO_TARGET_PATH = None  # or set to a falsy value like an empty string

By setting LOGO_TARGET_PATH to None or an empty string, the condition for adding the 'Home' link will evaluate to false, and the 'Home' menu will not be added across all pages ^[1][2].
