Magento remove “Promo” Item

Question

How do I remove the whole \"Promo\" menu item from the Admin menu? It seems to be no separate module.

Answer 1

Method 1 - Using local.xml

Open /app/etc/local.xml and add the 'adminhtml' tag below

<config>
    <global> 
        .....
    </global>
    <admin>
        ....
    </admin>
    <adminhtml>
        <menu>
          <promo translate="title" module="promo">
            <depends><module>HideMe</module></depends>
          </promo>
        </menu>
     </adminhtml>
</config>

Method 2 - Creating a Custom Module

Create /app/code/local/MagePal/RemovePromoMenu/etc/config.xml

<config>
   <modules>
        <MagePal_RemovePromoMenu>
            <version>0.9.5</version>
        </MagePal_RemovePromoMenu>
   </modules
   <adminhtml>
        <menu>
          <promo translate="title" module="promo">
            <disabled>1</disabled>
          </promo>
        </menu>
   </adminhtml>
</config>

Create /app/etc/modules/MagePal_RemovePromoMenu.xml

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config>
    <modules>
        <MagePal_RemovePromoMenu>
            <active>true</active>
            <codePool>local</codePool>
        </MagePal_RemovePromoMenu>
    </modules>
</config>
