    Why u want to do this? if u want to hide this from someone, then try creating user with restricted permissions under System->permissions->Roles and create a new user from System->permissions->Roles.. – Vijay Mar 23 '11 at 07:23
  • @kvijayhari that's not an option in CE – Jonathan Day Mar 24 '11 at 01:27

Not exactly sure how you would do this, but basically you need to bind an Observer in the adminhtml render sequence that calls Mage_Adminhtml_Block_Widget_Tabs::removeTab($tabId) where $tabId is the Id of the websites tab (I think it's just "websites"). The trick is to find the right event to bind your Observer to, @Joseph's list of events should get you started. I would try something like adminhtml_block_html_before.

Your observer would also set the values on the product at the same time.

Good luck,
JD

In ProductController.php

  • Websites */

    if (!isset($productData['website_ids'])) {
    $productData['website_ids'] = array();
}

$productData['website_ids']=$this->getStoreWebsiteId(); //newly added

//newly added

public function getStoreWebsiteId(){

    $selectWebsite="SELECT * from core_website WHERE website_id!=0";
    $connection = Mage::getSingleton('core/resource')->getConnection('core_read');
    $value=$connection->fetchAll($selectWebsite);
    foreach($value as $websiteDetails){
        $websiteId[]=$websiteDetails['website_id'];
    }

    return $websiteId;
}
