To disable the rendering of the HTML try this, it worked for me. Someone else confirm this is right, I just started hacking the code two days ago so I might be missing something.

In the Saphire/core/Model/Hierachy.php file you'll find a getChildrenAsUL function line number 37. If you insert after

foreach($children as $child) {

these lines of code

if(!$child->canEdit())
  continue;

the HTML for the tree nodes won't render.

After further research that was a pretty bad solution, that class is used to decorate other classes so who knows what gets broken by doing that. I found a better easier solution that solves the html rendering and the subpages:

In the cms/code/LeftAndMain.php on line number 388 you'll find a $sitetree variable being set, change that to this:

				$siteTree = $obj->getChildrenAsUL("", '
						($child->canEdit()?"<li " . ($child->canEdit()?"id=\"record-$child->ID\"":"") . " class=\"" . $child->CMSTreeClasses($extraArg) . "\">" .
						"<a href=\"" . ($child->canEdit()?Director::link(substr($extraArg->Link(),0,-1), "show", $child->ID):"javascript:;;;") . "\" class=\"" . $child->CMSTreeClasses($extraArg) . "\" title=\"' . _t('LeftAndMain.PAGETYPE','Page type: ') . '".$child->class."\" >" . 
						($child->canEdit()?($child->TreeTitle()):"&nbsp;") . 
						"</a>":"")
	'					"</a>"
	'

This is a better solution because your not messing with the core code and should only affect the Sitetree.  All the decorator Hierarchy class does a simple php eval on the template so the inline ifs should solve the issue.  The tree looks a bit messed up, but everything works I'm sure you guys can figure out a way to hack the css to fix the tree.  Also the code is a bit messy I was trying several different things so you might want the extraneous inline ifs deleted.

well done, I have not tested your code but had looked at this line of code and tried to implement what you did, this is exactly the place to make this modification happen

hi, quick note on upgrade for 2.3.2, change occurs in cms/code/LeftAndMain.php : line 517

$siteTree = $obj->getChildrenAsUL("", '
					($child->canEdit()?"<li id=\"record-$child->ID\" class=\"" . $child->CMSTreeClasses($extraArg) . "\">" .
					"<a href=\"" . Director::link(substr($extraArg->Link(),0,-1), "show", $child->ID) . "\" class=\"" . $child->CMSTreeClasses($extraArg) . "\" title=\"' . _t('LeftAndMain.PAGETYPE','Page type: ') . '".$child->class."\" >" . 
					($child->TreeTitle()) . 
					"</a>":"")

Great, thanks Erwanpia. This should really get considered for the core, are there any relevant tickets open?
