Remove the "view" tab [#1506094]

In the Drupal 7 version, the "View" tab is removed (e.g. when editing the node) if Rabbit Hole is active for the current node.

This is done by implementing hook_menu_local_tasks_alter(), but that hook isn't available for Drupal 6. We need to find another solution that removes the tab, but doesn't disable the node/123/view path. Maybe by altering the theme registry, or implementing some page alterations that might be available for Drupal 6?

That's interesting challenge. I'll look at it.

I'm re-opening this, because in the current latest version, this is still the case. The "view" tab is still visible. It's either a bug or a missing feature.

From a UX point, this doesn't make sense since you can only "edit" and "delete" (+ other actions). The "view" tab should be hidden when the RH behaviour is set to 403 or 404.

Also the title link in the content overview view, should link to the "edit" link in this case, not the "view" (but maybe a different ticket needed for this).
