    Using umbracoNaviHide

    Hi folks, I started with the vanilla SubPagesByLevel XSLT script, and modify the look, not the xslt code. However, this particular case, I forgot to add the umbracoNaviHide property to the DocumentType. I added it later, and set a few pages to "True" for this property to no effect. The pages are still visible in the menu. I have republished the entire site and that did not solve the issue either.

    Have I missed a step somewhere? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Cheers,
    Dany.

    Hi Dany,

    I would check that the variable name you have added to your document type is exactly  "umbracoNaviHide" as it is case sensitive, I have fallen into that trap a few times!

    You can also try re-publishing the top level node and say to include all children, this is different to re-publishing the entire site on the content node context menu. ( I think! )

    Also, try un-publishing the pages you are having a problem with, and then re-publishing them.

    Cheers,

    Chris

    Thanks Chris. Yes, I did use the correct casing for the alias - I think this forum removes upper casing from the subject line. I have tried all of those you suggested, all to no avail. It's really baffling me at the moment. Any other suggestions?

    Hi Dany,

    You created the property as a checkbox, right? And when you say "True" you just mean that you've checked the box on some pages... (?) Otherwise you've got the reason right there.

    Hi Dany,

    Does your nodes in the data/umbraco.config file have

    <data alias="umbracoNaviHide">1</data>

    ?

    I would check that first as you should be able to quickly tell if the problem is saving the property or parsing it in XSLT.

    Right...admittedly I had to do things in a bit of a rush so I skipped debugging and went straight to recreating the DocumentType and associated page straightaway. Sure enough, that did the trick! I have checked and checked the property alias and type and it definitely had the correct name, casing, and property type even before I re-created the DocumentType.

    Still bugs me how it feels so flaky at times...there's another problem I've been having but I'll post that in a new thread.

    I sometimes get the problem where I put "umbracoNaviHide " instead of "umbracoNaviHide" (a trailing or leading space will break the functionality)

    That's a great point Murray - I didn't think about whitespaces! Will be more careful next time, especially since I copied'n'pasted the alias...
