Hi Jules,

I think most people do it by using the API - see the wiki documentation at http://our.umbraco.org/wiki/reference/api-cheatsheet/using-applicationbase-to-register-events. ; If you're struggling, I can give you some sample code which I use to default values when I'm back in the office at work.

James.

Hi James

That's exactly how I did it in the end - works like a treat.

Thanks

Jules

        public class onNewDocSetUmbracoNaviHide : ApplicationBase
        {
            public onNewDocSetUmbracoNaviHide()
            {
                Document.New += new Document.NewEventHandler(Document_New);
            }

            void Document_New(Document sender, umbraco.cms.businesslogic.NewEventArgs e)
            {
                if (sender.ContentType.Alias == "faqItem")
                {
                    sender.getProperty("umbracoNaviHide").Value = "1";
                    sender.getProperty("faqHeading").Value = sender.Text;
                }
                
            }
        }

Jules, fantastic, glad you got it sorted. James.

Hi Julian

Great that you got your problem solved, but with that solution the users still has the option to set the umbracoNaviHide to false and then make it  vissible in the menu, right? Don't know if this is a problem for you, but instead you could just remove the faqItem nodes from your navigation by exclude the document type.

Well, if your current solution is just fine for now, thee's of course no need to change that. Just wanted to mention it :)

You mean exclude it in the xslt? Yes that was always a possibility - at the time however I was just poking around in the api and wanted to do that way,

Addtionally I put the umbracoNaviHide property on its own tab called Menu and hid the tab using AttackMonkeys eminently useful TabHider.

Thanks for the comment :-)

Cheers

Jules

Cool Julian. That's totally fine. Just wanted to come up with a quick note if you hadn't thought about it already :)
