Generic Properties (e.g. "Hide in navigation") setting default values?

Templates and document types

Hi,

I'm using a variant of the Runway FAQ module, and want my faqQestions to default to "Hide in navigation = true".

Currently, the Generic Property "Hide in navigation" (alias: umbracoNaviHide, Type: True/false) is defined in faqQuestion Document Type. This is fine, but it always defaults to false or not checked. Is there any way to turn this around? Hide in navigaition shoud be my default, with the option to switch.

Thanks!

Perhaps something like this would work for you? http://our.umbraco.org/projects/default-values-for-umbraco

Also, you can of course just reverse the condition in xslt, so that it umbracoNaviHide=0 then hide the page, check to unhide. Then just change the label from "hide from navigation?" to "show in navigation"

Your best bet is to reverse the logic in your output and the label of the document property. So, instead call it Show in navigation? and in your XSLT you would say:
```
<xsl:for-each select="$currentPage/node [string(data [@alias='umbracoNaviHide']) = '1']">
```
Cheers,
Nik

I would recommend you try out this package ;)

http://our.umbraco.org/projects/standard-values-in-umbraco

On the project page you'll find a short screencast, which shows you how you can add default/standard values on your document types.
