umbracoNaviHide doesn't work

Using Umbraco And Getting Started

Umbraco 7
All my recent projects has implemented umbracoNaviHide inside a True/False property, and they all work just fine. In my 7.6.9 upgraded project, I simply cannot get a True/False value to work.

On my Master composition, I have a "Navigation" tab together with a True/False property. All my pages inherit through that composition.

When I do something like:
```
var menuItems = CurrentPage.Site().Children;

@foreach(var item in menuItems) {
    if(item.IsVisible()) {
        
    }
}
```
It doesn't work. It should work, as it has in all my lastest projects. Here's what I've tried:
```
var menuItems = CurrentPage.Site().Children.Where("Visible");
var menuItems = CurrentPage.Site().Children.Where("umbracoNaviHide == false"); //setting this to true gives me no results
var menuItems = CurrentPage.Site().Children.Where(x => x.IsVisible());
var menuItems = CurrentPage.Site().Children.Where("randomProperty == false"); //or true

foreach(var item in menuItems) {
    if(!item.HasValue("umbracoNaviHide)) {  }
    if(item.GetPropertyValue("umbracoNaviHide")) == "false") {  }
}
```
I think that's all. I did update my ModelsBuilder. I did restart the project. I did remove the property and readd it. I basically tried everything, but it just won't work.

What on earth?

Hi Morten,

can you just add a screenshot of your property on your composition document type?

Hi Michael

Here it is: https://i.imgur.com/j2ciMsv.png

Here is a composition inherited document type: https://i.imgur.com/CcqeVPb.png

"Gem fra menuen" means "Hide from the menu".

Morten,

can you try to rename the alias of the property to something else and test this to see if the property then work in your razorcode?

It doesn't work. I've completely removed the tab, saved, created a new property and renamed it into "somethingRandom". Then tried with GetPropertyValue("somethingRandom") == "false" and Where("somethingRandom" == "false").

This is so weird.

Morten,

can you add a screenshot of the content node where you use this property?

Also how is the modelsbuilder set? Can you add a screenshot of this ( located in the developer section ).

I sent you a content node screenshot that shows it has the property on it: https://i.imgur.com/CcqeVPb.png

The ModelsBuilder is set to Dll. Here's a screenshot: https://i.imgur.com/9iruy0d.png

Hmmm thats very weird...

Maybe its a caching issue, can you republish your entire site and see if that helps?

One more thing that you can try out, remove the property from the composition Master document type and add it to the document type which is used for creating the content node.

So that only THAT one content node has it? All my content nodes inherit from a homepage content node, but not as the document type, because I don't want them to inherit using nested inheritage.

So you want me to add the umbracoNaviHide property to a single node, such as the homepage I have?

Correct, to test that the issue is not related to the composition inheritance.

Weird, I don't think my reply went through.

Nope, I cannot get that to work either.

Okay this is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo weird. Take a look at this:

@foreach(var item in menuItems) {
    <p>@item.GetPropertyValue("umbracoNaviHide") - @item.Name</p>
}

This gives me the following:

FALSE - Our offers
FALSE - Technology
TRUE - Projects
FALSE - About us
FALSE - Gallery
TRUE - Contact

However, this is how the umbracoNaviHide is setup in the backoffice:

Ticked - Our offers
Not ticked - Technology
Ticked - Projects
Not ticked - About us
Not ticked - Gallery
Ticked - Contact

How the flying hell is this possible?

Can you remove the xml file from the app_data folder which contains all the data of your content and republish your site?

App_Data or its child folders does not contain any XML files (except an empty one inside \TEMP\ClientDependency).

Also, if I change Our offers's property to not ticked, it still remains as FALSE. If I do the same for Technology it changes between FALSE and TRUE.

I'm 100% sure at this point, that I'm encountering a bug.

Sry I mean the App_Data/umbraco.config file, thats the file which contains all content details.

Ah yeah, I did that now and it didn't change anything, unfortunately. The newly generated file is the exact same as the old.

Okay our.Umbraco.org is acting up right now. Most of my replies aren't appearing on the page. Keep the replies as single replies, not as nested replies.

I removed the file, republished the site, and compared the two files. They're identical. Completely identical.

Hi Morten,

Can you try this?
```
@ { 
    var site = Model.Content.Site(); 
    var selection = site.Children.Where(x => x.IsVisible()).ToArray();
}
```
After that a foreach as usual...

Not with currentPage but with Model. Just giving it a shot, it's a strange problem but you never know...

Kind regards,

Benoit

It sounds like a caching issue and indexes not being rebuilt. Remove App_Data/umbraco.config and/or try rebuilding from the backoffice.
