Hiding a brochure page from list

[EdHarrison]

Hello - tried the knowledge base article on the above but when I get to the "insert block" I get coding errors every time, I created the new variable first which looks ok - any help appreciated?

Heres the code...

Thanks heres the layout the KB says to add the block to after creating the new variable called ShowPageInSidebar

<a href="<actinic:variable name="BrochurePageURL" />" class="product_section"><actinic:variable name="BrochureName" /></a>

Heres the block I'm adding but not sure where to add:

<actinic:variable name="ShowPageInSidebar" /> == true

11. Go to the 'Design' tab and in the preview pane click on one of the brochure pages in your list. You should now be looking at a layout called something like 'Simple Brochure Page Link' or 'Standard Brochure Page Link' etc.

12. Highlight all the code in the layout and click the 'Insert Block' button:

13. You should now be in the Condition Editor. Change the condition to:

<actinic:variable name="ShowPageInSidebar" /> == true

You can just copy and paste the code straight into the editor.

14. Click 'OK' and then click 'Apply' to confirm your changes.

You can now go into the 'Properties' tab of any brochure page that you don't want in the list, and change 'Show Page In Sidebar' to 'False'.

Bear in mind i'm rusty on this sort of stuff.... but reading the docs

your first code block is the link that appears in the nav
your 2nd code block is the condition to say show/dont show it

I worked through the KB - see attached image showing what i did

how does this compare to yours?

Now its totally sorted thanks for the help my list looks normal again!

Well there is one annoying bug - in the nav bar its showing an empty box in the list - the brochure page name and link text are not there but this is really ugly - if I add lots of brochure pages this will look very untidy.

Seems bad that you cant hide things from the navigation in an evolved software package - would have thought this was basic not a half working mod requirement!
