Exclude from Nav & Page List Block

Permalink
I added a page on my site that I wanted to be hidden from the navigation. I checked the Exclude from Nav box and it excluded it from the navigation perfectly. However, the page was still showing up in a Page List block. Am I missing another option to exclude from Page Lists or is this a bug? Anyone else run into this?

Page list doesn't look for that parameter, just auto-nav. it probably should... add it to bugs on here. thx

it's called "exclude from nav" and not "exclude from page list".

I'm using this as a feature to display page lists (like news) that shouldn't appear in the nav. My javascript menu would get huge..

shouldn't that be a different attribute?

single_pages are also shown in auto_nav block. Is there a possibility to prevent them being shown in auto_nav?

that doesn't work for single pages?

Remo,
It probably should be a different attribute. I could see where you would want to exclude something from navigation but still have it show up in a Page List block.

Why wouldn't you just have a setting in the Pagelist block to hide or show "excluded" pages?

im kinda wondering with lucas on this one...
a "nav" is a navigation.. not just the autonav block.. a page list is a type of navigation.. no?

perhaps it makes more sense to talk about what the cases are where you would need to display something in a page list but not the autonav?

I would argue that Remo's news articles should be held under a news page somewhere.

not sure if I get what you mean.

even if the pages are held under a "news" page, the'll appear in the auto nav block?

news should appear in the auto nav but not its children, when clicking on news, a page list is shown that lists all the sub pages which are exlucded from auto nav..

?

so just set the autonav to not show children on the news page... seems like it'd be a pain in the ass to try to pull that off with a custom attribute on every page...

in this case it's a javascript menu and I therefore have to display all the child pages.

yeah it's a pain in the ass, but imagine someone wrote an interface that creates subpages.. like an extension to the page list that is also able to add new subpages with the advantage that you don't have to select the page type, nor any attributes..

This sounds fine to me - seems like it would work.

In my search to find an answer to how to display pages in a Page List block that have been excluded from the nav, I came across this.

Is it possible to *include* pages that have been excluded from the nav in a Page List block?

I really need this in order to show a logged-in user the pages they can access after they log in...

Thanks
