Hiding nodes

Tuesday 23 February 2010 8:05:57 am

Hello!

I am afraid what you want to achieve it not a native feature. From inspecting the nodes' table, you can see how the node visibility is stored:

mysql> describe ezcontentobject_tree;
+----------------------------+--------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
| Field                      | Type         | Null | Key | Default | Extra          |
+----------------------------+--------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
...
| is_hidden                  | int(11)      | NO   |     | 0       |                |
| is_invisible               | int(11)      | NO   |     | 0       |                |
...
+----------------------------+--------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+

further illustrated by this piece of documentation : http://ez.no/doc/ez_publish/technical_manual/4_x/concepts_and_basics/content_management/node_visibility

In short, the visibility is stored at the node level, and seems to be language-proof, meaning you probably will need to implement some sort of high level, home brew per-language-visibility system to satisfy your needs.

Anyone else has already done this ?

Hope this helped,
Cheers !

 {if $node.data_map.enable_comments.data_int}
            <h1>{"Comments"|i18n("design/ezwebin/full/article")}</h1>
                <div class="content-view-children">
                    {foreach fetch_alias( comments, hash( parent_node_id, $node.node_id ) ) as $comment}
                        {node_view_gui view='line' content_node=$comment}
                    {/foreach}
                </div>
        {/if}

Thanks for helping.

I would like to include scheduling, so i probably will have to look at using date comparioson to solve this.

Do you agree that this would affect the menu as well as the full node it self ? How about the cases where someone has embedded this.. i would have to update all of these templates as well?

Thanks.
