I am using show_menu2 module to display my menus.

I have added a page (privacy) that I have configured as "hidden"

This works ok on the menu system (i.e. Does not display privacy link) EXCEPT when I actually click on the page itself.

When I'm on the "privacy" page only, the Privacy link displays on the menu... Why is this so?  If the page is configured as hidden, why does it display?

Is there a flag that I am not using in show_menu2 that will hide hidden pages?

This is a somewhat recent change (see 4.8 from 8 Apr 2009). The change was so that items of a hidden menu item could still be shown as a menu. See http://www.websitebaker2.org/forum/index.php/topic,2584.msg82237.html#msg82237 and the next few messages.

However, some other's haven't liked the change (e.g. Stefek), however I didn't get a reply to my message to him here http://www.websitebaker2.org/forum/index.php/topic,2584.msg87606.html#msg87606 asking for more details.

If I can understand your use-case then I can probably make it work the way you want it to. Of course, I would prefer that there is a consensus for desired behaviour from more than one person.

Hello Brofield,
yes - my fault - I didn't answer - I just downgraded my SM2 Module and then forgot about this.

The behaviour is the same as Withsey has.
I just want the hidden pages to stay hidden, no matter if they are menu-current or not.

Regards,
Stefek

Hi All,

I have found the answer...

In the show_menu2 v4.8 module code in the file 'include.php' I commented out the following and it works like a dream now (i.e. Hidden pages NEVER show on the menu)

include.php:line#529: $sql = str_replace('hidden', 'IGNOREME', $sql); // we want the hidden pages

Simply comment this line out and it works as you would expect with hidden pages.

Wish I had found this fix sooner.  I thought I was losing it.  All of a sudden all my hidden pages were showing in my menu structures.  Very annoying, and troublesome in some cases.

I spent the day changing all the hidden page "menu" settings to a non-visible menu block.  This worked, but it's an extra few steps on all my sites.

Thanks for finding the issue and reporting it!

Sweet, I was having the same problem and this fixed it. Thanks!

The problem were, that by fixing the show_menu2  a file were exchanged. In meantime it were corrected. Find here the coorect show_men2 Version 4.9

I hope so. I use rev.1287 and that one still has the bug. The fix works fine anyway.
