Page fields default values ignored (DocumentMenuHideInNavigation / DocumentShowInSiteMap)

Hello,

for me it's nor working right at Kentico 9.0.23, but you can use custom handler, for example:

using CMS.Base;

[DocumentHandler]
public partial class CMSModuleLoader
{
    public class DocumentHandler : CMSLoaderAttribute
    {
        public override void Init()
        {
            CMS.DocumentEngine.DocumentEvents.Insert.Before += Document_Insert_Before;
        }

        private void Document_Insert_Before(object sender, CMS.DocumentEngine.DocumentEventArgs e)
        {
            var doc = e.Node;
            if (doc == null) return;


            if (doc.ClassName.ToLowerCSafe()=="yourPageTypeClassName")
            {
                doc.SetValue("DocumentShowInSiteMap", false);
                doc.SetValue("DocumentMenuItemHideInNavigation", false);
            }
        }
    }
}

Hi Dawid,

That's exactly what I've done to get round my problem... I noticed though that I had to use the SetValue() method as the properties that were failing are Read Only... the other properties, that are working as expected, are not Read Only.

I'm assuming that this is the root cause of the problem

Yup, maybe this is the root.

Did you ask support?

No, I didn't - but it's probably worth me dropping them an email to clarify this question.

Cheers
