Pages published by default

[Joss]

I am getting a bit of strange behaviour (that I admit I have not tested properly -  I am short of time at the moment)

If I create a new page as a child of "home" and choose a template that HAS a template file, then after pressing save, the page is UN published.

Good!

However, if I create a page as a child of home and choose a template that does NOT have a template file, then after pressing save, the page is PUBLISHED.

Not good!

This is on the dev version of PW, by the way.

Am I missing something?

(I usually am)

A page with no template also is not viewable and has no publish mechanismus. If you want to still have that you could add a publish checkbox and use that in queries assuming you have the data somewhere output. Otherwise you could give it a template for that matter.

The problem is that although it is unviewable, it still ends up on the menu.

Oh, and good morning!

Edit - I mean, the front end menu

[Soma]

Thats why i sugested the checkbox. Or you can add a check in your menu code with $page->viewable(). That should ommit pages with no template file.

Thanks Soma.

I think your second code is the best work-around!

[Soma]

Theres a like button by the way ;-)
