search includes hidden pages

[bbeer]

Hi

the search outputs pages that are set to hidden in settings. the  search term is

$matches = $pages->find("title|body|summary%=$q, limit=50");

How can I exclude hidden pages from search listings Can I add other criteria to exclude pages?

thanks for your help

Strange....could this be your problem?

TL:DR = updating a wrong site hence not seeing changes? i.e. have both local and live site admins open

Would they display as you are logged in as superuser?

[bbeer]

they display always, as if they where not set to hide form searches and navigation.

I don't think that it would make a difference? $pages->find will exclude hidden by default, regardless of permissions and roles

Ok getting closer. those pages where children of a hidden document, but where set to visible. Is there a way to prevent such pages.

Another problem is, that unpublished pages are showing up in the search results as well. Can this be prevented?

What do you mean by 'prevent'? You would want to enforce that children of a hidden page are also hidden?

Unpublished pages should be excluded by default; i'm not sure but you've got a funky thing going on.

Does explicitly adding status!=unpublished to your selector solve unpublished pages showing in the result?

[bbeer]

Solved! the unpublished Documents where listed when logged in only. 

Sorry for the confusion.

Need to add some more facts for your understanding.

In that site we use parent documents as folders for certain products (groups). We have several product groups. The client was sure, when he sets the parent Document to hidden, that all the child elements (products of that group) would be hidden as well. 

So it would really help, if it would be possible to hide all documents from search of a certain template, when the parent document is hidden, making it possible to hide whole product groups with one click.

your advise is much appreciated!

Hello,

my question is the same: how to hide page tree, or only parent is hidden and want to hide from search results and all it's children?

Tried with selector "parent != hidden", "has_parent != hidden" etc. but without success (not logged in).

Also option with id works but I need flexible options (for adminstrations / clients).

Thanks.

Try this, but it can only work for direct descendants, not for a whole tree.

parent.status!=hidden

To get the whole tree excluded you'd need a more advanced selector, which only works on db calls and not for runtime filtering:

has_parent!=[status=hidden]

This does first call all hidden pages and then exclude them with the has_parent selector

[OLSA]

has_parent!=[status=hidden]

Thank you LostKobrakai! That selector works.

My idea was to create field where they can store/type parents id like : "2025|2230"... and later in search template "has_parent!={...}".

Thanks and regards.

Try this. Closed admin pages

has_parent!=2
