Ok, I’m coming into this blind and appreciate you’ve spent a fair bit of time on this one but I’m hoping you’ll entertain my poking around just in case it’s led to a potential solution.

My problem is, I don’t understand why in publisher_site_pages.php you need this:

ee()->db->where('entry_id', ee()->input->post('entry_id'))
    ->update('structure', array(
    'hidden' => 'n'
));

Your comment above says:

// Always set the visibility to no, we handle that in our own hook // and via the hide_in_nav column in publisher_titles

If I comment out / remove the code above, it restores the ability to use Structure’s “Hide From Nav” as per normal. I tested this pretty well and it doesn’t seem to have affected anything for me; Publisher (Lite) seems to still be working as it should be.

Now from here I may have travelled a little off course but I did try to continue poking around to find out what negative affect this may have actually had on things and I did find that in Publisher_Entry.php the Save function is looking for post data which contains a value for “structure__hidden” but for me, this function actually has no affect as it only fires if the hook “publisher_entry_save_end” is active in the exp_extensions table… which it isn’t (for me)…. so if I’ve broken something I suspect that I’ll only see this when another extension tries to us this hook in the future.

So, I am left wondering whether it’s really necessary to override the exp_structure table values? Perhaps underneath certain conditions it is but for my setup where the “publisher_entry_save_end” hook isn’t utilised, I don’t think it is. WIth this said, I really have no idea how what you listed on the Structure support desk actually affects this problem and given this, perhaps there’s something obvious I’m just not getting: https://structure.tenderapp.com/discussions/suggestions/1104-structure_get_selective_data_results-doesnt-support-removing-nodes

However, if it’s possible that any of this can throw some light on how we can safely return to using “Hide from Nav” without affecting Publisher (Lite), then it would be worth knowing about.

Cheers,

Sam
