hi, still got no useful answers to some questions in http://www.phpwcms.de/forum/viewtopic.php?t=11831
a few days ago.
i try to describe my problem again:

i use the teaser_ex rep-tag, to permanently show a article listing from a >news< category. (to have permanent appeareance, i put the tag in my default page-template in the >left< area. is there another way to do this?)

this category should never be visible in the main navigation.

but what happens:

although i check the >invisible< button (in the site-structure admin-section), the categories' name >news< will finally appear in the main navigation, if someone clicks on a >news< article, that the teaser_ex rep-tag gives me on the left side.

what to do?

what about the "frontend menu status"? you have checked the "hide"-option?

yes, that is what i mean with

in general, is creating a hidden category the right way to store some extra content? in mysql,
there would simply be a separate table for it. but here in phpwcms, its all under one big site structure. confusing...

thanks, ruediger

Hi ruediger,

I think that the best way in order to help you is to show us your page and the category that is shown and that you don' t want it to.

so i put my site online for you to see:
http://www.kulturproduzent.de/cms/

and here some screenshots of my backend

http://www.kulturproduzent.de/aktuell.jpg

watch what is happening to my main navigation, if you click on a left >aktuell< article...strange!
