How do I hide a page for a menu?

How do I hide the homepage from the menu? I thought using visible: false would work, but it's still showing up.

You can easily filter pages by adding a custom page property. The property name you use can be anything, I tend to use visiblefor this.

For example to hide pages from your menus you can add a visible property. These are the steps required to set this up:

1. Add the custom page property to your config

In /joomlatools-pages/config.phpadd

return array(
    'page' => [
        'visible'   => true,  
    ],
);

This defines a custom page property called visible that will be added to each page and set to true by default.

2. Filter your pages collection for your menu

<? $items = collection('pages', ['folder' => $folder ?? '.', 'level' => $level ?? null,  'recurse' => 'true', 'filter' => ['visible' => 'true']])  ?>

Filters your pages using the visibleproperty, only adding pages which are visible. For a menu snippet check: #601

3. Exclude pages from your menu

You can now easily hide a page from your menu by adding: visible: false in the frontmatter of the page

Title: Foo
visible: false

Thats it! Happy coding.
