Hello,

I am using wicked code sqlsitemapprovider or it's VB version. Most of the things are going OK! But when I wanted to hide some of the nodes from appearing on menu while staying shown on sitemappath I cannot figure it out. I tried to change the sqlsitemapprovider code but was unsuccessfull. I have found David Sussman's (from sp.net) answer. but it was for a .sitemap file. So how can I manage to do the same with the sql sitemap provider mentioned above.

I added a column named visible to my SiteMap table it's type is bit and then I have done these changes (Sorry for such long code):

What I want is to tell sqlsitemapprovider to include an attribute within each sitemapnode called visible="true/false". Since this will be an extra attribute for sitemappath and menu (I think) this code would be doing the hiding job in menu not in breadcrumb (according to David Sussman's reply to a similar files .sitemap based thread as I linked above in my question):

Protected Sub Menu1_MenuItemDataBound(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.MenuEventArgs) Handles Menu1.MenuItemDataBound  
    Dim node As SiteMapNode = CType(e.Item.DataItem, SiteMapNode)  
    ' check for the visible attribute and if false  
    ' remove the node from the parent  
    ' this allows nodes to appear in the SiteMapPath but not show on the menu  
    If Not String.IsNullOrEmpty(node("visible")) Then  
        Dim isVisible As Boolean  
        If Boolean.TryParse(node("visible"), isVisible) Then  
            If Not isVisible Then  
                e.Item.Parent.ChildItems.Remove(e.Item)  
            End If  
        End If  
    End If  
End Sub  

how to achieve this? thank you.

Update: I have found something very close at this page but still unable to deploy the solution.

Dim atts As NameValueCollection = Nothing
    Dim attributeString As String = reader("attributes").ToString().Trim()
    If Not String.IsNullOrEmpty(attributeString) Then
        atts = New NameValueCollection()
        Dim attributePairs() As String = attributeString.Split(";")
        For Each attributePair As String In atts
            Dim attributes() As String = attributePair.Split(":")
            If attributes.Length = 2 Then
                atts.Add(atts(0), attributes(1))
            End If
        Next
    End If

  Dim node As New SiteMapNode(Me, id.ToString(), url, title, description, rolelist, _
    atts, Nothing, Nothing)

Checkout this link. he overides the IsAccessibleToUser property on the SiteMapprovider to selectivly show nodes based on the role of the current user. you caould change the condiftion to suit your needs.

I already added the functionality to apply membership but I am examining the code . But I think that sitemapprovider should send that the visible attribute to the sitemap so that the Menu1_MenuItemDataBound sub sees it and decides whether to show or remove the respective node. thanks for the answer nothwithstanding.

At last I have found a solution. And it is here. Thanks so much to Kadir ÖZGÜR, Sanjay UTTAM, David Sussman.
