I've looked at old forum postings that say that you can turn off hotlinking of a section heading in the left navigation panel by unpublishing the section, but publishing an exhibit.
I cannot make this work! If I unpublish the section then it simply disappears along with all subordinate exhibits.
I am going around in circles because what I am seeing on screen is not what the forum posts are telling me should be happening.
Example workflow:
Admin > Sections > Create new section (Enter section name "new_section" and folder name "new_section") > Update > return to index (Indexhibit top left) > new_section is showing as unpublished.
So far, so good. Now, add a new exhibit. From the index screen, Create > Exhibit > "new_exhibit" in section "new_section". "new_section" is showing as unpublished; "new exhibit" is showing as published.
Preview the site. Neither new_section nor new_exhibit are visible. :(
Edit "new_section" and turn publishing on. Preview the site.
Both "new_section" and "new_exhibit" are showing and both are clickable. :(
I do not want this. I want "new_section" to appear as an unclickable section title, with "new_exhibit" clickable under it.
The forum postings say that this should be possible, but I cannot replicate what they describe.
What am I getting wrong?
Thanks.
