Question

Can someone tell me how to exclude document types from the Cogworks Flexible Navigation?

How do I allow for an array or list of document types to be excluded from the navigation?

Note: I do not want to use “umbracoNaviHide” as I want document types to be excluded, I do not want to add a true/false checkbox to my document type and then manually check them all.

This depends on whether you are using the Razor version or the XSLT version. For XSLT, you would add a *[name()!='MyDoctypeAlias' or name()!='MyOtherDoctypeAlias'] to the “match” attribute on the nodeIterator template in the XSLT file.

For the Razor version, inside the nodeIterator helper, I would define as follows:

List<string> listOfDoctypesToExclude = new List<string>() { "MyDoctypeAlias", "MyOtherDoctypeAlias" };
if (!listOfDoctypesToExclude.Contains(currentNode.NodeTypeAlias) {
  // continue with render
}
