Show link only if page is published

This is a mega-noob question but here goes...

I have a basic html table containing a list of hyperlinks to other pages within the site. But I only want a link to be shown ’if’ the page being linked to is ’published’.

Is this possible with a simple bit of code?

Steve

it depends how you plan to add the links. if you hard code them I can’t think of an easy way to do it, but if wayfinder for example generate your links you can choose to hide unpublished docs.

I echo sinbad, Wayfinder or Ditto is the way to go (depending on which best fits your requirements) - you could easily use the templating options in both of these to do what you want them to do.

Hmmm,

Maybe I am misunderstanding this, but doesn’t Wayfinder not show unpublished documents by default? And I can’t recall a parameter to change that...or? I know Ditto has a published docs parameter though.

@kongondo Yeah, Wayfinder only shows published documents - but there is this patch to make it behave differently.

To expand on my previous comment (to clarify to steve_c about what choice to make), the choice of whether to use Wayfinder depends if the listed documents are structured hierarchically or whether they are spattered about the site - the latter would be where Ditto becomes handy to generate the listing with the finer control that Ditto provides over which documents get included in the listing.
