I have an asset listing page that uses a structured root selector to display PDFs in folders. There are some subfolders under the Root Node that I don't want to be available on the front end, but nothing I've done removes them from the front end. I've tried changing the status of the folders to Under Construction, removing Read Permission for Public User, Asset Statuses to List set to Live, etc, etc. What have I missed? I've read through the relevant section in the Asset Listing manual and haven't found anything that helps.
The structure root node selector configuration doesn't really allow for filtering to that level. Instead of including the structured root node selector you could potentially use another asset listing to produce the drop down list of root node locations and a dynamic root node from a GET variable, then nest that into the body of your original asset listing. You'd need a form element, or some javascript to get it going, but it certainly wouldn't be difficult.

Hi Anthony, thanks for your reply, but I still don't understand why folders appear on the frontend when they have Under Construction status, plus they've had Read Permission for Public User removed.
Hi Pedro
The folders are showing in the list because they are Type_1 assets so if you change them to Type_2 assets then make sure that your asset list only list type 1 assets
Also your asset list will look different when you are not logged in

thanks for your reply, Dave.
I changed the folders that I don't want to appear on the front end to Type_2 assets and made sure that the asset list only lists Type_1 assets, and turned Direct L:inks Only turned on, but these folder still appear on the front end, even when I'm not logged in.
It seems that when you use root node selection most other settings in the Details screen are ignored…
