Is there a way to hide a page on a specific device?

you could link to the page with a transparent button from another page.  but there is no way that i know of to just hide a page completely in a page collection, if that is what you are talking about.

what is it that you are trying to accomplish?

In Nevo land there is no need to "hide" a page as we do not call an IR code from a page but from a database of codes.

Can you give more details as to what you are trying to achieve.

A page is hidden if no jump is made to it, but that would be pointless, wouldn’t it?

D.

you can hide it in the way that you can put it in its own page collection and put a hidden button to it somewhere . .


as a trick if you'd like . .
(like to get to devices pages)

you can set a code on the home page to get to devices pages.

make 3 copies of the home page (in three different page groups)
make it so on the first home page, if you press the up direction arrow button is then takes you to the second home page
then on 2nd home page make it so if you press the enter button it takes you to the 3rd home page.

then on the 3rd home page make it so if you press the up button again it takes you to the devices page group.


what you are basically doing is setting it so if you are on the home page and you press UP, ENTER, UP you get to the devices page.

actually fairly easy to do that (copy and paste the home page 2 times)
fairy low chances of client hitting button combo on by mistake . .


does that make sense?

You could also have a "setup" button on the home page that does the same thing. Setup takes you to a number pad and then you have 2 more pages named 2 and 4 (for example). 2 takes you to another number pad and 4 takes you to the setup page.

Gives the illusion of entering in a passcode. Code is 247 in this example...

Press the setup button on home page....



Press 2...



2 appears in the faux feedback box... Press 4...



2 and 4 appear in the faux feedback box... Press 7...



Your at the setup page...



You could add in an additional keypad page where the client would press ENTER before they get to the setup page also.

The home button gets you out of the hidden setup menu.

Click save and save it to your desktop then click run to launch the emulator so that you can test drive it.

I actually designed a setup very similar to the one listed above for a customer who did not want his kids operating his system so I put a 5 digit lock code set up to get to the activity menu. A month later the customer had me take it off because the remote was always dead from the kids trying to crack the code. I didn't have the heart to tell him there isn't a programmable translation for a good old kick in the pants that he needed. =)

ha thats great ..


love the keypad idea.

I found a couple of holes in the original idea. One was using the feedback box that displayed the selected number. This makes it super easy to 'hack' your way into the setup menu. I went thru and corrected what i thought were mistakes.

I put together a howto for anyone interested. It can be found here [Link: guijaboard.com] .
