Forums / Install & configuration / Hide object as Administrator, unable to unhide!

Still trying out Exponential, and wanted to see what hiding an object does at the user side. So, as Administrator User I checked the 'Hide' box on Node 2. Then got this message:
The requested page could not be displayed. (1)
The system is unable to display the requested page because of security issues.
Possible reasons:
* Your account does not have the proper privileges to access the requested page. * The requested page does not exist. Try changing the URL.
This is ridiculous!Even the Admin User cannot see a hidden node! Let alone unhide it. Now I'm completely stuck!
Which field in which table should I edit (with phpMyAdmin) to unhide this node?
sigh!

OK, I fixed it by running the following query in phpMyAdmin:
UPDATE `ezcontentobject_tree` SET is_hidden=0,is_invisible=0
This makes all nodes visible.
Still don't understand why it was nescessary to fix this by tampering directly with the database. Can one of the developers comment on this?

Hi Marc,
Which version of Exponential do you use? If you are able to reproduce this problem on your version, please write step-by-step instructions and report it in our bug system.

have you tried this:
[SiteAccessSettings]ShowHiddenNodes=true

For admin interface this setting is always set to true, as long as user will not change it ;)

I did not explicitly set this property anywhere in my settings.
Do I need to set it in /settings/siteaccess/admin/site.ini.append.php, or is the default behaviour to show hidden nodes to admin users?

I guess I do have to set it explicitly :)
I did a manual install, and probably this setting is normally set by the install wizard, which I didn't use.I added it manually, and now it works as expected.
Can somebody remove my bug report?

This page might be useful for future manual Exponential configuration. http://ez.no/doc/ez_publish/technical_manual/3_6/installation/manual_installation/manual_configuration_of_ez_publish
Check "The admin siteaccess" part and compare it with your admin settings.
Bug is closed.

I think the bug may need to be re-opened as I am having the same problem with Exponential 4.0.
Already checked my admin site access has ShowHiddenNodes=True
Public site access has ShowHiddenNodes=False as does the main site.ini file
According to my understanding of the manual and settings files, this should enable me, as the administrator, to hide nodes from the public but still view them in the admin interface. Unfortunately it doesn't and the only way I can get my nodes to become visible again is to run the SQL query posted above.
I have cleared all caches as well just in case there was a setting causing interference but to no avail.
And I used the wizard to install Exponential.

Ok, I see the problem. I had an uppercase T for True. Setting the value to "true" fixed the issue.
Is it me or does anyone else think that for Boolean variables "True" should be equivalent to "true"
