Hide full categories from ToC // Do not show unsuscribed articles in ToC

table-of-contents

What functionality is missing? What is unsatisfying with the current situation?

  When setting subscriber groups for a given article, players can´t acces its page BUT it shows in the world´s Table of Content. This can spoil content between subscribers groups.  

How does this feature request address the current situation?

  It makes the subscriber system more consistent, hiding content everywhere  

What are other uses for this feature request?

  Hiding full categories from the ToC is an easy way for a DM to manage his/her script for game sessions. There is a lot of content that will never be public, but a DM wants to manage like description of the rooms in a dungeon, with secret traps and treasures inside.   There is also content being developed, not only by the DM but the players too during sessions, that should be accesible right away. Example: a player has a secret conversation with an NPC which is unwknown for his party members. If the DM wants to write that NPC article, it shouldn´t be shown on the ToC

Steps to reproduce the error:   +Have two subscriber groups created +Create an article and assign it to subscriber group A +Log in with a user member of the subscriber group B +Open table of content   Subscriber group B can see the article on the table on content (Although they can´t access its detail page)

Hi! After testing the behavior of private articles and subscriber groups, we can't reproduce what you report (which is not the intended behavior). I suggest emailing us at [email protected] if you need help using subscriber groups!

    I believe this is already a setting. In your world settings under Monetization, you can toggle secured links. If this is enabled (and I believe by default it is) it will show links to private articles. This feature is there to make users aware of private content (to get them to come to the access denied page where you for example can advertise your Patreon or Kofi).

    This could be useful - though I do not have that problem since I use the bookcover variant of my main body of work and then just nest the articles (nested articles are just shown to readers if they can access them, same goes for links within the text), I can see how people might want this feature
