"Smart Application Pages" not working on my blog

[jsepia]

I'm trying to create a private "Drafts" subcategory for a blog. I've gone and enabled "Smart Application Pages" on the blog itself, and then went into the Drafts subcategory and disabled all permissions related to "Anyone".


However, I can still view the link to the Drafts subcategory when I'm logged out.


Is this normal? If not, what am I doing wrong?

I can't see anything wrong with what you're doing.

The smart application feature works for me with a "Mixed" application with "Forum" sub-categories, but I have no experience of using it in an application with the sidebar. Perhaps there is a bug with that component? To test, you could try switching application types, to see if it is a problem restricted to sidebar applications.

Thank you, Greg. You were right, it works with Mixed, Forum and basically any application type that doesn't include a sidebar. My guess is that the subapps_list command doesn't take permissions into account, while children_list (used in Forum/Mixed) does. Being the noob that I am, I couldn't find a way to override subapps_list or do anything of the sort, so I had to remove the entire "Subcategories" section from the sidebar, at least for the time being.
