Programmatically enable Show Subsites and Show Pages for Global navigation in SharePoint

In this blog we will be seeing how to enable or disable Show Subsites and Show Pages for Global navigation using object model in SharePoint 2010

I have a site collection with the SharePoint Server Publishing Infrastructure feature enabled on the site collection and sites with the SharePoint Server Publishing site feature activated.

Go to Site Actions => Site Settings => Look and Feel => Navigation => Global Navigation.




In the global navigation you could see the following options



Programmatically Enable/Disable Global Navigation Settings


using (SPSite siteCollection = new SPSite("http://servername:1111/sites/sample"))
{
using (SPWeb web = siteCollection.RootWeb)
{
PublishingWeb publishingWeb = PublishingWeb.GetPublishingWeb(web);
// Global Navigation
//Show Subsites
publishingWeb.Navigation.GlobalIncludeSubSites = false;
//Show Pages
publishingWeb.Navigation.GlobalIncludePages = false;
// Maximum number of dynamic items to show within this level of navigation:
publishingWeb.Navigation.GlobalDynamicChildLimit = 60;

//Update the changes
publishingWeb.Update();

}
}
