Specify visibility on MvcSiteMapNode attribute?

[waynebrantley]

There seems to be no way to specify visibility or any other custom attribute on the [MvcSiteMapNode] attribute you declare in code.

I have a custom VisiblityProvider, but there is no way to get it parameters when declaring nodes in code. So I had to create a visibility provider for each possible parameter and then assign that to the MvcSiteMapNode attribute. Figured there was a better way?

Here is same question on SO: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12790532/how-do-i-specify-an-mvc-sitemaps-visibility-attribute-using-code-based-attribute

I am using the latest build and using default visibility provider. I have provided visibility attribute at one node which i only want to appear in breadcrumbs and not in menu. The sitemapPathhelper is specified in visibility parameter with !* next to it from left to right. It seems to not even consider that in default provider.
Do i need to create visibility provider for this node separately and assign it in code to make this work or does the default visibility provider checks for sietmappath and respects !* to not show it in other menus.

[waynebrantley]

My question above is when creating nodes in code only. If using XML this is not an issue. In any case you have to setup the visiblity provider to use the provided 'FilteredSiteMapNodeVisiblityProvider' to get the functionality you are referencing above (not the DefaultSiteMapNodeVisibilityProvider - which does nothing..as you noted)

BTW, I answered your SO post too. ;-)

I have fixed this issue some time ago in v4, but we only got the Nuget packaging online recently. I would appreciate if you could verify the fix so we can close this issue.
