[TYPO3] sys_language_softExclude not working for table "pages"? SOLVED

[Georg Rehfeld]

Dear Sander,

thanks a lot for your solution, which works, as you told.

Oops, sorry, that I missed that, though it was right before my nose all
the time. Has to do with my brain just now filled with around 250 pages
from Typo3 books, online documentation and mailing list messages. All
the info isn't too well structured, at least in my brain ... which
hurts :-) .

This is a RTFM I really like and wanna see more around here:

- it has a working link to the right document and the right page therein
- it tells, _what_ to reread and _why_

So, gimme more of these!!!

Done and works! You definitely helped! Thanks again, Sander!

regards, Georg
