perch_content_custom and hidden pages

I'm using the following to output data from the 'Program overview' region on a bunch of pages:

<?php
            perch_content_custom(['Program overview'], [
                'page' => '/internships/*',
                'template' => 'listings.html',
                'count' => 100,
                'sort'=>'overview_country',
                'sort-order'=>'ASC',
                'each' => function($item) {
                    $item['page_title'] = perch_page_attribute('pageTitle', array(
                    '_id' => $item['_pageID'],
                    ), true);
                return $item;
                },
            ]);
        ?>

It works but the issue is it also includes any pages which I have ticked 'hidden from main navigation'. Is there a way I can keep those pages hidden and not have them output to the page as they are now?

You can use perch_page_attribute() to check if the page is hidden in the same way you're getting the title.

I copied and pasted that function from another forum post I found so don't actually know how to write that code myself! Any chance you could provide the example? Thanks for help so far.

I would try:

if (perch_page_attribute('pageHidden', array( '_id' => $item['_pageID'], ), true)) {
// ... this is a hidden page ...
}

Ok thanks, this is my final code and it seems to work:

<?php
            perch_content_custom(['Program overview'], [
                'page' => '/internships/*',
                'template' => 'listings.html',
                'count' => 100,
                'sort'=>'overview_country',
                'sort-order'=>'ASC',
                'each' => function($item) {
                    $item['page_title'] = perch_page_attribute('pageTitle', array(
                    '_id' => $item['_pageID'],
                    ), true);

                    if (perch_page_attribute('pageHidden', array( '_id' => $item['_pageID'], ), true)) {
                    // do nothing if page hidden
                    } else {
                    return $item; 
                    }
                },
            ]);
        ?>
