Parent Level Selection in Filter
Parent levels that have sub levels are now selectable in the course selector filter.

Hidden in Course Selector
New "Hidden in course selector" checkbox on course edit page.
This hides the course from being displayed in the course selector on the website. However the course is still "online" and purchasable if customers are sent the direct link or for processing manual sales.
