[opencms-dev] disappearing navigation (get)

[Simon Knightley]

Manfred,

Your template looks fine, but you don't say what
parameters you pass to the getNavTree.  Make sure that
your content is hierarchical, so that all content for
category A is under a folder for this category and not
at the same level as the index page.
