AW: [opencms-dev] Divide the navigation tree in two parts for separate use

[Stephan Hartmann]

Hi Manfred,

you must set the class in the corresponding ELEMENTDEF in your template.

Something like 

<ELEMENTDEF name="myNav">
<CLASS>com.opencms.defaults.CmsXmlExtNav</CLASS>
<TEMLATE>....</TEMPLATE>
</ELEMENTDEF>


myNav is the name of the ELEMENT in your template.

Bye,
Stephan
