[opencms-dev] Navigation question

[mfoley5 at csc.com.au]

I wish ours was ready...   we're working on it for a job due in a month or
so.   If anybody can help Nico, would they mind helping me too?  If I get
permission (fairly likely) I might be able to return something to the
community if nobody else gets there first.

Regards,
Mark

Hi,





I want to implement navigation with rollovers and layers.


A primary Navigation with 'n' 3-5 or more Items...should be generated
automatically from a folder root and each of them should have a separated
layer...the layer contains the secondary navigation. (next folder level)





So I have to read the whole tree at once - I think - in order to get all
navigation items...





Some problems I have with doing that (besides I did only a very easy
navigation at this time)



   1. I don't know how to separate logically the primary navigation from
      the secondary navigation
   2. positioning the layers might be a problem. But I think will solve
      this through properties in folders. Or extending CmsXmlNav. with a
      new method. Which shifts every new layer to the right depending from
      it's position and how many nav items where displayed before.





Did somebody extend the CmsXmlNav? It would be great if somebody posts some
code examples it to me.


If somebody has implemented such a navigation.. it would also be great
posting me.





Thank you, very much,





Nico
