[opencms-dev] Navigation question

[Nico Krause]

Hi Mark,

I tried the implementations which Martin sends to the list...
and I want to point out that this implementation is working very good.
I played in sum not more than 2 days with it (which is too long) - but it
works now.

I just wrote a (German) Email to Martin. And we talked about sending
something from my implementations back to the OpenCMS Community - because
We had the opinion that a lot of projects will need a navigation structure
which I did... 

The thing is: It has to be well documented... I think the first step would
be to forward an NavigationExample.zip which includes necessary example
files and documentations ready to run to the OpenCMS Group  - which may put
it into the downloads section.

In some weeks I start documentation tasks for our intranet and
in that timeline it's also to do some documentations for the navigation
issues. The documentation has to be in "English" because my boss is
American. So it may fit the needs of OpenCMS.

But don't talk so much - do it ... I always talk to me ... but...u know  I
will do my best. (I'm the one and only programmer in this company)

So if you cannot wait - please use the files from Martin - they're very
useful ! (Thank you - again!)

Have a nice time!

Nico

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
