[opencms-dev] Navigation question

Fri Sep 6 09:48:50 CEST 2002

Hi Nico,

in case you have something you want to share I will gladly put this in
the opencms.org website in the "Community" section.

My advice is not to wait before making your example available. While it
certainly would be good to have a quality documentation, perhaps just
releasing what you have right now would be beneficial to many people
anyway. You can always come up with an updated version later.

Best Regards,
Alex

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
