[opencms-dev] Navigation Issues

[Jonathan Woods]

Sorry; I didn't pick up on the fact you're starting from an example
template.  All I meant was that you may have to  write your own code in
left_nav.jsp rather than relying on template methods.  That may mean digging
around in the API and writing Java (as opposed to taglib stuff).

There are lots of useful methods in CmsJspNavBuilder which might start you
off:

<%
	// Start from the usual place for writing OpenCms JSP scriptlets:
	CmsJspActionElement cmsJspActionElement = new CmsJspActionElement();
	cmsJspActionElement.init(pageContext, request, response);

	// Get a CmsJspNavBuilder and do with it what you will:
	navigationBuilder = new CmsJspNavBuilder(cmsObject);

	/*	And see the API for CmsJspNavBuilder for ideas:
	
http://www.opencms.org/export/javadoc/core/org/opencms/jsp/CmsJspNavBuilder.
html
	*/
%>

I'm not sure I fully understand. I have a template page that uses the
header, footer and left nav pieces from the elements folder. I grapped some
code from the search example in the Alkon folder and made it work in my
left_nav.jsp element. Right now it just shows the main directory links
everywhere, regardless of tier.
