[opencms-dev] Setting navigation properties dynamically in xmlcontent?

[Manfred Schenk]

Hi,
My goal is to build a dynamic navigation for some xmlcontent.
Is there a "best-practice" how to do that or should I follow the ideas 
mentioned in the (old) mail I added to this mail?

I'm currently using Version 7.5 but I'll switch to the newest version as 
soon as I have enought spare time to do this.

Regards,
Manfred
