Thread:Thoughts about navigation templates (1)

Hi Brent ---

A few thoughts on the navigation template


 * Looking for a generic navigation template that we can use to replace all the current navigation templates, for example:
 * Like these in the help tutorials
 * Or these used on the Cost & finance materials
 * A hack on the front page navigation like this one used for PCF5 would be nice
 * Do we include the feature to have main links and sub-links like the navigation on the main page?
 * Would be nice if we could incorporate an image element.
 * The idea is to use named parameters in the form


 * I'm not sure of the best way to deal with the "Heading" of the navigation when required.
 * We must think about the layout when optional parameters are not used.

Advantages


 * Promoting consistent look and feel accross the wiki.
 * Making it easier for users to set up navigation templates that look smart and professional
 * The ability to have one print specific template, eg that will suppress the printing of navigation on all pages using the Navigation template.

Hope this helps.
