[ANNOUNCE] navigation.module: msg#01021php.drupal.devel
Hello, Some months ago I began working on the "navigation.module", to replace my "taxnav.module". A few key implementation details were never resolved, so I dropped the project for a lengthy period of time. As 4.4 approaches, I realized I need it working, so I've gone ahead and finished it enough to be useful. The module is designed for Drupal 4.4 (current CVS version): http://cvs.drupal.org/viewcvs/contributions/modules/navigation/ Please give it a try and let me know what you think. Features: -------- - Administrative interface shares look and feel of taxonomy administrative interface - Menus can be three dimensional or flat - Menus can be displayed in boxes like the automatically generated navigation menu, or as CSS tabs - Menu items can link to on-site and off-site content - No hard limit to the number of menus that can be built - No hard limit on the number of menu items comprising a menu - No hard limit to the depth of a given menu - Automatically generates box for each menu The remaining features are too-be-implemented shortly. If you are interested in this module and see a better way, please provide feedback now before I take the next step and do what's described below. Also, please let me know if there are important features missing: Todo: - add help to module - provide access control for menu items (ie, administrators will probably see more menu choices than anonymous visitors. Implementation plan: allow optional association of each menu item with one or more roles. Will probably provide option to enable/disable this functionality) - provide mechanism for linking menu items to taxonomy terms (ie, when viewing a specific node, appropriate menu items should be selected. Implementation plan: allow optional association of each menu item with one or more terms. Will probably provide option to enable/disable this functionality) Other wishlist items: - allow admin to upload background image for CSS tabs, using graphics instead of text. (Implementation plan: provide optional 'file' field for each menu item, allowing administrator to upload an image.) - option to auto-create menu from specified taxonomy vocabulary Thanks, -Jeremy |
