Hi.

I have been trying to create a good navigation system for long articles
with several chapters.

My goal is to achieve something like this:

<< Prev | Table of contents | Next >>

Where table of content is a drop down menu.

By using this code snippet I have created the Prev/next navigation:

lib.prevnextnav = HMENU
lib.prevnextnav {
special = browse
special {
items = prev|next
prev.fields.title = << Previous page
next.fields.title = Next page >>
}
1 = TMENU
1.NO {
linkWrap = | | | *||
}
}

To make room for the drop down menu in between prev and next I am
planing to map a separate menu for Prev and Next. That would make it
possible to map a drop down menu in the middle.

I have not been working that much with building menus and I am unsure
where to start. I have been searching for code snippets but most of the
findings is complex menus for site navigation.

I am looking for something simple that includes the same pages as the
HMENU above. That being only pages that are on the same level.

Can anyone suggest a good place to be inspired?

I have not worked that much with menus so something to start out with
would be a big help.

Or maybe someone have a code snippet that does the job.

Thanks
Morten

Hi Morten,

have a look in TER for cag_pagebrowser. This will provide you the
prev/next function. And in TS Setup you can overwrite

plugin.tx_cagpagebrowser.30 (normaly the index part) with a normal HMENU
with appropriate entryLevel that you can style / program as a dropdown
menu.

Regards,
Jochen
