#2 Menu navigation of wiki-pages

[jeroen roeterd]

It would be nice to have a navigation menu integrated.
Wiki's can be difficult to navigate and a menu could be
used to give an overall view of the site.

It would be nice if the contents of the menu could be
edited from inside the side (mayby html-forms?)

I think we could create a "SeeAlso" Macro for displaying the
related pagesL pages which mention this page.

If you have seen those API documentation like those in Qt
and Java, you probably know what I mean.

A few solution paths spring to mind:

a) a menu is defined by the subpage hierarchy already
included in OpenWiki.

b) a menu is defined by a pattern in the name of a
WikiPage. For instance, OpenWiki already makes use of the
Template$ menu.

c) a menu is defined as a document. For instance, as a list
of lists of pages in a MenuPage.

d) a menu is defined by associating pages with topics.
These topics (WikiPages?) can further be organized within a
tree. The hierarchy of topics give you a site map along one
facet.

e) better yet - see how this wiki
(http://www.kimbly.com/cgi-bin/diamond/FacetedNavigation)
does it.

Why don't you have a look for something that may work.

I like the css based menu's floating around as they need very
little (if any) javascript.

see http://www.simplebits.com/bits/minitabs.html

and many others, ie

Talking about CSS menu, don't forget to mention "Pure CSS
Menu". Really 100% CSS. No JavaScript needed:

But IE is not capable to view the submenus... So use Mozilla
or Opera... Not sure about Safari and Konqueror... =P

Hello,

The way pmwiki does menu's is also nice (http://www.
pmichaud.com/wiki/PmWiki/PmWiki) and it is pure HTML I
believe.

greetings,

I think this should be optional - not part of the core code. A
compromise is to designate a wikipagename (perhaps Menu?)
that if present, becomes the site menu. A bit like the
Bookmarks idea, but an ordinary WikiPage, and optional.

The macro <AddBookmarks> should satisfy this need

The <addbookmarks> is OK but it dus not accept wiki words
with a space. Names like [[Test page]] are not working.</addbookmarks>
