DynTrailMenu

Questions answered by this recipe

I'd like to have a dynamic (expanding) menu based on an (existing) WikiTrail. How can I achieve this?

Description

DynTrailMenuΔ creates an expanding menu using a WikiTrail page. While TrailMenu does not allow to use external URLs, text items or spacers, DynTrailMenu does.

See this in action

For information in German language, please see: http://www.webbird.de/?n=PmWiki/DynTrailMenu

The main goal when creating this recipe was to have a single Trail page as base for a Sitemap and the Menu at the same time.

Installation

To use DynTrailMenu.phpΔ, simply download it, copy it into the cookbook/ directory, and add

    include_once("$FarmD/cookbook/dyntrailmenu.php"); 

to a local customization file.

To use this recipe, add the following markup to your menu page (f.e. Site.SideBar):

    (:pagelist trail=Cookbook.TrailMenu fmt=dyntrailmenu:)

...where "Cookbook.TrailMenu" is the name of your WikiTrail page, of course. (See PmWiki.WikiTrails for details on how to use WikiTrails)
