## BASIC ##     –>     http://qr.net/dfplb

    This basic velocity code is minimal to get all navigation, regardless of how many levels.

    It does not include any classing of html tags.

## ADVANCED ##     –>     http://qr.net/dfpla

    This advanced code outputs nicely formatted navigation with classing on <LI> tags:
        is_level_[level#] (also on <UL> tag), is_parent, of_[#of children], is_first_item, is_last_item

    …and put in some unique ID’s, just in case: for <LI> tag: item_[id#], for <A> tag: link_[id#]

    The formatting of the code had to become flat in order for the output formatting to be leveled.

## PHP ##     –>     http://qr.net/dfplp

    Use this advanced velocity/php code to put all navigation into a flat php array to use later.

    You can then include the navigation at the top of all your pages, and then just use PHP
        to populate the menu(s) any way you like.

    I have it automatically track the following: id, title, url, level, parent_id

    At the far bottom of the code, I include extra PHP code (not Velocity) to accept additional parameters
        on the end of the URL supplied in pagelime. NOT the URL query string parameters, that’s different.

    To use the parameter feature, simply separate parameters with spaces at the end of the url,
        and each key/value pair should be split as key=value.
    Without a key=, it will assume it is part of the previous key.

    Example:
        URL on PageLime is:
            http://url.com#anchor?query=value&other=params index.php my_param=”string $var” show=false url=more.html
        Results in this array item in PHP:
            Array
            (
                [1] => Array
                    (
                        [this_id] => 1
                        [title] => MEDICARE MENU
                        [url] => http://url.com#anchor?query=value&other=params
                        [level] => 1
                        [parent_id] => 0
                        [urls] => Array
                            (
                                [0] => http://url.com#anchor?query=value&other=params
                                [1] => index.php
                                [2] => more.html
                            )
                        [my_param] => “string $var”
                        [show] => false
                    )

    You can also use the ROOT navigation (level=1) to split content into multiple menus (main, sub, side, etc.)

    I am sure there are a few who will love this ability. But, it requires PHP!

## BONUS UBER-MEGA COMPRESSED BASIC VERSION ##     –>     2-line version

#macro(g $m)<ul>#foreach($n in $m)<li><a href=$n.URL>$n.Title</a>
#if($n.ChildNodes.Count>0)#set($c=$n.ChildNodes)#g($c)#end</li>#end</ul>#end#g($navItems)

Should copy-paste fine, now that I got rid of the double-quotes (won’t pass validation, you can put them back in).
All the rest of the code above had to be in text files because they would not copy-paste!

I’d be willing to explore adding this. Give me a shout to support[at]pagelime.com and we can coordinate this.

#set( $nav = 0 )
#foreach( $navItem in $navItems )
#set( $nav = $nav + 1 )

Which would give you , , , etc….
