I've added it to the plugins. If it turns out, once it works, that it would be better in a sample seed then we'll move it then. My main problem right now is getting the articles to have some menu context when clicked. Since they don't exist as a part of the site.xml, I don't know how to do that. For example, with an Article A that belongs to categories Y and Z. Say the user clicks on category Y and then Article A, I want category Y to stay selected when the article shows up. Then, of course, if they get to Article A through category Z, I'd want that selected. Hopefully I've not confused my own question here. Anyone got any ideas? --tim
