I have never used it, but i think that that is already possible. Look in a forrest.properties from a seed site: #project.menu-scheme=tab_attributes #project.menu-scheme=directories The former is the default. http://forrest.apache.org/docs_0_80/linking.html#other-menu-selection Directory-based selection However site.xml has two functions: menus and linking. -David
