Hi,

I am about to begin the early stages of a new site management system which will supersede our current CMS. One of the major problems we have found is that the product is very hard to port to different sites because of the menu systems that each site uses is slightly different and our old system generates menus, submenus and pages dynamically based upon the content which requires me to re-write the navigation code base for each project.

How do most CMSs handle the menu/navigation of dynamically generated content?

Any suggestions or helpful pointers would be most appreciated.

If you want to see an example of a site running our system then take a look at www.abingdon.org.uk.
The main categories at the top are the only fixed navigation. All the other menus are generated based on the content in the db.

Is there a better way to do this?

MTIA

Dave
