Thanks for replying.
The reason that I have gone down the route of putting the dmNews & dmEvents into the tree is to create heirarchical news stories. i.e a news story is entered and then at a later date a follow up or releated articles are added.
By ensuring that the dmNavigation is created for all content types I can use the included tree navigation functions to provide the user with the ability to see the "related" news stories as either parent, siblings or children of the current news story they are viewing.
I did look at using the content admin tab, but found that I would have to create so much functionality that was doing the same job as the Farcry Tree.
Hope that this makes sense, Chris.

Hrmm what you need is a custom workflow object, eh, *wink wink*. Maybe you could sponsor Daemon to create such a feature for you and contribute it back into the code base?
You sure you can't just stick with creating news objects in the content admin tab and using publishing rules and templates to get your desired result?

For a site I am working on there will be many news contributors. I wish to ensure that they always create a dmNavigation object with all content added to the tree. To do this I am working on a small mod to automatically create the dmNavigation with other types. This will offer a simple one click option for content creators to add content whilst ensuring that they also create a dmNavigation object in the tree.
