The navigation node or folder is simply a navigation concept. We've found over the years that a separate navigation hierarchy is *very* important. For example, in FarCry we use this for building friendly URLs, navigation aliases, sym-links, complex menu systems and so on.

Most standard web pages will have a single dmHTML object under a single navigation folder.

Placing multiple content objects under a single navigation folder is possible. Its designed to accommodate the need for more complex content that nevertheless shares a single position in the site information hierarchy. The classic example of this is the multi-page feature style online article.

This is sort of a vague question but I want to make sure that I understand
the 'concept' behind the way FC is handling content. Note the follow site
layout:
Home NODE (objectID= 111)
     Home Page (objectID= 112)
FAQ NODE (objectID= 113)
     FAQ Landing Page (objectID= 114)
     FAQ 1 (objectID= 115)
     FAQ 2 (objectID= 116)...
When a user goes to FAQ (objectID 113) the system displays FAQ Landing
Page (objectID= 114).  This, I assume, is due to the fact that it shows up
first under the FAQ Node under Site Management and FC is just defaulting
to the first object under a Object that is a node.  For me, this is a
little counter-intuitive (go to object 113 and show me object 114).  With
that in mind, I also assume that most developers are NOT creating a
structure like (with regard to navigation):
Home NODE (objectID= 111)
     Home Page (objectID= 112)
FAQ NODE (objectID= 113)
     FAQ Landing Page (objectID= 114)
          FAQ 1 NODE (objectID= 115)
               FAQ 1 (objectID= 116)
          FAQ 2 NODE (objectID= 117)
               FAQ 2 (objectID= 118)
          FAQ 3 NODE (objectID= 119)
               FAQ 3 (objectID= 120)

Is there somewhere that I can read some Farcry's 'Best Practice' type
articles or the like.


Thanks -Kevin
