Hi David,

I've always found building the navigation system in Radiant quite a hassle, so I have recently added an <r:menu /> to my fork of radiant (http://github.com/RSpace/radiant/tree/master ) and submitted a pull request to Sean. I have no idea if it will make it into Radiant 0.6.8 or even into core at all, but if is does, it should deprecate most of the r:if_self r:if_ancestor business. It is very similar to <r:navigation />, but it generates the menu using the existing page hierarchy in the database, rather than requiring the developer to hard code it in the tag attributes.

By the way, Mohit, did you create a page in the wiki with your outline? I can't seem to find it.

Cheers,
Casper

Sorry for the delay in pushing this out.  This is roughly the first
draft of the plan that I had.  This is not split up into the sections
that I had mentioned.  I think some of these can be mixed and matched
into the different sections. In general, this targets a person who is
starting with Radiant but is actually a developer.  I'm sure there's
plenty more that can/ should go in, but I'm just passing this as a
starting point.

This looks great. The only thing I noticed was missing is a topic on
navigation systems. I say we start with your outline in the wiki and
move ahead from there. We can always adjust the outline as we progress
if we need to.

In the wiki outline, should we mark what topics we would like to work on so we don't duplicate effort? I think having multiple people work on the
same topic is fine, but they should probably coordinate their effort.

Silly question -- when working with the wiki, how do you create new
pages? Do you just make a link to them and it recognizes a new page has
been made... or something?

I have Friday off from work, and will begin working on wiki content. I
think I'll start with these topics:
* navigation systems (simple using r:navigation; complex using r:if_self
and r:if_ancestor_or_self and part="no-map")
* using some of the common extensions

- Dave
