Hi Joel, Well, you can still do the same thing with the custom rendering engine. Basically, navigation manager at this point is simply generating an XML/JSON (model), your custom rendering engine (controller) will take that XML/JSON and output a navigation in HTML (view). It is almost an MVC approach.
When generating the XML/JSON, you can still check if set to YES, include this XML Element attribute like, extrastuff="yes" or something like that. -Jian On Tuesday, August 20, 2013 3:34:58 PM UTC-4, Joel Kinzel wrote: > > Jian, > > While this would work for rendering lists, it wouldn't work for the sort > "settings" scenario we're using (where we check if something is set to Yes > and then add code to the template based on that). > > Joel > > On Monday, August 19, 2013 7:45:13 AM UTC-5, Jian Huang wrote: >> >> Hi Joel, >> >> Wow, yeah, don't think there is an out of box way to do this. >> >> The navigation webservice is available here: >> /CMS/Navigation/Services/NavigationService.asmx >> >> but the available service method don't have anything regarding navigation >> area creation and management. >> >> One crazy idea would be to implement one's own navigation rendering >> engine from site IA XML published from CMS, either via preexecution or >> execution on web server. >> >> -Jian >> >> >> >> On Sunday, August 18, 2013 5:12:17 PM UTC-4, Joel Kinzel wrote: >>> >>> Hi All, >>> >>> We have a shared content class set up in our environment that we use as >>> sort of "Parent/Children" scenario (so we can update content classes in the >>> children projects easily).
