Evan,
Here is one cut down design I did for a Spectra site. This company needed a
different nav system branding for each organization that franchised it's
site.
Bottom line you need to build Object Types similar to the ones below, and
then use Publishing Rules or Handlers to display the appropriate navitems
per page, per user and maybe per organization.
HTH,
Mike
Object Type: NavItem
This object will be used for navigational items for the VisaBuxx main
template. The Nav header, Nav Left Margin, Nav Footer will all use these
content items
Properties: Linkhtml char simple required
HTML code required to produce link. May include images, javascript
function calls, text, anchor tags.
Usertype char simple
Indicates which user types can view this navitem (A = Accnt, b = Brokers, C=
Customers,,,...)
Object Type: NavItemGroup
This object will track groupings of navitems for a particular org, page and
container.
Properties: ORG char simple
required searchable
Organization ID for which this
navitemgroup should appear.
PageId char simple
required searchable
Page ID for which this navitemgroup
should appear.
ContainerName char simple
required
Name of the container on the page in
which to place this navitemgroup.
Navitems char
required
Comma delimited list of UUIDs of the navitems to be placed on the page.
Order in which the navitem UUIDs appear in the list determines order in
which they will appear on the page.

Subject: RE: Change Order of Sections and Pages in Site Layout Model
I have received recommendations to use both Metadata Hierarchy and
Containers to get around this problem. (Along with extending the SLM). Can
anyone expand on these topics with a basic overview of how they would be
accomplished?
Thank you,
Evan

Evan,
My first thought here is that a dynamic navigation system should be built
using containers and content items. In 1.01 the SLM lives to store logging
and caching properties for Sites, Sections, Pages and Containers. In 1.5
Activities were added into the mix which would allow you to use the SLM as a
navigation repository or even extend the Webtop's Nav system.
I would recommend you switch over to Containers and Content items, I think
this would be the easier path to build dynamic menus in Spectra. Make sure
to use cfa_generatedcontentcache around the nav containers for better
performance.
HTH,
Mike

Subject: Change Order of Sections and Pages in Site Layout Model
I am using the Site Layout Model to create the navigation on a web site,
however it has come up that we need to change the order of the pages and
sections in some places. We are using Spectra 1.01, and I am not finding a
mechanism to specify the ordering anywhere. I have seen some references to
an SLM order attribute in the mailing list archives, but I must assume this
is something new in 1.5. Am I missing something? Are there any suggestions
on a way to do this? Alphabetical sorting is not an option.
Any tips, comments or suggestions are welcomed! Thanks.
