One thing I don't like about Tobi's navbar.pm is that the navigation bar is
hardcoded instead of computed from what's available. Obviously, this allows
for a very customised navbar (i.e. not making all pages show up, like
a map would). However, I think this could also be achieved through page
properties.
So imagine four pages A, B, A/C, and A/D, and these pages would include the
following directives, respectively
\[[navbar id=main priority=3]]
\[[navbar id=main priority=5]]
\[[navbar id=main title="Something else"]]
\[[navbar id=main]]
then the computed navigation bar would be
B
A
Something else
D
B would sort before A because it has a higher priority, but C would sort
before D because their priorities are equal. The overridden title is not used
for sorting.
Also, the code automatically deduces that C and D are second-level under A.
I don't think this is hard to code up and it's what I've been using with
rest2web and it's served me
well.
