Navigator

The navigator function allows you to set up third level navigation.  This is the navigation located in the left column.  It allows you yet another way to navigate quickly and easily through your Caravel pages.

1. From the Add Block Menu on the Edit Column/Header/Footer bar, choose Add Feature.

2. From the menu that appears choose Navigator.  A popup will appear giving you several options.   Under the Navigation tab you can choose the base page, where the list will be built from and the menu style.

Base page: this option allows you to choose which page your menu will begin from.  More than likely you will want to choose this page so the navigation will be relative to the page you are on.  Play with this option and figure out what is best for you.

Build list form: this drop down is asking where to draw data from.  Normally you will want to draw from siblings.  However, if you want to navigate your way back to the beginning of the site you may want to choose path or tree from top level.  Again, the best way to learn what you want to use is to play with the options.

Menu style: you may be looking for a certain look for your third level navigation menu; the menu style options allow you to find that look.  Following is a basic description of what each option will look like.
Vertical buttons: navigation is listed in a table.
Vertical list/tree: navigation is listed as links on separate lines.
List: navigation is listed as links on the same line.
Dropdown list: navigation is listed in a dropdown menu.
Tabs: navigation is put in tabs similar to the navigation tabs of Caravel.
Custom HTML: use your own template for navigation.
3.  Add a header.  The header tab allows you to either have no header or specify a custom header.
