IBM/Lotus Navigational hierarchy

HCL Domino Domino Forum
1

I’m trying to build a navigational hierarchy for a Domino website that uses 10-15 dbs.

Anyone know how the navigational hierarchy on the ibm/lotus website is built and maintained to produce a “Yahoo” like categorized hierarchy as follows:

developerWorks > Lotus > Communities > Forums > Notes/Domino 6 Forum Home

thanks

Also, I like the navigation on this site:

I realize that this is not exactly what you are asking for, but it should be easy to adapt it to view multiple Notes dbs.

Here’s a wild suggestion for you to create another kind of navigational hierarchy :slight_smile:

Build a Grokker plugin to search Notes dbs…

Thanks for the link. But I think I need something simpler. Doesn’t need to be that dynamic, just needs to map out all the categories of pages like IBM does across dbs.

cheers

try a Google search on Javascript and breadcrumbs, that should get what your looking for.

thanks for the tip.

throughout the domino dbs we use domain search, document lookups by view/key and also have all the dbs in the same directory at the same level so our links are pretty flat (db/view/doc or db/view unid/doc).

any suggestions on how to apply javascript breadcrumbs without have a hierarchy defined

Subject: Check out OpenNTF.org, they do this.

You may be able to download the template OpenNTF uses and see how they do it. I haven’t really checked out theof the ND6 templates, but some of those may have a similar feature.
