I thought I would post this here before embarking on a coding session that someone else may have already developed a solution for. Here is the problem:
A client is intent on mixing static and dynamic content, which is no problem until the navigation is considered as it it influenced by the type of content. As an example consider the following navigation
Parent 1
—Child 1.1
—Child 1.2
——Child 1.1.1
——Child 1.1.2
—Child 1.3
Parent 2
—Child 2.1
——Child 2.1.1
Parent 3
etc…
Were all of these linked to entries using the same fields this would not be a problem. However, we have two types of entries: listings and pages. Where a listing has a different set of fields than that of a page and a page is typically more static or treated as a landing or entry page. So they have two different display templates. And Parent 1 (or any other nav item) may link to either type of content.
I am currently using the catexpand plugin to build the nav and this work well. I just need a way determine if a nav item should load a page or a listing and then build the link based on the result. Does this make sense? Any suggestions or is more information required?
