For example on the Overview tab. Did you hand code the right hand navigation in place or is there some EE trickery going on?

I only ask because my client wants to have control of what pages to link to in the side navigation and I don’t see this as an easy thing unless they can code a template.

I think it’s probably a dynamic list from the categories.  Perhaps a category info tag…. though I have no idea for sure.

I’ve done it with a weblog…each nav item is an entry. The fields are just the title (nav name), a link field, and an order drop-down so they can specify the list order. In these cases I use a weblog (with or without categories) as they are used to working with the Publish and Entry forms. Even if the client doesn’t need it, I do it that way for myself as I can keep future sections turned off and hidden until I open the nav entry.

Our method does indeed require template access, unless you are using information in the URL (segments, categories, page uris, etc.) that would allow you to use this method dynamically.

Thanks for the replies.

What I am trying to achieve (and I’m sure I’ve done this before) is to have a single weblog with 4 categories (top nav) and then list the entries titles as the right sub nav.

I always seem like I’m reinventing the wheel when it comes to tasks like this.

PS. Some of those entries will contain another weblog so I guess a reverse relationship custom field should do the trick here? Then just use a conditional field to show something if there is content in that field?
