    Hi,

    For a group of research universities I’m building a website with a public and private part.

    The public part is done.

    Now I’m thinking on how to build the private part. The proposal for the navigation from the client is not that strange, but I think it is very difficult to build in a flexible manner.

    The navigation:

    Group A (just a page)
      - Community A (list of people)
        - Blog (list of entries)
        - Meetings (list of entries)
      - Community B (list of people)
        - Blog (list of entries)
        - Meetings (list of entries)
      - Community C (list of people)
        - Blog (list of entries)
        - Meetings (list of entries)
    Group B (just a page)
      - Community D (list of people)
        - Blog (list of entries)
        - Meetings (list of entries)
      - Community E (list of people)
        - Blog (list of entries)
        - Meetings (list of entries)
      - Community F (list of people)
        - Blog (list of entries)
        - Meetings (list of entries)

    The most flexible way to do this is by making the groups categories and the communities subcategories and to share those for the contacts, the blog and the meetings. In that way there would be only one weblog/channel for the blog and one weblog/channel for the meetings.

    But I don’t know how to build that navigation in that way that if the client should add a category that it would pop up in the navigation. I could only build it by hardcoding the navigation. In this way there would be multiple weblogs/channels for the blog and meetings…

    Can someone help me a hand?

    Kind regards,

    Bart
