PageListPlus gives you options to dynamically build navigation menus based on your current page. Build a menu based on the current page, the current page’s parent, or the current page’s root (top-level) parent.

It also allows you to append and prepend HTML and create a header or link to the page the menu is built from.  And it does everything the native MojoMotor page_list tag does (e.g. the “id”, “class”, and “page” parameters).

For example:

{mojo:pagelistplus:page_list start="parent" id="parentnav" header="h2" header_link="yes" prepend="<div class='navlinks'>" append="</div>"}

ouputs something like:

<div class="navlinks">
    <h2><a href="http://example.com/page/parent_page">Parent Page Title</a></h2>
<p>    <ul id="parentnav"><br />
        <li>...<br />
    </ul><br />
</div>

All this for free! But, if you’re a developer and don’t mind taking a look at the code, I would appreciate any constructive criticism, especially in the realm of performance and best practices.

Aaron,

Thanks for the heads up. I will check it out. It looks promising.

Aaron - I’m giving this a go for my main navigation, but running into a small issue. It will not add my id or class parameters to the <ul>

{mojo:pagelistplus:page_list} - displays fine, with clean <ul>
{mojo:pagelistplus:page_list class="nav" id="animate"} - outputs <ul> without a class or id

I’m demoing this on a homepage, with a header embed using the ShowMe plugin. I get the same result when I place this directly on the homepage layout too.

Thanks for catching that bug - it was a stupid mistake on my part.  I’ve fixed it and updated the download link.  Let me know if you have further problems.

Thanks!

Aaron
