Hi

I'd like to display a site map type of view of an area of a site which has a complex folder structure which could perhaps be expandable in the way that the windows file system is etc. Say with expandable crosses which then display the contents of a folder and beneath.

Does anyone know if there is a product or way to do this already?

Thanks

Some javascript/style in this post has been disabled (why?)

I’d be interested in this too. 

 

My only thought so far is there must be a product or module somewhere in the Zope/Plone family, since the Zope Management Interface has such a sidebar.

There is no add-on Product I know of which offers the behavior you describe.  (Hard though that may be to believe.)  I've thought about this problem idly, a bit, but lack the skill and time to take it all the way to the hoop. ;-)

The approach to implementing it would, I suspect, be to write a wholesale replacement for the navigation portlet that implements a custom navigation strategy, which would return the entire structure of your site or section.  You'd then have to write the appropriate bits of HTML + javascript (or, more likely, borrow some prior art!) to hide/reveal sections of the tree.

Martin Aspeli's article on custom navigation sections at http://plone.org/documentation/how-to/custom-navigation will very likely be helpful should you choose to go this route.

best,
jon

This looks as it it may be of some use in building expandable nav trees.
It hasn't been touched in 2 years, but it does make use of zope3.

There are no releases, so grab the source code from

Very interesting. I guess this could be used as its own page? Or used as a folder view etc?

Wow.  Talk about "easter eggs" buried in the Collective!  :-)

Thanks for finding that, Emyr!

Michael, please do report back if it works for you!
