Description

Hi,

actually, the navigation structure is layed out to the filesystem (WEB-INF/pages).
Have you ever thought about saving the navigation into the database.
I thought about the following:

• There is no difference between a page and folder, the are "categories"
• A page can contain portlets and also a new categorie

It's like a tree

Top-Navigation

----------

Cat1 Cat2

Cat3

and so on..

So there a Top-Level-Navigation (actually the "Tab"-Navigation). There are only "Cat1" and "Cat2" shown. The other categories are shown in a drop down menu.

On my opinion, this opens much features, which are lost if using the file-system.
How do you think about this ?

Best regards,

Sebastian
