    Multiple navigation

    Is it possible to have multiple navigation in a website (Main menu, footer menu)

    so your content tree looks like this

    • Home
      • Main menu
        • item 1
        • item 2
        • item 3
        • item 4
        • item 5
      • Footer menu
        • item 6
        • item 7
        • item 8

    so, main menu and footer menu is only used for grouping your navigation items. it isn't used in the url

    I would just structure the site the way it needs to be structured (structuring through menu position doesn't seem very logical to me). Then I'd add two properties to the top level menu items, both True/False: "Show in main menu?" and "Show in footer menu?".

    You can pass a parameter to your navigation macro, that indicates whether you want to render the main menu or the footer menu (or create two seperate macro's) and filter using the above checkbox values.

    Sebastian, I am sitting with a similar situation and struggling a bit with the practical side.

    I am redeveloping a site with 5 menus. These are different categories, and links need to be sorted accordingly, depending on categpry. I have little experience passing parameters to macros. Could you perhaps explain how to do this? I have a DataType that is functioning and may be useful as well. The user choses one of five values for each page, and this value determines which CSS class is called to the page. Could this be used to test which menu the page link belongs to?
