Navigation structure that would be "essentially endless" while maintaining the ancestor/descendant structure based on the currently selected node.
I work in Higher Ed, we're trying to figure out a navigational structure for sub-sites of our Academic Departments. At this time, we have an Architecture and navigation that is usable up to 2 levels beyond the department landing page.
Are you using Mvc? If you are, you may find this package does what your after. This package just installs a single partial view which you see directly here.
Finally got a chance to test it in my local environment. It does what I need it to, but I will have to figure a way to get it to work in 4.11.x without views (boo!).
I think it would be quite easy to convert to a partial view macro which are available in 4.11 and use with WebForms, I'll check it works and come back to you.
Multi-Tiered Navigation
Here's the easiest summary I could come up with:

While posting, I found this and will give it a go. But any advice would be appreciated. http://our.umbraco.org/forum/developers/razor/43247-Using-Razor-to-create-a-push-down-sub-navigation
Again, we would want the navigation for a specific area to always be present at the highest level, and then be able to breakdown with children.

Note: Please don't ask me why; I'm not sure why it's necessary to have a site that goes 11+ levels either...Hi Greg,

Thanks Jeavon, we're not yet using Mvc still on webforms in 4.11.x
I'll see if I can piece something together using your code as a reference point.
Np, it could be converted to a Partial View Macro (Mvc based Macros for WebForms templates), that would work in v4.11.x or into a classic Razor Macro.
Does it look like it does what you need?

Awesome package! Thank you,
