I would recommend you post an image of your content structure and also explain exactly what you mean my Utility navigation and where it is in your structure, this will enable people to help you better.

Hiya,

I'm just packaging up and about to upload the 4.5 version of Cogowrks Flexible Nav.

So panic not!

Hi Rich,
Your right. I should have just said "any navigation thats not the main nav" rather than utility navigation. I have posted an image of what I mean! It shows my page tree versus a screenshot of my site.

This navigation on the top right is just one example! There are other places on my website where I want to add navigations to the left and right column of my pages/nodes and these navigations would need to pull their links from sibling nodes... not just parents. For example ill need a small navigation containing a set of account management links to appear on certain page??

Id give me right arm an example of how to ull this off with Navigation Prototype!

Hiya

Here is the 4.5 version of Cogworks Flexible Navigation:

http://our.umbraco.org/FileDownload?id=1455

Not had time to update the project page but will do in sue course.

let me know if you have any problems.

Hey Robert,

You can use something like this

<xsl:param name="Source" select="$currentPage/mySource" />

<xsl:for-each select="umbraco.library:GetXmlNodeById($Source)/DocType">
<!--Navigation code here-->
</xsl:for-each>

Add this code to an XSLT file, and add a macro parameter of mySource

Then when you use your macro in a template set mySource parameter to be the node ID of the menu you want.

You need to change the word "DocType" to the name of your "News & Newsletter" doc type.

That's assuming it's just a one level nav of course.

If you need a recursive nav, here's some code for 4.5 http://our.umbraco.org/wiki/reference/xslt/recursive-menu-umbraco-45

Otherwise just wait for Tims package as it seems it's coming soon.
