[xwiki-users] Navigation panel

[Esbach, Brandon]

I'd agree with Vincent there on having fixed navigation panels..  
Generally, especially when using panels; try to have your visible panels
as lightweight as possible; the entire panel gets reloaded for every
page you view - thus performance will become a growing problem.

Good point.

Actually I would do it slightly differently. I would add all pages
unless the page has a special "hidden" tag, so that any page created by
the user is visible by default. Then all "technical" pages should be
tagged with that "hidden" tag.

But I still believe the best solution is to have a fixed navigation as
the default Navigation panel doesn't scale when # of pages increase.

Thanks

	Please see attached code.  All spaces defined in
"hiddenPagesSpaces" will get this special treatment. Show a page by
leaving the parent field blank. A page will also be shown if it contains
the tag "showPage".

		Hi,
		
		actually I realised that, but I am trying to do
something a little
		different. For example, under the Blog heading, I would
avoid listing all
		the blogs and only keep WEB HOME, CATEGORIES and ADD NEW
BLOG. otherwise the 
		menu becomes too crowded
