Recommendation for Navigation Plugin

I wanted to throw this out to the group as I’m learning as I go. What would be your recommendation for a solid navigation plugin? I’ve been playing around with ad_cat_menu and wow_menu. I’m using txp 4.0.8 but finding that wow_menu is causing issues with a couple of my forms for some reason. I was real interested to give it a go but not quite sure about the bug(s) issue. I think I have seen ad_cat_menu come up quite often in forum discussions…….Thank you.

Re: Recommendation for Navigation Plugin

What are your menu requirements? Have you looked at <txp:section_list/> and <txp:category_list/>?

Hi Jon-Michael,

Thank you for your reply. I’m really just looking for a way to show parent category, child category under and then a small list of articles under that.

Hi Yiannis,

It is my fault that I wasn’t more specific to begin with. I’m using it in the sidebar form. I noticed your suggestion brought in the article as well which obviously would work great on the default page but not so much in the sidebar. This is the of layout I’m interested in:

Parent Cat Child Cat List of Articles

Re: Recommendation for Navigation Plugin

Something like this?

<txp:category_list children="0" break="">
	<h3><txp:category title="1" link="1" /></h3>
	<txp:category_list wraptag="ul" break="li" parent='<txp:category />' exclude='<txp:category />'>
		<ul>
			<txp:category title="1" link="1" />
			<txp:article_custom category='<txp:category />'>
				<li><txp:permlink><txp:title /></txp:permlink></li>
			</txp:article_custom>
		</ul>	
	</txp:category_list>
</txp:category_list>

Thank you Els and everyone else that chimed on this topic. I couldn’t do it without you.
PS: Els, for my continuing education, was the answer you submitted to be found in a particular resource location, multiple resource locations or just learned by scratch over a period of time?
