FeaturesNexus and LibertyNexus works closely with libertyPackage and makes it is easy to create menus to any content found therein. of course it's possible to create links to anywhere else as well. in fact, nexus recognises what types of links have been inserted and will automatically tag the link appropriately , such as applying custom styles to external links.Flexible interfacenexus provides you with an easy to use interface to structurise your menus. they can be any number of levels deep, giving you unlimited freedom when it comes to menu creation.Menu designMenu look is determined exclusively through CSS. this means that changing the look of the menu only requires some knowlegde of CSS.ToDoInsert code into various packagescurrenlty only the wiki has the required code to insert items into a menu while editing the page.javascript / DOMmight be good to expand the different types of menus available with some javascript / DOM menus. currently we only use CSS.CSS dropdownsCSS dropdown menus are functional, but the js required for MSIE to work with these menus, isn't generated yet.Iconswould be nice to allow the usage of icons.Structureswould be good to allow the conversion of a structure to a nexus compatible menu (import is working appart from position assignment of items). might be good to read the structure straight from the db to ensure that the menu is updated automatically. | Nexus MenusNexus is a Package that works closely with the LibertyPackage and makes it is easy to create menus pointing to any content in bitweaver, or any external URL. Nexus works with other tools in bitweaver to help users navigate the site.Find nexus at: http://yoursitename.com/nexus/menus.php Nexus will create functional links to all internal and external content; all you have to do is enter the correct content id, structure id or path. External links are rendered with a special class (.external) which makes it easy to control their appearance with a particular CSS style. Help revise this package Nexus is still under development.

The menu that appeared before still exists in the database, but is gone from the screen, and there is no way to get it back. ttfn bitweaver version 2
