Can single site have more than one site navigation???? In WPC

[PradeepBondla]

Hi,

I am new to WPC, my doubt is can a single site contain more than one site navigation ( navigation.wpc) ??

let me bit more clear....

I created a site, created navigation nodes, created web pages and then published site navigation, copied the path from navigation.wpc, used that path in a worksets "external connections".

Up to here every thing is clear and i did what I wanted.

NOW,

I want to create a new web page which will be part of above navigation path ( navigation.wpc).

I create a web page under same site and used that navigation, and when i used this path in new workset, its again showing me previous content added new web page in detailed navigation of portal.

I want this web page should be part of second level navigation which will not connect to previous one any where.

at last my question is.... can I have more than one navigation paths under single site?

Is it possible? if yes, How? give me steps...

Thanks in Advance...

Pradeep,

As and when you publish the navigation, the system generates the navigation.wpc.

So let us suppose if you are already having a navigation.wpc and publish the navigation again, a new navigation.wpc with the latest time stamp is created. I believe you cannot have more than one navigation.wpc for a site. Lets check with the experts here.

Hope this helps.

Hi there,

I had the same problem and I THINK I found a way to fix it, try creating a Site inside another Site, this way:

1. Create a New site in the "Sites" folder, let's call it "MyMainSite" (Web Content / Sites / MyMainSite).

2. Open that new site "MyMainSite", there you will find 4 folders, right? Entry Points, Site Content, Site Navigation and Web Pages.

3. Then click at "New" and choose "Site". Here you're creating a Sub-site inside your MainSite, got it? Name this site as "MySubSite"

4. You'll find a 5th folder called "MySubSite", open it.

5. So, you have again the same structure with the 4 folders (Entry Points, Site Content, Site Navigation and Web Pages) and when you create your nodes in the Site Navigation structure you will have a new "navigation.wpc" file, but with a different path.

Technicly it's not very nice, but it works, right?

I hope this helps

Hi Demis,

Thanks for your reply....

I did the same thing before posting this thread only.... and I too felt its not the perfect way to do ( technically). That is the reason I raised this thread, and waiting for the perfect way to do this.
