Embedded Navigation Groups

Not long ago I wrote an article on how to embed navigation groups within pages and posts on your blog. This is probably one of the least used applications of NAVT. However, I think its a great feature if you have a sales organization or you operate a blog with multiple authors.

An embedded navigation list can be used to create specialized pages that show the people in your organization using navigation list that contains user anchors. Using a few CSS rules, a little layout imagination and a navigation group containing your blog Authors/Sales people you can create a unique organizational chart that is far more interesting than the ordinary about page.

Here is an example of an embedded navigation group on this page.

Navigation groups created by NAVT can be embedded within posts or pages to add a unique dimension to your navigation. To embed a navigation group within a post or page enter the following in the content area:

[navt id=”your navigation group name”]

The NAVT plugin will substitute the bracketed entry with the navigation list specified by your groupname.

Any number of groups can be embedded within a single page or post. Embedding lists is useful for providing special navigation links for specific pages. For example, a page containing links to blog Authors or people in your organization using avatars and author information.

Embedded links can be styled like any other list and can even appear to the left or right of the page content much like a sidebar. For example:


Navigation Header Title
[ navt id="your navigation group name"]
