The Navbar Plugin renders a Navigation Bar into your page. It is based on code from the sidebar plugin.

The plugin looks for a page called "navbar"

This page must contain a itemized list of the form

    * [[Welcome|index]]
    * [[Management|mgmt]]
      * [[Leadership|mgmt/lead]]
      * [[Kidnapping|mgmt/kidnapping]]
    * [[Information_Technology|it]]
      * [[Windows|it/windows]]
      * [[Mobile_Communication|it/mobile]]

This list will be turned into a folding menu structure

Include this into your templates.

    <TMPL_IF NAVBAR>
    <div id="navbar">
    <TMPL_VAR NAVBAR>
    </div>
    </TMPL_IF>

To make a nice menu, some css magic is required, but since this is required to make ikiwiki look good anyway, I won't go into details here ...

In the meanwhile, I (MartinQuinson) have hacked this a bit to make it fit my needs. The result is here

In the meanwhile I too have hacked this for my needs and fixed a few bugs in Martin's version. The result (and source / instructions) can be found here. (It is not mobile ready yet, but might be soon...)
