Multi-level navigation and easy menu definition

[mvlcek]

The I18N plugin (http://get-simple.info/extend/plugin/i18n/69/) offers an easy-to-use multi-level navigation and a much improved admin interface for defining the hierarchical structure of a site (and the menu navigation).

Features

Nearly any kind of navigation should be realizable with this plugin, e.g.:

• Hierarchical menu in the side bar - only the current page and its parents are expanded
  
• Hierarchical menu in the side bar - all pages are expanded
  
• Top menu bar and remaining levels in the side bar
  
• Top menu bar with pull down menus, pulldown menus and further level also in side bar
  

Improved admin interface:

• Select the parent page from a "hierarchical" list
  
• Select the position in the menu in a list with all sibling pages (instead of having a cryptical priority select)
  
• Allow more than one level and prevent loops in hierarchy
  
• New in version 1.0: Rearrange your pages with drag and drop in the new Navigation Structure view
  
• New in version 1.0: Compatible with GetSimple 3.0
  
• New in version 1.1: Change menu texts (all languages) in navigation structure view
  
• New in version 1.2: Supports external links
  
• New in version 1.3: Option to only show menu items existing in the current language
  
• New in version 1.4: Additional css classes for menu items with children
  

Interesting topics:

• Multiple pages combined, Menu item links to anchor within page
