One glaring flaw in gs is the lack of multi menu systems and template functions.
fortunately mvlcek's wonderful i18n plugin has done a great job of fulfilling this need.
To add this functionality to core I need to gather input on functionality it is expected to have and development suggestions.
There are a few things we know and have been discussed here
https://github.com/GetSimpleCMS/GetSimpleCMS/issues/276
Ideas, concepts ?
Discuss.
navigation should be in 2 distinct parts.
The basics
backend organization
Back end can set multiple menus and hierarchies, allow mix in urls.
Front end theme functions
Front end should be able to pull navigation from a specific menu, or a query or filter. Get pages in heirarchy by menu id, or get pages by date range, or other flag, then format as a GS menu. These should be 2 seperate things, data can be fetched and used by template raw, or fetched with default menu html.
oh and menus will be cached and fast.
