INavigationElement Interface

Represents the types of XPower elements that produce a collection of Navigation elements during runtime or publishing expansion. A Navigation element queries each page it covers and produces a Page element with a set of attributes that summarizes the page's content.

The highly organized and highly flexible Navigation elements are a central part of the Ingeniux CMS.

The amount of information to summarize from page content is decided by the combination of global exports and local exports. Local exports override global exports with same name. Therefore, all Navigation element types can have local exports.

Remarks

It is highly recommended to use gloabal exports whenever possible, because using local exports is much slower. An exception is when override is desired on global export entries, or you are trying to query expanded Link elements.

Example

Each Navigation element's page output will look something like the following example:
