Micronavigation

A micronavigation is a path as HTML text in which every element except for the last is linked with the corresponding web page. Using an NPSOBJ tag you can have micronavigations automatically created, whereby you can determine the number of created elements.

<npsobj micronavigation="field-name" levels="3">delimiter</npsobj>

When the CMS processes the micronavigation instruction it forms the path from the base folder to the folder containing the current file, creating an a-href reference for every element. The link to the corresponding folder-index page is created as href, and the value of the field field-name is used in the context of the respective target folder as the link’s reference text.

The individual elements separated by the entered string delimiter are output one after the other. You can use any separation string you wish, which means that even HTML code such as line breaks, links to images, etc. are allowed.

Using the tag attribute levels you can set the number of elements to be included in the micronavigation. If levels is a positive number, the base folder will be the micronavigation’s first element. A negative value indicates that only the last elements in the path are to be used. This means that in a micronavigation constructed with levels="1" only the base folder will be included whereas with levels="-1" the micronavigation will only contain the folder containing the current file. levels="0" has the same effect as not specifying levels at all which means that the complete path is to be included in the micronavigation.

The following example creates a micronavigation from the titles of the parent folders and limits it to three elements. The entries are separated from one another with a slash:

<npsobj micronavigation="title" levels="3"> / </npsobj>

This NPSOBJ tag creates the following micronavigation on the web pages exported from the folder sub-hierarchy /de/company/press/archive:

All entries in the generated micronavigation are linked to the corresponding folder pages.

If you wish the last parent folder in the path to be displayed in the micronavigation, then the NPSOBJ attribute levels must be assigned a negative value:

<npsobj micronavigation="title" levels="-2"> / </npsobj>

On the web pages exported from the folder sub-hierarchy /de/company/press/archive, this NPSOBJ tag creates the following micronavigation (a micronavigation can be inserted anywhere you like within the body element of a layout):
