Navigation Type

Work In Progress!

Only rendertype tree is available at this time. This formtool is due for 4.01, with dropdown available by 4.02

Navigation type allows you to select a navigation folder from somewhere in the sites navigation hierarchy. A list of Navigation Folder (dmNavigation) objectid is stored as a reference in the database.

Remember that string data type defaults to 255 chars which would allow you to hold about five navigation items. If you anticipate more folder references you will need to use longchar data type.
