multilevel global navigation

Question

Hi guys!

I would like to ask if somebody knows how to create a global navigation with the follow structure:

Administration

         Catalogs (submenu)

         Users (submenu)

         Groups (submenu)

                 Create (option)

                 Update (option)

I have been looking how I can achieve this, one thing that I have foud is to create a sitemap file, create my structure, modify the master page (asp menu element) and add a tag in the web.config file. In fact this works, but the thing is that I can not add audiences (sharepoint groups) with this case in the elements, because the nodeas added in the sitemap file does not are shown in the navigation page.

I would like to ask for any comment or suggestion, thanks for any help.

Regards

Answer 1

If the hierarchy you drew out is a site hierarchy you can use OOTB publishing top navigation as long as you customize the master page to enable more than one menu dynamic level.

I also believe you can do that hierarchy with files/folders inside the pages library of a publishing site using the same masterpage customization.

I also have a solution on codeplex,

where you define a structure using files/folders inside a list and the top navigation will render the structure.
