Hi,

I heared from many people about pagesetter. The features sounds great but I'll tought I'll ask if I can use it for my purposes before I play around.

My target is to create a categorized structure to categorize my content:

Is it possible to create a structure of dynamic lists which are containsing dynamic sub, and dynamic sub-sub lists...?

Example:

1. List
1.1 List
1.2 List
1.2.1 List
1.2.2 Text
1.2.1.1 List
1.2.1.2 Text
2.1 List
2.2 List
2.3 List
2.3.1 List
2.3.2 List
2.3.2.1 Text
2.3.2.2 Text
....

If I got to 1. List it should list every sublist (1.1, 1.2, ...), if i go to 1.2 List it should list every sub-sublist/text (1.2.1 List, 1.2.2 Text...) and so on...

An additional (very nice feature) would be to provide a Navigation History:

For Example: If I am on 1.2.1 in the head it should display 1 List :: 1.2 List and provide links to this 2 lists...

Did anybody something like that? (an example would be nice)

Greets and regards,
Dawn

Can nobody give me an answer if this is possible?

I achieve the first result with a block I'm developing based on the category-navigation block provided by pagesetter distribution.
that block call a filter function and the filter function call a list template that show all children requested. I just change it to show directly the publication if the filtering link bring to a category where there's only one pub- instance and to react to the current page, so I can create more lists and add more blocks based on that lists, with only one block showing at a time, the block that contain the category related to the page is shown.
I put the ancestor of the tree on top menu in the header of my site by hand.
When the ancestor is called, it display the page list and the related menu block on the left.

Do you have a site with this system on the internet?

I'm just ending the work. I'll put on internet wednsday, and I'll give you the address by email.
If it' was working on this site there would be 2 list:
photoshare
.about
.demo
.download
pagesetter
.about
.online
.faq

and then the 2 link photoshare and pagesetter on the top.
if you link in one of them then the correct menu-block is shown.
if you use well the css2 rules you can put as many sublevel as you want without affecting the usability of the menu-block

I think the closest built-in support you get is the KnowledgeBase example - see the FAQ's on this page for a demo.

That is exactly what i need. But more level... I think that would be no problem. Can you tell me how do you did that?

Check the KnwoledgeBase example included in modules/pagesetter/examples.
