Greetings, I am totally new here, this is my first post.
(my bad if this isn't the correct section, but i aught its good)
is there a way to display the pages / navigation?

Using flash, getting node information/images in flash is a breeze.
I am using a amfphp gateway. so i can directly link to my specific nodes.
Displaying lists is also great with the view module

But here is the problem : I can't seem to enlist the overview of my Pages (navigation links), aka the actual page where my information needs to reside.

Could someone hint me please, i've been searching this forum for a while now. Good info, but nothing seem to give me some core answer.

Thanks in advance! love drupal so far. Running like a train.

Hi Peter,

Welcome to Drupal!

I am not totally sure what your problem is.

If it is a sitemap that you are missing, consider installing the XML Sitemap module (http://drupal.org/project/xmlsitemap) which will submit your sitemap to some popular search engines.

However, if it is the navigation for users you are missing, then you probably want to build a menu for the pages you created (this is not done automatically). By default, Drupal adds menu items to the Navigation menu, which is the same menu where all the admin stuff sits. This is not what I normally want. (I like some separation between the front-end and the back-end).

So what I normally do is, create a new menu: Administer -> Site Building -> Menu, click the Add menu tab, create a new menu, say "Site navigation".
Make this menu the default menu for content: Administer -> SIte Building -> Menu, click Settings tab, change the drop down menu for "Default menu for content" to your new menu.
Now edit a page you created or create a new page. In the menu settings, enter a title for the menu. If necessary change the drop down menu "Parent Item" to change the position in the menu hierarchy. The position in a single level of a menu is controlled by the weight field. (Ordering a lot of menu items is more easily done under Administer -> Site building -> Menu, and click the menu you want to change.)

Thank you Mark

Currently checking out xmlsitemap module. So my question soon will disappear eventually :)
Using a sitemmap to feed my flash would be benificial i guess (for now).

In short my previous question was :
- Is there a way to display the navigation as a sort of amfphp query.

Like I now trigger my individual pages via

var baseurl:String = "http://www.mydomain.com";
var gateway:String = baseurl+"?q=/services/amfphp";

if i need a node i just do ?q=node/1"

I wonder if theres also something like ?q=menu
so i can list all the items from the menu + the path its leading to.
fe in my case, i've made 2 pages, with some text copy. as test for a main navigation. Reading in the content of that page which are the nodes is't easy.

Hoping this is a better way of trying to explain it (it was rather late last night/morning)

Best regards

Hi Peter,

I have no experience with amfphp. I now understand what you are trying to do. Something like ?q=menu does not work out of the box. I am not sure if there is a module that will do something like you want. It appears to me that the XML Sitemap is the closest to what you want, as it is easy to parse it. But maybe someone else has a better idea.

Regards
