Can anyone point me to a navigation/menu module/approach that would fulfill the requirements of a very common website format:
The problem I have found with drupal is that everything is thrown together. This is great for following related links but I want a much more defined approach with clearly seperated sections.
In designing my 'sports' site architecture I see 2 options:
I. Organised by sports:
Cricket
>news
>events
>articles
Football
>news
>events
>articles
Athletics
>news
>events
>articles
II. Organised by an arbitrary concept
News
Style
Equipment
I have choosen to go for option II because I want a variety of editorial styles just as my sunday newspaper comes with lots of different sections.
So my 'sports' site has the following links in the main horizontal navigation at the top of the page: News, Style and Equipment. (these sections have been set up in taxonomy). Clicking on one of these links takes the user into that section.
Once on this page the page should also have the title of the section, and a vertical navigation bar that displays content specific to this section.
The content of each section will consist of various content types (story/static pages/events/colb. book). Each content element can be assigned to a more specific taxonomy, i.e athletics, football or cricket.
If I click to expand/read content in this section the section header must remain at the top of the page.
