The Auto-Nav block instantly generates a textual navigation menu for your website.

The auto-nav block will return an unordered list of pages in tree form matching the settings you use. You can then use a custom template at the block level to control formatting of the menu. 


Pages should appear: In this drop-down menu you select how you want the pages to be ordered in the nav. They can be arranged how they are in the sitemap, chronologically/reverse chronologically, or alphabetically/reverse alphabetically.

Viewing Permissions: You can choose to display pages that users may not actually have access to if you like. By default this is off. This means that if a visitor does not have viewing access to a certain page, it won't show up in this auto-nav block either.

Display Pages: Here's where you choose what level of pages are displayed. Choose the appropriate level you want to display.

Include selected page as top node in list: Select this if you want your current page added to the top of the auto-nav.

Sub-Pages: Choose the amount of sub-pages you want displayed, if any. 
- No sub-pages: This will display only the top level of the nav you've selected. 
- Relevant sub-pages: Only displays the sub-pages relevant the page you're currently viewing. 
- Display breadcrumb trail: Shows only the trail of pages that led you to the current page. 
- Display all sub-pages: Shows all sub-pages.

Sub-Page Levels: Here's where you choose exactly how many sub-pages are shown. 
- Display sub-pages to current: Shows all sub-pages that led you to the page you're currently viewing. 
- Display sub-pages to current+1: Shows all sub-pages that led you to the page you're currently viewing, plus another level below the page you're viewing. 
- Display all: Shows every sub-page attached to every page under the level of nav you've chosen. 
- Display custom amount: You choose how many levels of sub-pages you want your nav to display.

When you're satisfied with your settings, click "Add" to add the auto nav to your page.
