Replacement for navigation nodes in Ivy 4.x HTML web pages?

Question

We are working with Ivy 4.3 to develop a web page based solution. We have a main project and several other projects that use the main one. How can we develop a nice site navigation in the layout JSP content objects so that I can start a process from another project. In 3.9 we had the navigation node content objects, but in Ivy4 they are no more there, So, how can we do this with Ivy 4?

Accepted Answer

You can re-build the same approach like in 3.9 easily. Create in each project a folder navigation in which you store text content objects that contain your link information. Use a pre-defined structure that you can parse easily.

<%@ page import="ch.ivyteam.ivy.cm.IContentManagementSystem"%>
<%@ page import="ch.ivyteam.ivy.cm.IContentObject"%>
<%
    for(IContentManagementSystem cms : ivy.cms().getAllCmsFromRequiredProjects())
    {
        IContentObject navFolder = cms.getContentObject("/navigation");
        for (IContentObject navItem : navFolder.getChildren())
        {
%>
<%= navItem.getValues().get(0).getContentAsString() %>
<%
        }
    }
%>

Another possibility is to loop directly over all process starts and filter them according to a naming scheme. And then use the required process starts for the navigation links.
