[Building Sakai] Hierachical navigation

[csev]

Lucas,

Take a look at this Indiana University Knowledge Base article:

https://www.indiana.edu/~sakaikb/display.cgi?docid=bbau

If you want to handle this programmatically, there is a property called sakai:parent-id that can be put on sites to knit them together.

Oxford University has a set of local modifications that go beyond this feature in the out of the box Sakai.

Also, I would make sure that you are evaluating the trunk (Sakai 2.9) in addition to Sakai 2.8.   Sakai 2.9 includes LessonBuilder which is a structured content system similar to Moodle's activities.  LessonBuilder can be run in Sakai 2.8 - but it is pre-integrated into Sakai 2.9.

The tutors have asked me to implement those links which display a level by level path to the page where the user is (example: University of Somewhere -> Computer Science -> 2012.1 -> Operating Systems -> Unit 5), so he is able to navigate to anywhere in the path that lead him to the current page. The exact feature I must implement can be seen in this screen shot (attached) of a Moodle page.
