[Building Sakai] Hierachical navigation

[Steve Swinsburg]

Also the site hierarchy can be set via the GUI in site info, which handles that parent property for you. This is in Sakai 2.8.

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.
