Installation

1. Install or add django-navbuilder to your Python path.
2. Add navbuilder to your INSTALLED_APPS setting.
3. Add url(r'^navbuilder/', include("navbuilder.urls", namespace="navbuilder")) to your url patterns (only required if you intend on using the list/detail views)

Usage

Include the navbuilder templatetags:

{% load navbuilder_tags %}

Use the inclusion tag which has been provided: {% render_menu slug %}

Breadcrumbs

The breadcrumbs tag tries to render breadcrumbs, based on the current object. It does this by trying to find a menu item that points to context[“object”], and then constructs a breadcrumb trail depending on the menu structure. It prefers using the structure of the menu designated by slug, but will use any menu available. Typical use case for this would be if the main menu has an about/terms page, but it’s mirrored in the footer menu in a much flatter layout. We prefer the main menu structure. This also allows us to construct breadcrumbs for items that don’t show up in page menus at all.

Inclusion tag usage: {% navbuilder_breadcrumbs slug %}

The very specific naming for the tag is used so that it could be used with other breadcrumb generators as a fallback.
