Setting up the navigation widget

To set up the navigation widget to display on every page in Kotti on the left side add kotti_navigation.kotti_configure to the kotti.configurators setting in your ini file:

kotti.configurators = kotti_navigation.kotti_configure

To set up the navigation widget on the right side you have to use the pyramid.includes option in your ini file:

pyramid.includes =
    ...
    kotti_navigation.include_navigation_widget_right

To exclude the root of the site from the navigation, set the kotti_navigation.navigation_widget.include_root variable.:

kotti.configurators = kotti_navigation.kotti_configure
kotti_navigation.navigation_widget.include_root = false

To open the whole navigation all the time, set the kotti_navigation.navigation_widget.open_all variable. This is useful if you plan to set up a popup menu via css or javascript:

kotti.configurators = kotti_navigation.kotti_configure
kotti_navigation.navigation_widget.open_all = false

You can exclude specific content types from the whole navigation structure. If you not want to show images in the navigation at all, set the kotti_navigation.navigation_widget.exclude_content_types variable to the following.:

kotti_navigation.navigation_widget.exclude_content_types =
    kotti.resources.Image
