How to implement navigation in the design?

Post by leart »

Hey guys,

I'm pretty sure this is a common topic and so I was wondering if there's a common/design pattern solution to this problem.
The problem - my web application navigation is split into Sections and it's modules so it's a 2-levels navigation.
For example, there's Management, and inside it: Users, Groups etc.

I have chosen to go with CodeIgniter framework and I was wondering about how to support that?

If it wasn't made clear until now then the importance of the navigation isn't only to draw HTML links but rather, each module in a section
would have to know which is it's parent section (for the Users module it'll be the Management section). And also, each section and module
would need to have attributes like 'active' (for css markup) and such as 'location' for the link to redirect somewhere (to the controller
of the module for example).


Hoping to get your help on this...
