The content navigation widget adds persistent sidebar navigation draw from your sites natural hiearchy.

The widget title and URL are configurable, and three separate list styles are available.

Navigation List Styles

Site

Shows all of your sites content, with the section that you are currently in expanded to reveal the currently active page.

Section

Similar to "Site", except listings are restricted to only display the currently active section.

Adaptive

Adaptive mode is useful for large site hierarchies. It adapts by "drilling down" based on the currently active page, limiting listings to no more than two levels (plus section title if configured).

Example behaviors given the following post tree:

Site Root

  • Child 1
    • Grandchild 1
    • Grandchild 2
      • Great grandchild 1

Scenario 1 - Top Level post with descendants

Site Root (as widget title)

  • Child 1
    • Grandchild 1
    • Grandchild 2

Scenario 2 - Second-level or deeper post with descendants (no siblings of active post displayed)

Child 1 (as widget title)

  • Grandchild 2
    • Great grandchild 1

Scenario 3 - Second-level or deeper post with no descendants (shows siblings)

Child 1 (as widget title)

  • Grandchild 1
    • Grandchild 2
