<p>A common web design pattern is to have a primary navigation with the top level pages, and then a separate<br />
navigation element on each page that shows only those pages related to a common top-most page. This widget helps<br />
to build those secondary navigation elements.</p>
<p>If your page structure was like this:</p>
<ul>
<li>Home</li>
<li>About</li>
<li>— Our History</li>
<li>— Our Staff</li>
<li>— — Employment Opportunities</li>
<li>Services</li>
<li>— Widget Development</li>
<li>— Gadget Deployment</li>
<li>Contact Us</li>
</ul>
<p>and you added the widget with its default settings to a sidebar, it would create a list like this:</p>
<ul>
<li>About</li>
<li>Our History</li>
<li>Our Staff</li>
<li>— Employment Opportunities</li>
</ul>
<p>on <strong>any</strong> of the pages in the About subtree. Notice that the top-most ancestor, About, is included as the first element of the list.</p>
<h4>Options</h4>
<ol>
<li><strong>Title</strong>. The widget title. If left blank, it defaults to the title of the top ancestor page.</li>
<li><strong>Show Title</strong>. Maybe you don’t want a title. Just turn it off here.</li>
<li><strong>Top Page</strong>. You can select one of your pages to be the top page, or you can choose Default, which determines the top-most ancestor of the page being displayed.</li>
<li><strong>Menu Class</strong>. Gets applied to the outermost <ul> element.</li>
<li><strong>Before Links</strong>. HTML to be inserted before links in the list.</li>
<li><strong>After Links</strong>. HTML to be inserted after links in the list.</li>
</ol>

<p>This plugin works like the standard Page widget, however this one works how you want it to do.</p>
<h4>The menu unfolds sub-items as required</h4>
<p>This plugin displays initially the pages menu top-level pages only.<br />
While on a page, the child pages that belong to the page are also listed.<br />
While on a child-page, the subsequent grand-child pages are listed also.<br />
Etc. as deeply as reuired.</p>
<h4>Extra features</h4>
<p>Additionally a Home-link can be added that will display conditionally.<br />
You can select from: Always, On a page only, Never.<br />
When On a page only is selected, the Home link will display ony when you are on a page, so when you might need it.</p>
<p>The advantage of this plugin is that a huge amount of pages can be in a menu, without the user getting lost as long as you provide a proper tree-structure to them.</p>
<h4>Also included</h4>
<p>The standard configurability of Widget title, Excluded pages, Sort order.</p>
