Feature request: better default navigation experience

Larry
Again, thanks for the pointer.
I implemented your suggestion on my test server with lots of manually 
editing.

That  bring me to my original request. I think above process should be 
automated
by parsing bb-hosts file and insert the links onto each page instead of 
Tigra menu_items.js file.

Its pretty easy to put something like this in to the menuing system that is
included with hobbit. You just have to modify the
server/www/menu/menu_items.js file. Here's a sample from mine:

var MENU_ITEMS = [
   ['Views', null, null,
       ['Main view', '/hobbit/bb.html', null,
           ['APHIS', '/hobbit/APHIS', null,
               ['AQAS', '/hobbit/APHIS/AQAS'],
               ['ALBES', '/hobbit/APHIS/ALBES'],
               ['EPermits', '/hobbit/APHIS/EPERMITS'],
               ['NAIS', '/hobbit/APHIS/NAIS'],
               ['PCIT', '/hobbit/APHIS/PCIT'],
           ],
           ['CEE', '/hobbit/CEE'],
           ['CENS', '/hobbit/CENS'],
           ['CMITS', '/hobbit/CMITS'],
           ['CPAIS', '/hobbit/CPAIS'],
           ['Dept. of Labor', '/hobbit/DOL'],
           ['Environment', '/hobbit/ENV'],
           ['ESS', '/hobbit/ESS', null,
               ['Active Directory', '/hobbit/ESS/ACT_DIR'],
               ['AMS', '/hobbit/ESS/AMS',null,
                   ['PreProduction', '/hobbit/ESS/AMS/AMS_PREPROD'],
                   ['Production', '/hobbit/ESS/AMS/AMS_PROD'],
.... and on and on for a few hundred lines.

Thanks,
Larry Barber

Following is an example borrow from ebay.


I can navigate different categories easily under powersports by clicking
"PowerSports"

Listed in category:     eBay Motors > Powersports > Scooters & Mopeds >
Honda


Is it possible that bbgen can generate URLs at top menu like above
"PowerSports" line ?
so page,subpage,subagent tags in bb-hosts file  can form a direct link
from
any pages on hobbit server.
