issues
  • limited to single menu for all containers/categori
    es
  • performance?
  • changing settings sometimes does not
    retroactively update existing c/cs
  • ui confusing for end-users
  • unpublished node has visible menu item?

8
stuff i dont understandyet
  • distant parents, multiple parents
  • transforming other content types to behave like
    c/cs

9
proposed enhancements
  • ability to assign a default menu for each
    container
  • add nodes in context. i.e.
  • add page, add story, add blog post, etc
  • based on enabled content types for the container
