Plugin – Rbl-Navigator
Author: rberthou
Description
Rbl-Navigator is my second plugin for WordPress. In this plugin I just integrate a treeview menu in a widget.
This plugin permit to represent in just a widget your last articles, the list of the categories (and their “n” last articles), static links and the directory contents. I think I am going to add soon, if it seems usefull to you, the blogroll and the list of the last comments.
Exemple of use

Installation
To install this plugin on your WordPress configuration you just have to:
- Unzip the download file in the index/wp-content/plugins of your wordpress installation.
- Start the plugin in the administration console.
- Add a widget Rbl-Navigator in your SideBar.
- Configure this widget
Configuration

When you parametrize the Rbl-Navigator widget, a window appears and permit to specify the followings parameters :
- Title : Title of the widget
- Data : This data permit to build a treeview.
- Image Base : Default index of the images used by the plugins. (normally “img/ot”)
- Separator : Separation tape normally used by the plugin.”§”
- Max size : Max lenght of an item of the treeview in tape. (0 if there is no limit)

But it perfectly works if the Javascript support is desactivated.
- Optimisation : To limit the acess to the data base, a file is generate during the key-boarding of an article or during the modification of the widget’s configuration.

Can you help me figure out what should I insert on the plugin widjet in order to make it work?
Bassecly I want my catagoris and archives to be located on the side bar without taking to much space.
You can see my current sidebar:

Sorry but I never use wp-dtree () and I dont know there functionality.
i see your site with wp-dtree and with rbl-navigator you can not :
– set node icon to right (only left)
– display archive (not implemented but I think add this in the next version).
hi. Thanks for plugin
