Adds a widget to your sidebar for section based navigation. Essential for CMS implementations!

The title of the widget is the top level page within the current section. Shows all page siblings (except on the top level page), all parents and grandparents (and higher), the siblings of all parents and grandparents (up to top level page), and any immediate children of the current page. Can also be called by a function inside template files.

It includes an easy to use configuration panel inside the WordPress settings menu. From this panel you can:

1. Determine whether the section navigation widget should appear on the home page
2. Override standard behavior and have the widget show all pages in the current section
3. Determine whether the widget should appear even if the section only has one page (the top level)
4. Provide a list of pages to exclude from the output
5. Determine whether the section navigation should still appear when viewing excluded pages
6. Determine whether the section title should be linked
7. Determine page sort order (defaults to menu order)

The widget uses standard WordPress navigation classes, in addition to a unique class around the widget, for easy styling.

Compatible with WordPress MU.

Considerable under the hood changes in 1.2 fixes page flattening / depth issue by "excluding" instead of "including" pages.
