NAVT backups are forward compatible with NAVT 1.0.x+ Click the ? (help) buttons provided on the NAVT List page to get help. More help is available in the NAVT Home Page The doc directory contains a single page manual explaining the PHP interface function call syntax.

Release Notes

*1.0.34 Release Candidate _(July 23, 2009)_

1. Added Belarusian translation provided by Marcis Gasuns.
2. Tested against wp 2.8.2

*1.0.33 Release Candidate _(July 12, 2009)_

1. Adjustments made for user roles.
2. Tested against wp 2.8.1

*1.0.32 Release Candidate _(May 26, 2009)_

1. Fixed a problem in which carriage return/linefeeds are not removed from the JSON protocol string sent back to the client when returning menu group information. The carriage return/linefeed is contained as part of the string returned in a post or page title (new? as of 2.7.1). The carriage return/linefeed prevents the JSON code from correctly parsing the JSON protocol string and as a result the menu group box is not displayed.

*1.0.31 Release Candidate _(April 3, 2009)_

1. NAVT now detects whether or not anchor urls should be secure or non-secure. (My thanks to Len Wilson)

*1.0.30 Release Candidate _(March 28, 2009)_

1. include file change made for navtadmin.js.php. This is the only other file that requires wp-config.php to operate correctly. (My thanks to Audi for the help.)

*1.0.29 Release Candidate _(March 27, 2009)_

1. Added chmod call to enable file writing in the NAVT plugin directory if the wp-root.php file is not present. Please read the note provided below.

NOTE: If you are not able to see the NAVT Lists menu item in the Word Press dashboard:

Due to the number of ways you can now install WordPress it has become more difficult to find the location of the wp-config.php file from the plugin directory. If NAVT cannot locate the wp-config.php file it will not work;

To resolve the problem, the file wp-root.php is dynamically created (by the NAVT plugin) and placed the directory where the NAVT plugin is installed. The file contains the name of the directory where you installed Word Press; this enables NAVT to later determine where to find wp-config.php. To create the wp-root.php file, NAVT requires WRITE permission in the NAVT installation directory. The plugin will attempt to set the directory permissions (0777) to enable it to write the file and then change the permissions to 0755 once the file has been created. If it cannot create the file, the plugin will not work. If you look in the directory where NAVT is installed and you don't see the file: wp-root.php, change NAVT's installation directory permissions to 0777 and reload your home page (from your browser). The wp-root.php file should appear. Change the permissions back to 0755 after the file has been created. If you change your WordPress installation directory, delete the wp-root.php file in the NAVT installation directory so the file can be recreated.

*1.0.15 Release Candidate _(April 18, 2008)_

This feature can be turned on and off by checking or unchecking the new group option: "Show debug as comments in HTML source code". The debug output is off by default.

*1.0.14 Release Candidate _(April 17, 2008)_

2. Correction for escaping single quotations in link/alt strings (thanks to Troy Thompson for the heads up)

*1.0.7 Release Candidate _(April 3, 2008)_

1. Added hierarchical representations to pages and categories in the asset select lists. Child page and child category names are displayed (in the Assets Panel) with the number of dash characters that corresponds to the child's relative postion - similar to the way they are displayed by Word Press. The relative position information is only for informational purposes and is not translated to represent the item's position in a navigation group.

2. Added sorting capability to pages and category assets. Radio buttons have been added to the category and page select lists that enable you to change the sort order. Pages and categories can be sorted by 'title/name' or by 'menu order'.

3. Added localized language code (I.E, en-US, de-DE, (contents of WPLANG value) ) browser name and browser version as additional NAVT menu classes. Browser names (firefox, msie, etc) are followed by the browser version as group classes. This is useful for creating CSS classes that are targetted for use with specific languages, browsers and browser versions. The German language for example, can sometimes contain more letters in an expression or sentence than English - applying a class that targets a specific language enables you to adjust container widths to prevent word wrapping.

4. Browser class names:

* firefox * opera * msie * webtv * netpositive * mspie (MS Pocket Internet Explorer) * galeon * konqueror * icab * omniweb * phoenix * firebird * mozilla (Mozilla Alpha/Beta Versions) * amaya * safari * netscape

1. Version information

* Version numbers always begin with a 'v' followed by the version number without the 'DOT' characters. Check by looking at the source code produced by the browser.
