2.6. Flexible navigation and always-updated site maps

As CMS sites get bigger, the need for efficient and flexible navigation increases. Plone provides many significant enhancements, including:

  • Configuration of search results
  • Automatic site map generation
  • Configurable folder home pages
  • Hiding individual items
  • Blacklisting of an entire content type class

Site administrators can now easily control the appearance of items in the navigation with only a mouse click.

In addition, Plone ships with a full-featured, flexible site map that provides user- and security-specific sitemaps of sites — without any coding or maintenance. The site map is also color-coded by state, making it easy to do a quick, visual security inspection of your site.
