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

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.

When you parametrize the Rbl-Navigator widget, a window appears and permit to specify the followings parameters :

Other

• JQuery : This plugin use the intern version at WordPress of JQuery to limit the modifications during the oppening of the closing of a node.
  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.
