Navigation issues

Permalink
This should be easy to answer, but I can't find it myself. Thanks in advance to those who answer:

I want to use a non-autonav navigation. In other words, I have a nice (valid) html/css menu that I'm not interested in having changed automatically by autonav.

I want to use the same Page Type for different directory levels (/about and /about/history, for example). This means I need the navigation to be aware of where it is in the file structure and update itself accordingly (so /about/history doesn't end up trying to go to /about/about/vision)

Hope that was clear. Any help would be much appreciated. Still cutting my PHP chops, but I'm willing to work.

If you're not using the auto-nav and hard-coding the menu in, couldn't you just use full paths to the page then?

<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.site.com/about/vision">Test</a></li>
</ul>

instead of

<ul>
<li><a href="/about/vision">Test</a></li>
</ul>

Sure, that would work. I was hoping for a shorter method, but perhaps I'll just lay out the whole path.

That's the best way I can think of if you're hard-coding it. If that works for you please mark my answer. Thanks!
