Hi Domi,

Thanks for the suggestion! I think I've also heard some people
discussing this on the forums before.

>From a user experience perspective, I think this might make the most
sense if it could be folded into the existing "Navigation" block;
perhaps as an "Advanced" tab, or maybe even a full replacement for it.
That would be better than having two separate but slightly different
blocks for navigation.

As noted, the current workaround is for users to create a text or note
block and insert links to their pages manually. One thing that would
make that workaround easier, which is an idea I've been kicking around
for a while, is to make a TinyMCE plugin similar to the new "image
picker" plugin, but for creating links to pages & collections.
Apparently I had not actually filed that as a wishlist bug yet, so I've
gone ahead and done that now: Bug 1520028.

Cheers,
Aaron

Title:
  Customizable navigation block for pages

Status in Mahara:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  During a workshop today someone suggested it would be nice if you
  could create a custom navigation block for a page.

  This could be hacked by using a text block with hard links, but this
  isn't an ideal solution. It would be nice if in the navigation block,
  rather than having to choose a whole collection you could choose
  individual pages.

  This particular student wanted to navigation to be different for
  different pages, so you could kind of persuade the flow of someone's
  journey through the portfolio.

  They also mentioned the possibility of nested navigation, so basically
  having sub pages - not sure if this could be managed at the same time
  by allowing indenting of certain pages in the navigation block to
  express a hierarchy.
