[Imc-drupal-dev] Drupal Tampa Bay IMC documentation

[Ben West]

Hi Mark,

I use the indymedia cities module already on reboot.stlimc.org, which
itself is now a rather large documentation project that I need to
undertake soon, since that site basically evolved entirely on its own
w/o collaborating with the indy-drupal collective.  (If foresight were
20/20...)

Anyhoo, Rob from tampabay has cobbled together his own solution for
JS-driven, dynamically-collapsible menus.  I can see he is
incorporating JS code from outside the Drupal sphere (google for
"explorer tree"), and I am particularly curious how he populates the
lists that become the dynamic menus, e.g. the topics list, the issues
list.  Are these lists just hard-coded, are they populated
dynamically?  Inquiring minds...

Also, the drupal community at large has pondered dynamic menus too:
