Easy way to create custom navigation in sidebars or other pre-defined areas. Conditional tags are included to specify pages where widgets appear.

== Description ==

This plugin adds a widget into the Widgets dashboard that allows in a simple way, without using PHP, to create custom 
navigation in any sidebar pre-defined by your WP theme.

Version 1.2 - Added Top/Horizontal Navigation management functionality. You can assign multiple top navigation widgets to different parts of your blog/site if desired.

Plugin is based on Daikos' Text Widget by Rune Fjellheim and uses livequery jQuery library from http://plugins.jquery.com/project/livequery

== Installation ==

Like any other basic plugin.

1. Upload `simple-sidebar-navigation` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress
3. Go to the Widgets dashboard, scroll to the bottom to add the desired number of widgets. Add widgets to your sidebars and edit them. The edit window should be self explanatory.

Top Navigation Management functionality:

1. Edit your theme's header template or the correct template that contains header navigation. If you have static navigation links in your template or any other functions that generate your top navigation - paste it instead of this tag <!--YOUR OLD NAVIGATION -->.

<?php
if ( !function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') || !dynamic_sidebar('Simple Top Nav') ) : ?>
<!--YOUR OLD NAVIGATION -->
<?php 
endif; 
?>

Until the "Simple Top Nav" widget is created in the administrative widgets dashboard - your old navigation will still be functioning. The same applies when the Simple Sidebar Plugin is disabled or removed.

2. Go to the administrative Widgets dashboard and select "Simple Top Nav" as your current widget. Add one of the available Simple Sidebar Navigation widgets to the sidebar and edit it.

Notes: 
- If you add any more widgets to the Simple Top Nav sidebar - it may break your theme's design or layout since only one list of links is usually expected to be there.
- Widget's Title in the Simple Top Nav sidevar should be blank - otherwise it will be hidden via inline CSS as display:none. I couldn't figure out how to alter the widget "on load" to remove it's title since it shouldn't be in the top navigation.
