[Radiant] Tag and context

[Christian Billen]

Hi Victor,

Yes I figured something out to make it work for me with as little  
hardcoded encoding as possible

Basically I use <r:find url="/products" >

Then within that I iterate through all children and within each  
iteration I iterate through the second level.

I use the navigation extension you describe to change the css class  
as necessary (modified that extension, added the unless_ for  
if_ancestor and unless_self

The result so far: www2.warmlyyours.com
