Publishing: building navigation menus and lists of files

Publishing: building navigation menus and lists of files

I am hoping to finally transition some of my websites to static sites
published directly from org finally!). one thing I would really like is to
automatically build menus and perhaps index files based on the directory
structure I'm exporting from.  So, if I have:

RLG231
|
|--Assignments
|   |
|   |-- Assignment1.org
|
|--Lectures
     |
     |-- etc

I would like to have a navigation bar with links to "Assignments" and
"Lectures" , and possibly dropdown menus for "Assignment1.html", etc.

What do other people do with their websites?

I have the idea, also, that within the directories I might like to have an "
index.org" that looks like this:

* Lectures
This class has lectures.  They are really interesting.  Here is a list:
#+BEGIN_SRC
this block will output a nicely formatted html list of all the lectures in
this directory,
#+END_SRC

I imagine other people have figured this out so I would love to learn from
you all...

Have you seen org-html-themes https://github.com/fniessen/org-html-themes ? You might get some ideas from there?

Cheers,

i love org-html-themes but it's designed for individual files. I'm
interested in embedding the files in a bigger structure; not sure what
other people use for this.  THere is some hints here:

http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-publish-html-tutorial.html

But the menus here are created statically; I would like to generate them
dynamically if possible.

I'm half way there with one of my websites.  Like you, I wanted to
insert a menu based on the file's location within my directory tree.
The solution I came up with was to use the html_preamble
(http://orgmode.org/manual/HTML-preamble-and-postamble.html).  I got
side tracked and only got as far as inserting an identical menu for each
file, but my intention remains to use a function to consider the file's
location in my directory structure and generate a menu accordingly.

Hmm - job for this evening perhaps.
