[pmwiki-users] Site maps: Sitemapper vs. Search for /

The point of sitemapper is to create a navigation structure for a site
that doesn't exactly match the group/page structure. A listing of all
the wiki pages by group is a different thing, with exactly two levels
of hierarchy and very little flexibility in making changes.

The sitemap in Sitemapper isn't the end result of the recipe, it's a
tool from which navigation elements can be generated. For example take
a look at <http://automation.tkk.fi/Agrix-en>. There, the top-level
navigation on the left, the breadcrumb trail at the top and the
bottom-level navigation at right are all generated using the sitemap
at <http://automation.tkk.fi/Sitemap> and the place where the link to
"Agrix-en" is mentioned there.

Fundamentally, the idea is to use Sitemapper to allow pages to appear
to have a hierarchy while avoiding the problems of actual hierarchical
pages presented at
<http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWiki/HierarchicalGroups>.

Also, your link didn't work for me due to to the language selection,
so I assume that you meant what's seen at
<http://www.kirpi.it/wiki/pmwiki.php?n=Main.Cerca&userlang=it&action=search&q=%2f>.
