When Is Navigation Root Behavior Useful?

Question

After creating a Dexterity type through the web, I try enabling the Navigation root behavior. I find this behavior forcing the items displaying as they are in the navigation-root context.

What example use cases will we find this behavior good for?

Environment: Plone 4.3.1

Answer 1

It's useful for when you have any folder that should be the "root" of navigation, such as language folders, or if you have your site split up into independent sub-sections or microsites.

Answer 2

we use it for one thing: microsites.

take a look at collective.behavior.localregistry and collective.behavior.localdiazo for a couple of packages using this feature.
