Adding many files to the FP Navigation Hierarchy

P

I have a web where hundreds of files are deleted and then
added to a catalog directory by the eCommerce Wizard for
Commerce Manager. Since the files are deleted, their
position in the navigation tree is destroyed. How would
you re-establish the navigation structure without manually
building it one file at a time? The only solution that I
could think of involved writing a FP VBA macro to add the
pages to one of the navigation nodes (pages). This macro
is rather slow and needs to open and save each page
otherwise FP can't seem to detect that the page is
updated. Is there a way around the open/save code to
update the pages faster. In general is there a better way
to maintain the navigation structure for a large number of
files in a dynamic environment?

Instead of using the FP navigation component which is based on the structure
under Navigation view, consider generate your navigation via server-side
scripting and a database.
