00:00 don't know
00:10 hey everybody Joe Workman here and today
00:11 I want to introduce you to a completely
00:13 new way to do navigation on your
00:15 websites compassDemo
00:17 so here we have the demo project that
00:19 ships with compass and you'll notice
00:21 that we have a very simple web page with
00:23 very simple navigation and out of the
00:25 box Compass will analyze the navigation
00:28 of your menu and dynamically create next
00:31 and previous buttons for you directly on
00:34 your web page
00:35 so here we know Compass knows that we
00:37 are on the first web page there is no
00:39 previous page in the menu so go ahead it
00:42 goes ahead and creates a next link when
00:43 we click on that it takes us to page two
00:46 of our web project
00:49 and from there we can then navigate
00:51 previous and next based on our
00:53 navigationStacks
00:56 now Compass ships with two stacks the
00:58 main Compass Stacks is the brains behind
01:00 the operation this is where you
01:02 configure the source of your links
01:04 whether that is a menu total CMS blog or
01:07 an actual CSV of URL lists the next
01:11 stack is called Compass link and this
01:13 allows you to quickly uh generate next
01:16 and previous links using Compass however
01:20 you don't have to use Compass link you
01:22 can actually integrate Compass to any
01:24 stack you want simply by adding the
01:26 compass previous or Compass next classes
01:29 to your links
01:32 Encompass also comes with over 30
01:35 different arrows that you can use inside
01:37 your compass link stack or as images on
01:40 your website for next and previous
01:42 buttons
01:44 make sure you check out our live stream
01:46 on how you can actually customize these
01:47 as wellSummary
01:49 so to see Compass is really simple to
01:51 use now make sure you check out our how
01:54 to live stream on how to use all the
01:56 features and how to actually configure
01:57 it especially with blog we do an entire
01:59 how-to video on that however Compass
02:03 itself is super simple it analyzes your
02:06 menus or a list of links provided and it
02:08 will automatically generate previous and
02:11 next buttons for you this is great for
02:14 maybe a how-to or anything that you want
02:16 to do step-by-step steps where you want
02:18 to walk your visitor through various web
02:21 pages
02:22 um in an orderly fashion now what's
02:25 great is compass is actually completely
02:26 Dynamic so you can actually throw it in
02:28 a partial put it inside of every web
02:30 page that you want and it'll work
02:32 dynamically on each of those pages
02:34 individually so that's Compass if you
