We all know Knop is awesome for creating custom web apps. Now I
want to have both web apps (where the folders beginning with "_"
contain the Knop includes) and a content management system as
well. All using virtual URLs. I assume others have tread this
path before.

When a user requests a resource, the logic in pseudo-code would be:

if(iswebapp)
load(Knop config, etc., for webapp)
else
if(iscmscontent)
load(content from db)
else
load(friendly404, content from db designated as "default")
/if
/if

Here are some examples to illustrate what I mean:

http://site.com/login
Knop web app that handles user logins
_config/cfg_login.inc
_library/lib_login.inc
_content/cnt_login.inc
_action/act_login.inc

http://site.com/content_that_exists_in_db
OR
http://site.com/content_that_does_not_exist
Knop web app that displays the requested OR default content to
the user
Knop loads:
_config/cfg_cms.inc
_library/lib_cms.inc
_content/cnt_cms.inc
_action/act_cms.inc

(1) Is there a built-in Knop tag that scans a folder for the
existence of a given page config and returns true or false?

(2) Next I need to figure out the Knop nav part. Would it be
something like this?

var('nav'=knop_nav(
-default='cms',
-root=$siteroot,
-navmethod=$navmethod));

$nav -> insert(
-key='login',
-label='Login');

$nav -> insert(
-key='cms',
-label='CMS');

...followed by other web apps.

(3) Finally I plan to restrict access to certain web apps. My
intent was to build knop_nav based on the knop_user and its
instance variable's ->getpermission, like so:

if($s_user->getpermission('edit_article'));
$nav -> insert(
-key='edit',
-label='Edit');
/if;

Is that about right?
