I'd like to see my page tree always. For example, when I choose Company (by demo) i need see that. Now page tree shows from first subcategory only.

you actually do see it, in the page name just under the main menu (the menu under logo).
Tell you what, in templates/container.tpl insert
<div style='text-align:left;padding-left:5px;'>$sPagesTree</div>
under the <div id="content">

It will be much clearer where you are in the page structure that way.

but here http://web.asmeninis.com/?high-mountain,16 it is

Yes I know, but the inherent philosophy of navipath feature is that when it's unnecessary (you're in top-level page and the page name is displayed in big, thumb-sized letters) it just doesn't display. Why should it anyway...

BTW I was looking into the sources and I couldn't figure out how a page's parents generating works.

I intend to use navipath instead of page title (in pages_default.tpl), so I need it.

hmm... you only need to transfer navipath into the page template rendering, it shouldn't be too difficult IMO.

Then perhaps you could use CSS and make it look like this using custom template for root categories and another custom template for other categories.
It would look like this (imagine this in blue letters and identical font and size):

(for root categories)
[category name]

(for subcategories)
[navipath root category] >> [navipath subcategory] >> [category name]

Of course, category name doesn't need to be clickable, since the user already is there. But it can have the same color & size as navipath.

oh, actually, I just realized you don't need to transfer navipath anywhere. You just need to hack the pages_xxx.tpl and container.tpl templates in almost such a way, as I described previously (at 2008-11-18 12:08:28 and 2008-11-20 00:19:03). This is DAMN too easy. Problem solved.

Ok, I'm trying to say what I need:

I moved <div id="navipath">$sPagesTree</div> from container.tpl to pages_default.tpl istead of <h3>$aData[sName]</h3> and it's almost ok. In this solution there's a problem: I can't see the pages tree when I'm on top level. I wanna see my navipath always: when I press Company, when...

Well, I'm talking about like this <h3>$aData[sName] - $sPagesTree</h3>
