I may be crazy, but I believe I have been able to get the basic functionality of Nested URLS in a module with only 2 modifications to the core of sapphire.

Goals:

1. As little change possible to the core of SilverStripe (cms, jsparty, sapphire)
2. To separate navigation/Sitetree structure with URL structure
3. Ability to toggle nested urls

This requires SilverStripe 2.3+

To Install:
1. Make the following changes to your SilverStripe installation:

                if($this->URLSegment == 'home' && !$action) return Director::baseURL();
+        $result = $this->extend('Link',$action);
+        if($result){
+            return $result[0];
+        }
                else return Director::baseURL() . $this->URLSegment . "/$action";
        }

2. Extract the module tar.gz into the base of you SilverStripe directory so that
/nestedurls is parallel with /cms and /sapphire
3. Run /dev/build?flush=1
4. All done! You should know have nested urls!
5. Leave a comment or email me if you have any suggestions to change the code/make improvements/fix a bug/etc…
