Re: [xwiki-users] Horizontal Menu like xwiki.org in Farm

Hi, Caty, IMHO, users would appreciate all kind of these hints and customization in step-by-step "manual". I had an occasion with a very short time to implement "XWiki.org-styled" horizontal menu: I installed it, - it didn't work. :-( I gave up and installed "non-XWiki.org-styled menu" instead and it worked fine "from scratch". Editing xml file - fine, but looks not so obvious for less experienced users  :-) Kind Regards, Dmitry Fri, 21 Sep 2012 13:30:20 +0300 от "Ecaterina Moraru (Valica)" <valicac(a)gmail.com>om>: >Well you said you managed to put the Menu in all your wikis. How did you do that? What you find in the archive is: - WebPreferences.xml page: this sets the skin "xwiki:XWikiOrgCode.Skin" as the active skin. The wiki mark "xwiki:" means that the skin is located on your main wiki - Skin.xml page: it's a standard skin file, with the addition that it has the header.vm field overwritten and adds a reference to "xwiki:XWikiOrgCode.MenuMacro". Having again the "xwiki:" marks means that this uses the file from the main wiki. One quick fix for your problem is instead of "xwiki:XWikiOrgCode.MenuMacro" put "{your_subwiki_name}:XWikiOrgCode.MenuMacro" or even simpler "XWikiOrgCode.MenuMacro". This means that the path is no longer absolute, but relative to your subwiki. Make sure you duplicate on your subwiki the "XWikiOrgCode.MenuMacro" page and add any contextual content you want in it. - MenuMacro.xml page that contains the content of the menu. The case described up means that for each subwiki you have you create a separate MenuMacro page. The subwikis can share the same skin, or have separate skins for each subwikis. The other solution I mentioned is going in MenuMacro.xml and writting conditions (if, else, context.database, etc.) .
