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

Hi, Yes, it was exactly sub-wiki case :-) If we have both XE and XEM as a "standard", - it looks strange a bit to consider sub-wiki "non-standard" use case :-) JavaScript behaves wierd a bit: menu elements "jumping" in some cases occured :-) Probably, CSS won't suffer from "jumping disease", I will check it later :-) Anyhow, thanks a Lot for enlightenment on this topic.

There is no need to edit them in xml form. You can edit them from the Edit menu, from inside the wiki. >Working "fine from scratch" is a subjective opinion, because you wanted to work also on subwikis, to have separate menu content for each wiki, one is done with javascript - the other with vms, etc. so one may think this is not the "standard" use case, but another, so it might not worked "from scratch" in your use case. >Thanks, >Caty >On Fri, Sep 21, 2012 at 2:21 PM, Dmitry Bakbardin <haru_mamburu(a)mail.ru> wrote: >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.
