Hi,
I mentioned they were .xml files because I was describing the package
content. 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

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

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.) .
Thanks,
Caty
