Dear All, is it possible to customize the navigation menu in the sidebar, for example to change the ordering from automatic alphabetical to a manual order? Would be the extension "Menu Application" the right choice for this? Thank you very much. Best, Willi

Hi Willi, The Navigation Panel ( http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Panels+Application#HNa… ), which I think you are referring to, doesn't support manual ordering. If the navigation menu you want to put in place doesn't change very often (and you're OK with hard-coding it) then you can use the Menu Application, but also the static Tree Macro ( http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Tree+Macro#HStaticTree ). If you need the navigation menu to be dynamic (as it is right now) then you can either create a custom tree (starting from the http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Document+Tree+Macro ) or use the Menu Application with some scripting as in http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Menu+Application#HHier… .

After a lot more trial and error I found out, that the drag-and-drop behavior of this panel and the Navigation-heading belongs to this function: #panelheader($services.localization.render('xe.panels.navigation')) #panelheader means in CSS/HTML --> ID But the "services.localization.render"- function with the 'xe.panels.navigation' -String(?) is unfortunately too deep in the xwiki-backend for me. It would be nice if you could Send a link, where this syntax and the meaning of the function is explained in the documentation. I know that often "2-lazy-2google" questions are asked - but that would be The step I want to learn next for getting deeper in the backend - for being able to customize xwiki more for our company.

Hi guys, To create a panel is very simple: http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Panels+Application

The $services.localization.render('xe.panels.navigation’) part is just an API call to get a translation key for internationalisation. If you create your own panel btw, you’ll get some default content. You can use: #panelheader(“My Panel") … Thanks -Vincent

Check the "Display Hidden Pages" in your user profile http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/User%20Profile%20Appli… . The panel page you created is not marked as hidden, so it appears in the navigation tree, along with its parent (Panels). You can hide the panel page from Wiki edit mode, see http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Features/PageEditing#HAdvancedMode . Hope this helps,
