The !TopMenuSkin adds pulldown menus to the PatternSkin. ---++ Screenshot %SEARCH{ "%TOPIC%" scope="topic" nosearch="on" nototal="on" format="$pattern(.*\| *Screenshot\:[^\|]*\|([^\|]*).*)" }% ---++ Tob Bar and Menu Structure * TopMenuSkinTopBar - top bar with menu bar, logo and search boxes (replacing WebTopBar), can be cloned and customized per web * WebTopMenu - bullet list defining menu bar for %WEB% web * TopMenuSkinDefaultWebTopMenu - bullet list defining menu bar for webs that do not have a !WebTopMenu topic * TopMenuSkinHomeMenu - "Home" pulldown menu with web list, included by !WebTopMenu * TopMenuSkinTopicMenu - "Topic" pulldown menu with topic actions, included by !WebTopMenu __NOTE:__ The skin is designed to incorporate the "you are here" breadcrumb into the pulldown menus:%BR% "Home" menu => "Web" menu => List of parent topics, if any (shown as "P"s) => Current topic ("View" menu). #WebSpecific ---++ Web-specific Menu-Bars The TopMenuSkinDefaultWebTopMenu defines the default menu structure used in any web. A !WebTopMenu topic in a web can redefine the default menu structure. If the !WebTopMenu topic is missing in a web, create one with content of [[_default.WebTopMenu]] and customize it. Bullets must be of format =[[...][...]]= or =<a href="...">...</a>=, and may not contain any text next to the link. To preserve the "you are here" breadcrumb, it is important to add additional pulldown menus _after_ the INCLUDE of !%SYSTEMWEB%.TopMenuSkinTopicMenu. The top level menu-bar should have this structure: * INCLUDE of !%SYSTEMWEB%.TopMenuSkinHomeMenu * Current Web menu * INCLUDE of !%SYSTEMWEB%.TopMenuSkinTopicMenu * Additional pulldown menu(s) as needed (optional) Example !WebTopBar menu structure with additional "Bugs" pulldown menu: %INCLUDE{%SYSTEMWEB%.TopMenuSkinHomeMenu}% * [[%BASEWEB%.%HOMETOPIC%][ %MAKETEXT{"[_1] Web" args="%BASEWEB{format="$current"}%"}% %ICON{menu-down}%]] * [[%SCRIPTURLPATH{"view"}%/%BASEWEB%/WebCreateNewTopic?topicparent=%BASETOPIC%][ %ICON{"newtopic"}% %MAKETEXT{"Create New Topic"}%]] * [[%BASEWEB%.WebTopicList][ %ICON{"index"}% %MAKETEXT{"Index"}%]] * [[%BASEWEB%.WebSearch][ %ICON{"searchtopic"}% %MAKETEXT{"Search"}%]] * [[%BASEWEB%.WebChanges][ %ICON{"changes"}% %MAKETEXT{"Changes"}%]] * [[%BASEWEB%.WebNotify][ %ICON{"notify"}% %MAKETEXT{"Notifications"}%]] * [[%BASEWEB%.WebRss][ %ICON{"feed"}% %MAKETEXT{"RSS Feed"}%]] * [[%BASEWEB%.WebStatistics][ %ICON{"statistics"}% %MAKETEXT{"Statistics"}%]] * [[%BASEWEB%.WebPreferences][ %ICON{"wrench"}% %MAKETEXT{"Preferences"}%]] %INCLUDE{%SYSTEMWEB%.TopMenuSkinTopicMenu}% * [[BugTracker][%ICON{bug}% Bugs %ICON{menu-down}%]] * [[NewReport][Create bug report]] * [[OpenBugs][Open bugs]] * [[ConfirmedBugs][Confirmed bugs]] * [[FixedBugs][Fixed bugs]] ---++ Use Menu-Bars in Topics A menu-bar can be added anywhere in a topic: * Include the "%SYSTEMWEB%.TopMenuSkin" topic - this pulls in the CSS and !JavaScript needed for the menu-bar. * Create a nested bullet list with links: * The top level bullets define the menu-bar items. Bullets with/without links are supported. * Second level bullets define the pulldown options within a menu-bar item. * A second level bullet must contain exactly one link (format =[[...][...]]= or =<a href="...">...</a>=) without any text next to the link. * Third level bullets are not supported. * Enclose the bullet list with a =<div class="twTopMenuTab">= tag. Example: %INCLUDE{"%SYSTEMWEB%.TopMenuSkin"}%

__NOTE:__ The pulldown menus only work if the TWiki:Plugins/JQueryPlugin is installed and enabled. #ReadOnlySkinMode ---++ Read-Only Skin Mode This skin and the PatternSkin support a read-only mode. This is mainly useful if you have TWiki application pages or dashboards where you do not want regular users to change content. The read-only mode is enabled with a READONLYSKINMODE preferences setting set to 1. Details in %SYSTEMWEB%.PatternSkinCustomization#ReadOnlySkinMode. ---++ CSS and !JavaScript This section defines the CSS and !JavaScript used by the !TopMenuSkin; [[%SCRIPTURL{view}%/%WEB%/%TOPIC%?raw=on][View Raw]] to see the source. Some additional CSS is defined in =templates/vewi.topmenu.tmpl= %STARTINCLUDE% %ADDTOHEAD{ "TOPMENUSKIN_CSS" text="" }%%STOPINCLUDE% ---++ Create Your Own Look This skin is based on PatternSkin, and the same rules for customization apply. The !TopMenuSkin disables the sidebar and activates a different top bar in =twiki/templates/view.topmenu.tmpl=. Details in PatternSkinCustomization and PatternSkinCssCookbook. The top bar TopMenuSkinTopBar (with menu bar, logo and search boxes) can be cloned using same topic name and customized per web. #WebLeftBar ---++ Add a Sidebar If you want a sidebar in addition to the top bar, define a WEBLEFTBAR setting with the name of the topic to include as the sidebar. This can be done in a !WebPreferences for the whole web or in a topic. Example: * Set WEBLEFTBAR = WebLeftBar #BreadCrumbs ---++ Add Breadcrumbs The !TopMenuSkin incorporates "you are here" breadcrumbs in the pulldown menu, such as ="Home > Main web > P > P > View=. The P's indicate the parent topic(s). If you prefer the old verbose breadcrumbs you can enable it with the following preferences setting: * Set BREADCRUMBS = 1 #FixedTopMenu ---++ Fixed Menu-Bar The FIXEDTOPMENU preferences setting determines if the menu-bar is fixed or auto-hidden. If set to on, the menu-bar is always visible at the top, regardless of the window scroll position. If off, the menu-bar hides when scrolled, and can be shown by hovering over %ATTACHURL%/menu-start.png - the gray TWiki icon. * Set FIXEDTOPMENU = off ---++ Installation This skin is pre-installed. TWiki administrators can upgrade the skin as needed on the TWiki server. %TWISTY{ mode="div" showlink="Show details %ICONURL{toggleopen}% " hidelink="Hide details %ICONURL{toggleclose}% " }% * Download the ZIP file from the Skin homepage (see below) * Unzip ==%TOPIC%.zip== in your twiki installation directory * Install TWiki:Plugins/JQueryPlugin and enable it using configure (if not done already) * To turn on the skin, write in !Main.TWikiPreferences: %BR% =* Set SKIN = topmenu, pattern= * [[%SCRIPTURL{"view"}%/%WEB%/%TOPIC%?skin=topmenu,pattern][Test if installed]] * *Note* on upgrading existing TWiki: * See [[#WebSpecific][Web-specific Menu-Bars]] above on how to retrofit and customize menu-bars. * *Note* on using this skin on TWiki-5.1.1 and older: * Attach %ATTACHURL%/twiki-help.gif to %SYSTEMWEB%.TWikiDocGraphics. * *Note* on using this skin on TWiki-4.2 and 4.3: * This skin depends on TWiki 5.0 specific feature =%WEB{format="$current"}%= to show the current web in the Web menu. To use this skin on TWiki 4.2 or 4.3, remove the parameter from the WEB variable (to show only =%WEB%=), or apply patch TWikibug:Item6424 (to add the format parameter feature). * This skin depends on TWiki 5.0 specific feature =%ADDTOHEAD{}%= to add style sheets to the HTML head section. Apply patch TWiki:Support.SID-01117 to inline style sheets. * Apply patch TWikibug:Item6430 so that Edit and Attach buttons point to the current topic instead of !TopMenuSkinTopBar. * Apply patch TWikibug:Item6438 so that breadcrumb links point to the current web instead of the %SYSTEMWEB% web. * Attach %ATTACHURL%/menu-down.gif to %SYSTEMWEB%.TWikiDocGraphics. * Attach %ATTACHURL%/twiki-gray.gif to %SYSTEMWEB%.TWikiDocGraphics. * If you have more than 30 webs, apply TWikibug:Item6429 to limit the number of webs shown in the "Home" menu. %ENDTWISTY% ---++ Skin Info * Set SHORTDESCRIPTION = Skin with pulldown menus in top bar * Sponsor: [[http://twiki.net/][Twiki, Inc.]] %TABLE{ tablewidth="100%" columnwidths="170," }% | Skin Author: | TWiki:Main.PeterThoeny | | Copyright: | © 2010-2018, TWiki:Main.PeterThoeny, [[http://twiki.org/][TWiki.org]]
