Tob Bar and Menu Structure

NOTE: The skin is designed to incorporate the "you are here" breadcrumb into the pulldown menus:
"Home" menu => "Web" menu => List of parent topics, if any (shown as "P"s) => Current topic ("View" menu).

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:

Example WebTopBar menu structure with additional "Bugs" pulldown menu:

%INCLUDE{%SYSTEMWEB%.TopMenuSkinHomeMenu}%
   * [[%BASEWEB%.%HOMETOPIC%][<img src="%ICONURL{web-bg}%" border="0" alt="" width="16" height="16" style="background-color:%WEBBGCOLOR%" /> <nop>%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:

Example:

%INCLUDE{"%SYSTEMWEB%.TopMenuSkin"}%
<div class="twTopMenuTab">
   * [[WebHome][%ICON{home}% Home %ICON{menu-down}%]]
      * [[WebNotify][Subscribe]]
      * [[WebStatistics][Statistics]]
   * [[WebSearch][%ICON{searchtopic}% Search %ICON{menu-down}%]]
      * [[WebSearchAdvanced][Advanced search]]
      * [[SearchHelp][Search help]]
</div>

Renders as:

NOTE: The pulldown menus only work if the TWiki:Plugins/JQueryPlugin is installed and enabled.

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 PatternSkinCustomization#ReadOnlySkinMode.

CSS and JavaScript

This section defines the CSS and JavaScript used by the TopMenuSkin; View Raw to see the source. Some additional CSS is defined in templates/vewi.topmenu.tmpl

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.

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:

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 menu-start.png - the gray TWiki icon.

Installation

Note: You do not need to install anything on the browser to use this skin. The following instructions are for the administrator who installs the skin on the server where TWiki is running.
