PageTree Plugin

Thanks for the plugin - it's helpful.

It would be great if there were a way to have the menu expanded by default to x levels. As it is now, I need to click down to the page I wish to visit, then click the page itself. If the top levels were expanded it would save a click.

Also - it doesn't seem to have any memory of how I've left the various trees. It would be nice if things would stay expanded / collapsed while I'm browsing through the site.

Best of luck!

I am working with the 'left navigation' theme and I want to put the PageTree plug in into the Navigation page.   
I can get the PageTree macro working in the main page, but when I put it in the Navigation page, I get a NullPointerException (output in the Navigation area).   The Navigation page looks correct when I view it, it only has a problem when it is rendered as the side bar. 

Has anyone had any success this plugin in the Navigation page?

Excellent macro! I like it a lot. I made a slight modification so that users can hide the tree if they want to (and change 'display:inline' to 'display:none' if you want the tree menu to be hidden by default):

#if ($action.isPrintableVersion() == false)
<style>
.spacetree * ul{
padding-left:0px;
margin-left: 0px;
}
.spacetree * li{
margin-left: 5px;
padding-left:5px;
}
</style>

<script>
  function toggleNavTree()
  {
    var td = document.getElementById('treenavtd');
    if(td.style.display == 'none') td.style.display = 'inline';
    else td.style.display = 'none';
  }
</script>

<table>
<tr><a href="javascript:toggleNavTree()">Toggle Space Navigation Tree</a></tr>
<tr>
<td id="treenavtd" style="display:inline;" valign="top" align="left" width="22%" >
<div class="tabletitle">Space Map</div>
<div class="spacetree">
#includePage($helper.spaceKey "TreeNavigation")
</div>
</td>
<td valign="top" align="left" width="78%">
<div class="wiki-content">
<blockquote>
$body
</blockquote>
</div>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
#else
<div class="wiki-content">
    $body
</div>
#end

An important question is: Most of our pages in a space is not branced off "Home", but I would like the tree to include all pages in a space, is it possible to modify the macro to allow setting root to space name so that all pages of a space would display? Thanks!

Hi Zohar

I'm coming into your 'little family owned bank' on Thursday - to discuss our fund factsheet reporting technology.  Our new product version links directly in with Confluence.  Thought it might be nice for you and I to hook up.  I can't seem to get your email anywhere so I hope you're watching this page.  Give me a shout:  jonty.hurwitz@statpro.com

Zohar & William - would it be possible to change the license of this plugin to BSD (ie. a certified open source license)?

If you dont want to create a page only for the tree navigation, you can put the macro directly in the page layout, just replace a line of the code of Mingyi Liu from

#includePage($helper.spaceKey "TreeNavigation")

to

$helper.renderConfluenceMacro("{pagetree:root=$space.homePage.title|sort=natural|excerpt=true|reverse=false}")

Hi - I get the same exception. Did you find a solution?

I used the plugin repository to update my PageTree plugin. Now all my pages are saying:

"The page you were trying to reach does not exist. You may want to try a search, or browse the site to find the page you were looking for."

I use the layout mod with the following:

$helper.renderConfluenceMacro("{pagetree:root=$space.homePage.title|sort=natural|excerpt=true|reverse=false}")

guys, any clue why I would get this exception?

Cause:

Stack Trace: [hide]com.opensymphony.xwork.config.ConfigurationException: There is no Action mapped for namespace /confluence/pages and action name naturalchildren
at com.opensymphony.xwork.DefaultActionProxy.(DefaultActionProxy.java:72)
at com.opensymphony.xwork.DefaultActionProxyFactory.createActionProxy(DefaultActionProxyFactory.java:45)
....

Thanks in advance! 

Ok, that error I reported just before this post, seems to be related to the server Base URL in my configuration which goes something like <server>/confluence

When I use the page tree macro, it tries to create the URL like this:

/confluence//confluence/pages/naturalchildren.action?decorator=none&excerpt=false&sort=natural&reverse=false&pageId=264&treeId=1

 If I remove the /confluence from the server base URL, then it messes up all the short URLs generated within confluence.  Any idea why the macro is looking to add /confluence to the base URL?

Please change the "Download JAR" link to point to the latest 2.1.x-compatible version of this plugin: 1.2.5. Thanks.
