Top and Left Navigation Theme

I expect this should be also be uploadable? If so it would make a nice addition to the plugin repository. If you need help with adding it, please email support@adaptavist.com where we will be happy to help you.

It doesn't work with 2.1.4...  there's no top menu

I get the following error when trying to install this on 2.2.8:

Expected plugin key [at.hansen.confluence.topleftnav] and got [com.atlassian.confluence.themes.topandleftnavigation] from: http://svn.atlassian.com/svn/public/contrib/confluence/TopLeftNav-Theme-Plugin/TopLeftNav-Theme.jar

My confluence version is 2.0 and JDK version is 1.5.0. The plusin is installed and the theme is applied, but nothing happens.

Is there something with this theme that won't allow me to remove children from being viewed?  The LeftNav Theme will display children despite commenting out render children.  Interestingly enough, this only occurs on any pages that can be reached via the left navigational menu.  If a page can be clicked on from that menu, it will always open up with children being viewable.

This theme is working quite well for us.....but does throw tons of errors in the logs. Basically stuff like this over and over again.... (stack trace trimmed).

Thoughts?

This is my favourite theme, I just miss one feature from JSPWiki. It has a link called "Edit this menu" which gives you direct access to the left hand side menu and unfortunately it is really difficult to create such a link from within the theme, you basically have to know the pageId of the Navigation page of the space.

Here is a JSPWiki screenshot. On the left hand side, in the menu, there is an option "Edit this menu". It's a single click away.

Here is how I ended up solving it:

Is anyone using this them with Gliffy installed?

All the other themes I'm using show the "Add Diagram" link whereas this one doesn't (the previous version did but not the 1.1 version).

Just a note from the "author": I am following the posted comments, but I cannot spend much time into debugging and working on the theme. I would invite everybody to continue working on it - I have made the source public as well - and the modifications I have done are really minor, basically just putting some lines of code from the "basic" theme into the "left navigation" theme, actually there are just modifications in the space.vmd, blog.vmd and page.vmd files and those modification are more or less on a "copy HTML + variables" niveau.

What I already found out is that the codebase of the basic and left navigation theme have changed from 2.2.x to 2.3.x but I have no idea what really was done. Maybe that has something to do with the gliffy plugin. The last modifications I have done are just modifying so far, that it works again in my 2.3.1 environment.

Could you please help me how to customize the header and footer for the space when the themes-topandleftnavigation is selected as a theme for space level..
Thanks and Warm regards,

Prasanna.

Upgraded from 258 to 261

Theme still works but the gallery function now breaks the layout.
The flash gallery appears 10 page scrolls down and below the content, it no longer floats on top of page content.

Can someone help me? 

Fixed a bug on this theme that was causing the Approvals Workflow Plugin's page approvals not to show (APRV-39)

I've created a new jar topleftnavigation-1.2.jar and tested in on 2.6.2 and looked ok.

I also created a pom.xml so it can be built with maven.

I am way to busy as to try other versions... If somebody could give it try, that'd be great

Is anyone making progress on getting this to work with 2.7.x ?
I've lost all left navigation on wiki spaces, and it's sort of crippling to go w/out it.

The T&L modified theme has weird css issues, and this one won't work at all for me.

I'm trying to upgrade from Confluence 2.5.8 to 2.7.1, seems I am out of luck!

I tried v2.0 of the plugin with 2.7.1, but for some reason I don't see the Page and Space operation menus in the left pane. I also get this error:

-\- url: /display/X/Main | userName: pebr | action: viewpage | page: 1873
org.apache.velocity.exception.ParseErrorException: Encountered "\n" at line 53, column 124.
Was expecting one of:
     "," ...
     ")" ...
      ...
      ...

Any ideas?

If I try older versions I run into CSS trouble such as http://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONF-10424

I also find the versions confusing and spread out, it would help if there was a version compatibility table.

I still think this is the best theme, we use it for almost all our spaces!

I tried Top and Left Navigation v1.1 with Confluence 2.7.2, and for some reason it looks good.

I don't have time right now to look further, will try next week.
