    I would like the navigation to appear before the menu. How do i make that happen?

    1. Unknown User (gfraser)

      Just copy the wiki notation from the menu panel in to the navigation panel and vice versa.

    I addes a left sidebar to my layout. Good thing in pages. But when I switch to the space administration this sidebar is making the page too wide. Is it possible to filter the context in page and admin?

    When I modify the nav bar, it always applies a grey background despite what I choose in the background picker.

    Nevermind... I'm limited to about a dozen menu styles unless I get brave enough to do this: http://www.adaptavist.com/display/Builder/Customising+Menu+Styles

      Despite the page title, I find it is often easiest to go the whole hog and start from a Custom menu style and code it all yourself!

    Hi,

    don't know if this is the best place to put this and maybe I even have to address this on the other side, but I'm using the Theme Builder in combination with the Workflow plugin.

    In the Navigation part of my Layout, I use the pagestatus macro of the workflow plugin.

    This all works fine, except when I'm not directly on a page, but on Space Admin or the pages overview of my space. Then I get the following error:

    Error formatting macro: pagestatus: java.lang.ClassCastException: com.atlassian.confluence.spaces.SpaceDescription$$EnhancerByCGLIB$$5c2ec3a cannot be cast to com.atlassian.confluence.pages.AbstractPage

    Is this a bug or something I did wrong or?

    P.

      You really should be posting these kinds of questions to the Forum ... but wrap your macro call in a {builder-show:context=page}

        hi Alain,

        Tnx for the fix.

        Somehow I completely missed the existence of the forum. will use that from now on.

    Can you please help me? I have edited the default layout and now no tab for configuration is displayedin order to restore it or change it. What can I do? Shall I have to change it from configuration files of the Confluence?

    thank you!

    1. Unknown User (amoran)

      It should not be possible for you to edit the DEFAULT layout - it is read-only.

      Can you explain what steps you took to achieve this?

      1. Unknown User (tbersimis)

        Probably you are right.I may edited a child layout of the Default layout in the layout hierachy (maybe TESTLAYOUT), excuse me for not being precise but I am a begginer with theme builder.So I after I created a space and some pages I changed the theme to an Adaptavist Theme Builder one. I discovered that there was an option to edit the layout so I chose from the site admin>edit layout and entered the page that provided a preview of the existing layout with links to layout manager and theme administrator. Then layout manager>layout tab as above, I clicked some of the tabs for header,left sidebar and so on and saved it. Then I also saved it on the previous page that shows a preview as I mentioned before. Now with the new layout with sidebars and so on there are no menu, navigation bars with configuration tabs in order to change it again, what can I do?

        thank you very much again,

          Hi Thomas,

          I have responded to your email also - but included part of my response here:

          I believe you should still be able to manipulate the layout through the main Theme Builder administration screen within the administration area of Confluence. The URL will be something similar to:

          http://<base_URL>/admin/builder/manage-layouts.action

          From here, you should be able to re-instate the navigation links on the layout in question.

          Should you not be able to re-instate the elements you require, you should be able to make a new copy of the default layout, apply this to the space in question and begin your modifications.

          1. Unknown User (kbrophy)

            Another alternative is to append:

             ?layout=default&latch=true

            to the URL of the space in question. This will re-instate the default layout and latch it to your space. Once the layout changes are as you want - you can append:

            ?latch=false

            to the URL to clear the latch and use the layout you have specified.
