    I am using this to display all of the top level pages in my space. Is it possible to have the "Home" page always be at the top of the list? Is it also possible to have it automatically leave out the "Home" page?

    1. Unknown User (amoran)

      {sorted-children:@home} or {sorted-children:@home|showRoot=true}

        Right now, my pages are structured in my space like this:

        SPACE

        • Home
        • Documents
        • Other Stuff
        • ETC

        So when I have the tag with the parameters you suggest, I get nothing since nothing is under @home. And when I use @root, everything works fine except the list is output alphabetically, and Home ends up in the middle. So I want to either have it be at the top of the list, or not show up at all.

        Should I be structuring my wiki so that everything is under home? I am a little new to Confluence.

          Go into browse-space (tree view) and drag the home page to the top of the list.

    I was wondering if there was a way to apply the menubar macro to the sorted-children macro?

    I've tried the following:

    {menubar:id=testchildrenmenu}
{sorted-children}
{menubar}

    But it doesn't seem to be working. What am I doing incorrectly?

    Thanks in advance for your help!

    1. Unknown User (amoran)

      You need to use the {wikimenu} macro to strip the outer unordered list, which should enable you to use the output of the sorted-children macro in a menu, eg:

      {menubar:id=testchildrenmenu}
{wikimenu}{sorted-children}{wikimenu}
{menubar}

      Which results in: (I actually pointed this at @root to give it something useful to display)

      Unknown macro: {menubar}
      Unknown macro: {wikimenu} Unable to render content due to system error: java.lang.ClassCastException: class com.adaptavist.confluence.pagemacros.SortedChildrenMacro cannot be cast to class com.atlassian.renderer.v2.macro.Macro (com.adaptavist.confluence.pagemacros.SortedChildrenMacro is in unnamed module of loader org.apache.felix.framework.BundleWiringImpl$BundleClassLoader @79ebbb93; com.atlassian.renderer.v2.macro.Macro is in unnamed module of loader org.apache.catalina.loader.ParallelWebappClassLoader @62d363ab)

    Thanks for this handy macro. The Confluence Notation Guide mentions a sort option. What sort methods are available?

    How do I get the siblings for every parent page to show in in the menu when not viewing the home page?

    {menubar}
{menuitem}{menulink:home}Home Page{menulink}{menuitem}
{wikimenu}{sorted-children:@home|parent=Home|page=@home|showPageSiblings=true|depth=999}{wikimenu}
{menubar}

    i have found another issue with the menu of space pages that I am tryng to crete. It is not wrapping which does not look pretty. I need to be able to create a menu of all of the pages in a space, wrapp the menu, and I need the menu to work even if the Home page name has been changed. Is there any way to create this menu with the current macros or is it possible to get some one to develop this capability and how much would it cost?

    1. Unknown User (amoran)

      I'm not entirely sure what you are asking for, it's possible that a support contract is what you need rather than actual development since the sorted-children macro should be fine with spaces using non-standard homepage names ... although that depends greatly on what markup you are using - the support contract would enable us to assist you in choosing the correct markup for your task.

      1. Unknown User (susan.hallwood@nerdsonsite.com)

        Perhaps a developer in not in need. I am frustrated since I have been trying to solve this issue for a quite a while now. I started out using the pop-menu macro with the children macro to create a menus of the pages in each space. The children macro didn't work because the client's users have changed the name of some of their home pages. I also discovered that the popmenu macro is part of the popkong theme that is no longer being developed. The popkong theme is installed but when we upgrade the clients production wikis to Confluence 3.5 the popkong theme will be uninstalled and they will be using the new theme that i am creating uing the Builder theme which has to replicate the popkong theme as much as possible. The sorted children macro fixes the problem with the home page name changes but when viewing another page (not the home page) the siblings are only displayed in the a drop down menu for that page. Additionally, when viewing the menu in another space with long page names, the menu overlaps the navagation panel. This would be ok except the theme is a fixed width theme so the menu needs to wrap. I am working on trying wrap the menu using css but that does not fix the issuue with the siblings being displayed in the menu no matter what page you are viewing.

        This is the wiki mark up i have tried:

        {table:width=100%|cellpadding=0|cellspacing=0|border=1|bgcolor=#778899}
{tr:bgcolor=#778899}
{td:style=white-space:prewrap}
{menubar:class=pagemenu}
{wikimenu}{children:page=Home|all=true|sort=title} {wikimenu}
{menubar}
{td}
{tr}
{table}


{table:width=100%|cellpadding=0|cellspacing=0|border=1|bgcolor=#778899}
{tr:bgcolor=#778899}
{td:style=white-space:prewrap}
{menubar:class=pagemenu}
{wikimenu}
{sorted-children:@home|parent=Home|page=Home|countParentPages=true|showPageSiblings=true|depth=999}
{wikimenu}
{menubar}
{td}
{tr}
{table}
