Theme Builder - For Developers

Note: If you're a theme developer or designer, you probably want to read Builder - For Designers instead

Whether you want to theme your custom actions, make it easy for designers to add CSS to your macros or even want to create mini-applications, this theme provides an arsenal of functionality aimed at reducing your workload...

Seamless Integration

The theme is brimming with customisation options allowing you to seamlessly integrate your own features in to the wiki's navigation.

You can also seamlessly integrate your actions and macros in to the wiki by applying the theme to them.

By integrating your custom functionality this way, you're also able to divest most of the random aesthetic changes that occur over time by allowing designers to easily change theme-level navigation and style sheets.

CSS Injection

Leave the aesthetics to designers - add a few simple classes to your HTML markup and let them do the rest with CSS:

The theme makes it easy for designers to inject CSS, leaving you free to get on with coding.

Menu Driven

Easily add menus to your own macros and actions using the royalty free menu system included as part of the theme's license:

You can even add menus to normal wiki content - perfect for creating online software simulations!

Browser Detection

Your client-side scripts can use the theme's inbuilt JavaScript browser classification API to determine all manner of information about the end-user environment.

Scriptix Compatible

Have you seen our free Scriptix plugin? It lets you write server-side macros, servlets, actions, event listeners and much more.

Theme Builder allows you to embed scriptix macros in to the theme and allows you to apply the theme to your scriptix actions. Now you can not only write Confluence extensions in a huge array of scripting languages, you can tightly integrate them in to the UI as well!

Macros Galore

This theme is chock full of all kinds of useful macros to help with a wide variety of tasks.

For example, you can show or hide your own macros in the theme or in pages based on page title, labels, context and mode to name but a few. You can run your macros in the context of other pages and even other spaces if so desired, simply by wrapping them in macros included in the theme plugin.

Source Code Included

Found a bug and need it fixing immediately? Need to tweak the way something works? No problem - you get the full plugin source code with the commercial license!

The source code is also ideal for finding out how to do some of the more tricky tasks in Confluence programming.
