Questions answered by this recipe

Is there a solution to get all editing, administer and layout options on one place to provide a nice overview and easy access.

Description

A desktop-application like menu for authors and admins. The menus position is fixed at the top of the page.

Tryout a demo on http://demo.netstreams.org/menu. Login/Password is Author/test or Admin/test.

Installation

Prerequisites

Cookbook:AuthUser. Create authgroup @admins and @authors. The menu shows only actions/options which a user is allowed to perform. The menu works also without AuthUser but you have to change the if authgroup @authors/@admins conditions in Site.Menu.

Fresh Installation

  1. Download the package listed below and copy it into your pmwiki directory.
  2. Copy the sample config file doc/netstreams/sample-config_menu.php into /local/config.php.

Existing Installation

  1. include a wikipage marker for the page Site.Menu directly below the body-tag into your pub/skin/yourskin/skin.tmpl file. Change the style of the body-tag to position:absolute. Take a look on the skin template in pub/skins/pmwikimod/pmwiki.tmpl
  2. use the sample config file in doc/netstreams/sample-config_menu.php to update your local/config.php
