Creating Wiki Menus

Here are the instructions to create those neat looking menus in the left column.

Creating the menus

To create a left menu, use something like the following:

<ul class="left-menu">
<li class="group"><%= tag_href_selected("Overview") %></li>
<%= tag_li_href_selected("Tryouts") %>
<%= tag_li_href_selected("Participant Information") %>
<%= tag_li_href_selected("Practice and Game Day Schedules") %>
<%= tag_li_href_selected("Parents Information") %>
</ul>

The “tag_href_selected” is for the top group name, and should be the same as the section the menus will be in. The other “tag_li_href_selected” are the individual menu items.

Both of these calls can include additional parameters: name, page, match. The “name” parameter is what you want to show on the screen, “page” is the actual page name to link to, and “match” is the text you want to match to select this item (can be a regular expression so ”$book^” will only match “book” not “book club”).

Include

Since the menus will be used on more than one page, and we don’t have to repeat the menus on each page (which would make it hard to change them, we create the menu in a page like “Overview_left_menu” and then on each left page link to it like this:

On page “Overview_left”

[ [!include Overview_left_menu] ]

Note: Don’t include spaces in the above between the brackets.
