[PATCH] How can i change the position of the menu?

[roman.doroschevici@…]

Can I change the project menu place, because it is not good in many themes? Thanks.

As it is, you can only move it inside the metanav bar (i.e. to the left or to the right) editing your projects conf/trac.ini. Search for the line starting with "metanav", which probably looks like

metanav = login,logout,settings,help,about

Now place the term "projectmenu" at the position you like it better, e.g.

metanav = projectmenu,login,logout,settings,help,about

But I'm afraid this won't suit better with your themes...

I applied a few modifications to the latest code from the SVN repository, including the previously mentioned fixes from ticket #1393 and #1372. Additionally, in my version the SELECT element is stored in an environment variable named projectmenu.

What is the benefit from this latter change? Using the NavHiderPlugin, one can hide the select box from the metanav bar completely, and instead place it anywhere on the page, by e.g. adding the following fragment to the templates/header.cs file:

<?cs if:projectmenu ?><?cs var:projectmenu ?><?cs /if ?>

(probably it would even go into one <?cs .. ?> statement, but I'm not that familiar with it). If no special placement is required, it still goes to the metanav.

I will add the patch and the resulting Python-Egg as well - the latter for those not so familiar with patching stuff :) If someone is still working on this plugin, a decision may be taken to adopt this code to the SVN repository...
